Oh, I didn't mean there will be no soccer / football until the next World Cup. Just not an international competition of this stature. I agree with you the Olympics is less important.

I watched Turkey vs. Germany and thought Turkey dominated most of the match. Pretty amazing considering how many players they were without. Did you know Germany only had three shots on goal in the whole match? Unfortunately for Turkey, they all went in. Germany's trouble generating offense finally caught up to them against Spain.
