Argentina and Mexico eliminated at men’s soccer tournament (Yahoo Sports)
There won’t be a third soccer gold medal for Argentina. The traditional powers were eliminated early from the men’s Olympic tournament, dealing another blow to Argentine soccer following the senior team’s loss in the Copa America final in June and the ongoing crisis enveloping the sport at home. Playing without any of its biggest stars, Argentina needed a win against Honduras but was held to a 1-1 draw at the Mane Garrincha Stadium in Brasilia.
