maican nine-time gold medal-
ist’s “To the World” pose.
Germany tied it with a goal in
the 59th minute by captain
Maximilian Meyer, and neither
team came close the rest of reg-
ulation and two extra periods of
play.

After the teams traded four
tense goals during the shootout
— both sides lining up arm-in-
arm for each attempt, barely
able to watch — Brazilian goal-
keeper Weverton stopped Nils
Petersen’s shot from the spot. As
if scripted, that set up Neymar
with a chance to win gold for
Brazil with one kick.
The greatest soccer player of
this generation of Brazil’s stars,
Neymar calmly seized this mo-
ment.

“I don’t have words to say
anything,” Neymar said later,
sobbing. “I can’t describe my
feelings right now. I just want to
thank my teammates, my
friends and my family, who have
been by my side during the most
difficult moments. It wasn’t easy.
I don’t know what else to say, I’m
just really happy”
The men’s soccer tourna-
ment attracted most of the at-
tention of Brazilian fans at the
Olympics. The Brazilian football
federation took the Olympic
tournament as seriously as ever,
bringing Neymar and many tal-
ented youngsters who are expec-
ted to be in the main squad in
the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
Neymar skipped the Copa
America to try to give the hosts
elusive Olympic gold.
Brazil had lost three Olympic
finals, including four years ago
in London, when it was upset by
Mexico 2-1 with a team that also
included Neymar and other tal-
ented players. Brazil won the

North Texas Fair
and Rodeo
By Todd Brewer
For the Denton Record-Chronicle
Heavy rains on Friday made
for a muddy arena as the 88th
North Texas Fair and Rodeo
kicked off with the first of three
time of 13.9 with abarrier penal-
cult stop in a close range shot off
a comer kick.
“This restores our self-es-
teem,” Brazil coach Rogerio Mi-
cale said. ‘We see that not all was
lost, our football is still alive.
There are some things that need
to be fixed, but today we were
able to make our people happy”
The entire nation came to a
bronze two times.
Brazil arrived as the main
title-favorite but struggled in the
beginning, being held to score-
less draws against South Africa
and Iraq and becoming in dan-
ger of failing to advance past the
group stage.
Germany had its chances but
couldn’t capitalize on them. Ju-
lian Brandt’s right-footed shot
from outside the area stmck the
crossbar, a deflected cross into
the area bounced off the wood-
work, and a header exploded off
the crossbar again. Weverton
was also forced to make a diffi-
ty
In the classic event, saddle
bronc riding, Huntsville’s Garet
Aldridge posted a 75 aboard No.
Y47 Geronimo for the win.
Placing second was Clint
Hopping with a score of 70 on
No. L03 lip Tricks. There were
no other qualified rides.
The tie-down roping was
messy, with all the posted times
in double digits.
An 11.8 was fast enough to get
the win for Robert Mathis of
Mart. Placing second was Chris
Demases of Boyd with his time
of 17.7 Rounding out the top
Professional Rodeo Cowboy As-
sociation performances.
In the first event of the night,
bareback riding, Dalton Jones of
Wharton topped the leader-
board with his score of 56, with
the only qualifying ride of the
night.
Daryl Joe Elliott posted a 4.6
to win steer wrestling, a impres-
sive time considering the condi-
tions. Placing second was Don
Payne of Stephenville with a
time of 6.1 Third place went to
Frisco’s Dean Stermer with his
standstill as people gathered to
watch the game, erupting in
cheers as Neymar clinched the
gold.
“Now the respect is back,”
said fan Guilherme Junior.
“Now we can aim high again.”

“Everybody did their job on
that play and gave 100 percent.
It’s a nice way to end a tough
outing like that,” Odorizzi said.
“They made me work tonight.

Iittrell attributed UNT’s
slow start offensively in part to
the play of its defense.
“Our defense came out really
well,” Iittrell said. “Our offense
came out flat and was abused for
awhile. We have to come out ex-
cited and ready to play. Our de-
fense was, but our offense
wasn’t.”
