That was a bit exciting! Villa should sign that goalie.
Cracking. Saw them beat Aussies in first game and thye have been briooiant throughout
An o.g. of Okore proportions in the womens football final.
Best Olympic team moment I've seen. The Dutch were the better team but happened to be up against a brilliant keeper. She was immense. Felt a bit for the Dutch but at least the coach got to dish out plenty of hugs and support to her team which by the look of her I'm sure she liked.
Yep the GB keeper was exceptional in the woman's hockey, the Dutch will no doubt be aggrieved as they were far the better team in the match.

Maybe, but they only got through by winning a penalty shootout whereas Britain qualified by right. I don't think they can have too many complaints on that basis.
It's time we won a penalty shoot out, even if it was the Hockey women that showed us how it's done.
I watched one of the group games in the hockey and thought the keeper looked brilliant and every game since she seems to have just got better, she was immense today and was the key difference between the teams.

To quote Barry Davies, frankly, who cares.
Excellent entertainment
Completely agree. A rally good game and only a great goalkeeping display, dogged defending and a very good conversion ratio for the few chances created saw the Brits win it.
From the very beginning when a couple of the Dutch girls had the giggles during their anthem it was fantastic entertainment.
The Olympics where even our near-pensioners are whipping the world's arses. Unbelievable.
Complete with a hip replacement. The epitome of old age.
It's that attention to detail that really pisses the others off!
Really well done to Nick Skelton. I remember my nan taking me to Canwell Show near Sutton Coldfield in the 70s and seeing him jumping there, so that really is an impressive career span. The hockey final was brilliant TV as well, their penalty shoot outs are mental.
