On August 11, 2008, Brazil won the gold medal game in women's soccer at the Paris Olympics in a 0-1 defeat against the United States.
The U.S. women's soccer team Swanson's 57th-minute winner was somewhat controversial, as Swanson was not offside before scoring, but her teammate Smith, suspected of being offside, ran toward the ball in preparation for the catch but ultimately didn't allow Swanson to do so, and VAR did not intervene. After the match, Brazilian fans enthusiastically discussed the goal conceded and the result of Brazil winning the silver medal.
"It's an offside ball! The other guy ran toward the ball."
He said, "All the countries in this world are offside. But the Olympics favors the United States."
"Why is there no VAR image? ?VAR only sees Brazil's goals!?"
He said, "You can protest to FIFA and the IOC that it was an illegal goal."
He said, "It's unfortunate, but we have nothing to complain about, we won medals and the men's soccer team didn't even make it to the Olympics."
The silver medal is a miracle for a team that will be eliminated from the group stage in 2028."
"Marta is still bigger than Neymar" (100+ fights between Brazilian fans in the building)
