Korea will play Brazil at Old Trafford on Tuesday while Japan will play Mexico at Wembley on the same night.

After one of the greatest days in their Olympic history with six gold medals, Britain’s soccer players were looking to make history of their own by reaching the Olympic soccer semis for the first time since 1948.

The match against South Korea ended 1-1 after Aaron Ramsey scored one penalty after 36 minutes and had one saved three minutes later after Ji Dong-Won had put Korea ahead in the 29th minute. There were no further goals in normal or extra time so the game went to a shootout.

After both teams converted their first four penalties, Daniel Sturridge’s poor effort was saved by Korean keeper Lee Bum-Young and Ki Sung-Yeung converted to give his side a 5-4 shoot-out win.

Brazil, chasing their first ever Olympic soccer gold, fell behind to Honduras when Mario Martinez scored with a stunning volley after 11 minutes, but Honduras were reduced to 10 men when Wilmer Crisanto was sent off for two swift yellow cards in the first half.

Leandro Damiao equalised eight minutes before the break, but the underdogs unexpectedly went back in front after 48 minutes when Roger Espinoza found the net with a soft, low angled shot.

Neymar brought Brazil back into the game with a 50th minute penalty before Leandro Damiao made it 3-2 10 minutes later with a well placed shot.

Brazil coach Mano Menezes told reporters: “The game was very difficult as I expected it to be. If we had scored one or two chances early in the game it might have been different, but the first Honduras goal unsettled the team.”

Mexico survived a fightback from Senegal in a thrilling match that delighted a crowd of almost 82,000 at Wembley who saw Senegal come from 2-0 down to level at 2-2 before two defensive errors allowed Mexico to win 4-2 in extra time.

I didn’t watch them playing but I thought that they were really good and also Korean team did a really great job. Also England players were very good I thank all the players who played their best and let’s go reds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Adora Svitak was saying about adults can learn from kids. I agree with her. Sometimes adults say the wrong things, however they just argue that they are saying the right thing. She talked about kid doing good things, like Anne Frank. Age doesn't matter. Kid can do anything. She said that adults just block children's freedom because of the reason that it can be dangerous. The adults are really blocking us from making rules ourselves. They say that we should have freedom, however in real life, the adults say they will accept our ideas, but they do what they want to do. The adults should accept us and try to understand us, not to force us.

I always play before studying all the things. Even I study I can't study well, I draw at my book. So I really want to repair myself. Because I always get low scores at the test because of my attitude to my work. So I want to play after working. When I play I can't really play because of my parents. So I don't feel really fun after playing so I kept drawing at the book and watching articles that are not test part.
I think I should change my attitude.
First, I should try hard when I study. When I don't concentrate my grades become lower and also when studying a lot of time doesn't make me study lot of things. When I concentrate I can memorize more things in a short time.
Second, I should have daily planner. I don't have plan than I become lazy at free times. But when I have planner with plan on it I can't play. Watching my plans on it I can't sleep. And to study hard I will try to write plans for 30 days.
Please remind me when I become lazy!!!!!!!

I've watched Messi playing at the field. You know anything about Messi? He is the best player? He is the FC Barcelnoa's ace? That is what everybody know. He was born at 1987 he was a good player when he was young. However, there was difficulty to him. He had problems in his bone and muscle. So when he was young his physeal plate was blocked. His family can't handle the money to surgery. Later FC Barcelona asked Messi to play for them as a boyhood player. But there was a deal with Barcelona and Messi. They asked Messi to play for there team for 5 years. And FC Barcelona helped Messi to grow and he grew up to168cm.
I think Messi is a very good player because his dribbles are very good. I am a FC Barcelona fan so I watch every single match. When Messi is sitting at the bench FC Barcelona's score pannel doesn't go up very well. However, when there is Messi playing on the field. The score pannel goes up in a fast speed like his dribble.  When he comes out he always puts one goal.
Second, I think messi is a good player because he is short however he puts more goals than anyone in Liga BBVA. Even tall and handsome Ronaldo can't follow him.  The team is loosing he sometimes  
put goals and even leads to victory. His called the best player in the world because he doesn't fight with the player or argue to the judge also he always practice hard to be the best player. Also he doesn't even argue to the coach when he is staying at the bench. That's what he is different with other star players.
I think the player that has technique and good attitude is really the worlds best player.

If players is treated in a injust way than the players should argue to the coach and they have a right to argue. Professional players can't be treated like amateur players.
Some big teams' coaches say that they need a power to control the players so they could make their team best. As an example, at EPL that is Manchester Uniteds home leagueManchester Cities coach Rorncho Manchini and a world class plaer Carlos Tevez had a problem with relationship because of Manchini's rude attitude. After the fight, Tevez said that Manchini treated him like a dog. So he was very mad because of Manchini at the match with Bayern Munchen, and he refused to play. Manchini forced him to to play so he ran away from him and even didn't participated at the training. Then the star player Tevez was moved to the minor team he tried to transfer to another team. However, Manchini and Tevez later made peace. There can be a happy ending like Tevez and Manchini's case. But there can be a dark side. Than when it happens players should obey the coach's order Like this case there can be a unfare rulling between the coach and the player. Than like my example the player's should refuse the coaches order to solve ths problem. the players must have right to argue coach's bad attitude and problems.
Second, there should be a law or a rule that can solve problem. As an example Korean professional soccer club jeju united had a p-roblem.coach Altool ordered the players to do tough training ang also treated players like soldiers. Also he didn't hear players adviceabout formations. The teams captain D.S. Lee argued to the coach Altool about formations. The coach tookoff his captain arm strap and gave it to another player.
So the players at jeju are being quiet to the coach , and Lee.D.S. doesn't have injury but he is in a release danger. Why? because of disobaying Altools order. It's what happened in Korea also it was on the news but government doesn't access it. To make K league better I think there should be a law or rule that can protect players and can punish the coach.
Manchester United's coach and players doesn't have these kind of problems and they will be forever.

A devil is sleeping in a quiet stadium
A devil is roaring in a quiet stadium
A devil will open his eyes and make the quiet stadium noisy

Playing in a noisy stadium
Playing for the other teammates
Playing not for scores but for the fans

After the match, the last player left the stadium
After everything becomes quiet

The devil wakes up
