I think both teams are far better than they've shown today.

The studio pundit at half-time was right about neither team wanting to lose, rather than trying to win.
Yeah, it certainly looked like it.
GB did step up a bit in the second half and deserve the lead.
Roebuck, the Keeper looks dependable.
 
GB through to the quarter finals with one group game remaining.

Japan will now need to beat Chile in their final game otherwise they're out of their own Olympics at the group stage.

Sweden look like the dark horses, they've now beaten two decent teams, USA 3-0 and Australia 4-2.

A draw would have effectively put GB through and wouldn't have been the worst result for Japan, who you'd take to beat Chile. It's a consequence of having 8 teams from 12 going to the knockout rounds. You'd imagine third in this group would go through with China and Zambia having drawn 4-4 earlier today in group F. The Zambian striker Barbra Banda has got two hat-tricks so far and they've got one point from them.

That Australia game could have gone either way. Sam Kerr missed a pen at 3-2 and hit it straight at the keeper when clean through, not to mention being denied a stonewall penalty in the first half.
