Red Olympians
It seems that Lucas Leiva took the above title too literally as he saw a red card flashed at his foul on his Liverpool team mate Javier Mascherano. The club mates were engaged in the Olympic Mens’ Football Semi Final where Argentina outclassed Brazil 3-0 to deny the World Cup winners an Olympic gold yet again.
Lucas was shown a straight red card while his team mate Thiago Neves was also sent off for a tackle on Mascherano as well.
Argentina’s goals came from a Sergio Aguero brace and a late penalty from Juan Riquelme. All goals coming in the second half.
Argentina now marches into the Final against African powerhouse, Nigeria this Saturday. Mascherano has the chance to earn himself a second Olympic gold medal while Lucas may have to settle for bronze should Brazil come out tops in the bronze medal match.
Good luck to both.

Gotta share this comment by Mark in LYN: "He was desperate to get into the 1st team."
Hehehehehe!
Not like that, he won't get into the 1st team.
