Argentina have made sure that the Olympic gold is theirs for atleast till 2012 in what is said to be a somewhat one sided contest. Argentina beat Nigeria by 1-0 and had the perfect revenge for their 1996 final with Di Maria scoring from a Messi assist. Argentina has always looked fresh with the likes of Lionel Messi and Sergio Aguero in the world's biggest sporting arena. Brazil was looking a bit threatening with Ronaldinho leading the side only for them to get destroyed in the semi-finals by the champions from South America. The event ended Brazil's hopes for claiming its first ever Olympic gold. This has been the only title that has tormented the 5 time world champions.
