MUST WATCH....Nigeria vs Japan...Time: 21:00 local brazilian time (2:00am Nigerian West African Time WAT, that is early morning of August 5)


hehehe.....The Rio 2016 Olympic football tournament starts on Thursday, August 4 in Brazil. The opening match will be between Iraq and Denmark in Brasilia.
The Dream Team VI, drawn in Group B alongside Colombia, Japan and Sweden are eyeing their second Olympic gold medal after their Atlanta 1996 conquest.


Nigeria is 5 hours ahead of Manaus - State of Amazonas, Brazil and due to the difference in time zones, the match times are very awkward.
