Full time! Brazil beat Korea!

Semi Final - Old Trafford - 7th August 2012

Great displays from both teams. Friendly hugs, shirt swappings, and pats on backs all round. Korea have over-performed in this competition, but have been defeated by a superb Brazilian side. A bronze for them would be fantastic.

FULL TIME:  BRAZIL 3  KOREA - 0

Gooaall !! BRA

BRAZIL 3 KOREA 0 Scored by Dimiao (63')
Brazil are in the final against Mexico! Korea have fought valiantly, but to no avail. The favourites come out on top. Great feet from Dimiao, reacts extremely quickly and shuffles his feel to stroke it past the Korean keeper and defence. Great goal, similar to Ronaldinho's against Chelsea a few years back.

Gooaall !! BRA (56')

BRAZIL 2 KOREA 0 Scored by Dimiao (56')
Dimiao strokes it into the bottom left corner from a fabulous Neymar cross. Korea have put up a fight, but Brazil have one foot on the game now.

Penalty Incorrectly Not Given!

Semi Final - Old Trafford - 7th August 2012

Sandro, the Brazilian defensive midfield player, quite clearly tumbled Kim Hyun-Sung over in the middle of the penalty box. Poor decision by the ref, who was right there. The Tottenham player's lucky to get away with that one, it could've been a game changer. Ridiculous really. (48', 2nd).

Second half starts

Semi Final - Old Trafford - 7th August 2012

Korea have had a better performance so far and have been very unlucky.
Can they carry it on though to beat Brazil?
We'll find out, as the second half begins.

Half time here at Old Trafford 1 - 0

Semi Final - Old Trafford - 7th August 2012

Well it's half time here, and Korea really should be leading, but no, it's Brazil 1, Korea 0 after an incredible mistake by the Korean keeper.

Gooaall !! BRA (39')

BRAZIL 1 KOREA 0 Scored by Romulo (39')
Goalkeeping error by Lee Bum-Young. An awful shot trickles in between the Korean keeper's legs as he falls to save it. Still, Romulo seems pretty happy about it.

Another chance for Korea!

Semi Final - Old Trafford - 7th August 2012

Another amazing chance for Korea! Forward Ji Dong-Won floats in a beautiful and enticing ball into Kim Hyun-Sung, who heads it back to Ji just before the goalie, who came racing out to get it, could get a finger to it. Dong-Won then heads it, but the Brazil centre back excellently dives in the way to keep it out, keeper nowhere. Maybe Korea will regret missing these later on...

Great chance for Korea

Semi Final - Old Trafford - 7th August 2012

Great chance for Korea, but Brazil put everyone they could in front of the ball after three shots by Korea with the goalie beaten. Forward Kim Hyun-Sung (pictured) can't believe it. 10th minute in.

Volunteering for the Last Time

Old Trafford 7th August 2012

Today's the last day I'll be volunteering at Old Trafford - I'll be looking after the VIP's who have come to see a South Korean side, who have vastly overcome expectation, play Brazil the long-standing favourites to win the Gold medal, at quarter to eight. If Korea lose, as the betting sites predict, they still have a fine opportunity to get the Bronze medal against either Mexico or Japan, who play at Wembley today at five o'clock.

Canada 3 USA 4

Women's Semi Final - Old Trafford 6th August 2012

What a match. The USA lead the game for less than half a minute, and still won the match after a thrilling non-stop contest between two international next door neighbours. Can't believe USA won. Sinclair's hat trick wasn't enough for Canada.

Gooaall !! USA

End of Normal Time, ET to follow

Women's Semi Final - Old Trafford 6th August 2012

It's 3 - 3 after 90 minutes, so it's going to have to go to extra time, and maybe even penalties after that. USA haven't lead score-wise yet, but keep coming back at Canada. What more can this game produce?
Here are the game's goal scorers so far.

• SINCLAIR Christine (22'), 
• SINCLAIR Christine (67'), 
• SINCLAIR Christine (73')

• RAPINOE Megan (54'), 
• RAPINOE Megan (70'), 
• WAMBACH Abby (80' pen),

Women's Semi Final - Old Trafford 6th August 2012
CANADA 3 USA 3 Scored by Wambach (80')
Penalty taken into the bottom right hand corner. Keeper goes the right way but will never get there. Controversial though. After an incorrectly given indirect free kick inside the box, Rapinoe blasts it at the wall hard, hits the side of a Canadian, and a penalty is given. Ball to hand, surely? Not for the ref. Very well taken penalty though. What a game so far.

Gooaall !! CAN

Women's Semi Final - Old Trafford 6th August 2012
CANADA 3 USA 2 Scored by Sinclair (72')
5 minutes, 3 goals. Sinclair's got a hat trick, and a fantastic one. The captain's scroed again. A great header from a corner, and again past the fingertips of the USA goalie Hope Solo. Canada are back in front. But can they keep it that way?

Gooaall !! USA

Women's Semi Final - Old Trafford 6th August 2012
CANADA 2 USA 2 Scored by Rapinoe (69')
This goal's an absolute peach. Play is switched from left to right, and outside of the penalty box, Rapinoe smacks in past the Canada goalie in the top left corner, then bounces off and in to the right corner. Great goal.

Gooaall !! CAN
