The men’s and women’s soccer competitions at the Olympics consist of two stages, a group stage and a knockout stage. The men’s group stage, with 16 total teams, features four groups of four teams each. The women’s group stage, with 12 teams, includes three groups of four. The group drawing accounts for seeding and geography. In this way, teams avoid playing neighboring countries in early matches. Each team plays the others in its group once, with three points for a victory, one point for a draw and none for a defeat. Teams are ranked by most total points accumulated in the group, and ties are broken by goal difference.
For the men, the top two teams in each group advance to the knockout stage. For the women, the top two teams in each group and the two best third-place teams advance. In both tournaments, the knockout stage begins with the quarterfinal round. All knockout stage matchups are contested over one 90-minute game. In the event of a tie after the 90 minutes, a 30-minute extra time period is played, followed by a penalty shootout if necessary.
The winners of the quarterfinal matches face off in the semifinals. The semifinal winners advance to the Gold Medal Match, the semifinal losers play in the Bronze Medal Match.

Brazil vs. Côte d’Ivoire | Tokyo Olympics 2020: Men’s Soccer Highlights | NBC Sports
nothing sportsmanship in both teams
Côte d'Ivoire DESERVE BETETER QUALITY KITS… 🙁
Ivory cost good for you!!! Great players
I'm old school, I played back when it was a rough game in the 80's, today's soft Sissified game doesn't help the game, specially for men's football.
Nah I’m for Ivory Cost.. but honestly that shouldn’t have been a card..
I favor Ivory Coast but that player did the worst "flop" ever. I saw no contact by Brazil.
I gotta know, who do they have doing the VAR review? That vaccine must be hittin' different
What was the red car for? If anything a yellow should've been given to the guy that should be in the Olympics diving team nstead of playing football.
These commentators are morons.
So var proves to be useless if ref is useless
terrible call was a dive
commentators not good at all , having a decent commentators make a huge difference in the overall enjoyment of the game of football ⚽️
Good IVC!
1:02 foul was called on the wrong guy, you don't flop infront of a guy who didn't even touch you when you sped around him and cut him off. so much flopping acting they couldn't even get a real score, should have put both teams done until 2024.
Tbh Brazil is nothing with out ronaldiño, ronaldo and kaka
Didier Drogba would be proud.
0:56 flop
The unequaled cucumber multivariately open because step-uncle legally dam near a spotted father. loud, assorted sushi
no pudo brazil
NBC is just bad at everything , very lop sided comemtary
That referee definitely belongs in the under 23's
Im gonna have to be carful to not breathe on people to not get a red card 😬
These officials are fucking horrible
You can’t be serious with that dam red card, are we gonna start handing out cards for breathing on people?
I watched the video 10x and still can’t find why he got a red card
Wtf
Olympic footy, is… ugh.
Brazilians play soccer in their sleep better than I'll ever be in real life lol
This lady is very bad at narrating. Give the mic to Lesly Jones lol.
Bruhhh!! He barely touch the guy 😂
Howard sounded like a total melon head here what was he going on about. Seemed like he only got better at announcing the names. His analysis of the game seemed to just gets worse. The guy dived and that follow through, even though momentum in a tackle is a thing was definitely a yellow
Both red cards were clearly not reds
Bro these refs.
Terrible commentary
Men's football
not even a foul….
So that guy put his hand on richarlison and didn’t get carded? Lol is that okay?
cote d'ivoire shirt numbers and names & stuff all torn and falling off…………
Salvaje
One of the worst ref decisions of all time
The Brazilian player DID touch the Ivorian player. Though it did seem like a little bit of a dive, that small usage of hands constitutes as last defender impeding. Think you guys in the comments don't know the rules.
0:46 Ivory Coast needs to up their jersey budget a bit.
Whoever printed Ivory Coast’s kits needs to be fired 😂
Part of the reason I don’t watch MLS
That was one of the most poorly reffed games i have ever seen
That's an INSANE Dive!! A red card? Seriously?
