Great Improvised Bike from Cristiane

Brazil’s women’s team isn’t all about Marta you know. Brilliant as the number 10 is, there are other Brazilian ladies with ball skills and single names. Like Cristiane for example, who scored a hat trick in Brazil’s 3-1 win over Nigeria in the final group game at the Olympics today.

Get a look at her second, above, where she flicks the ball up for herself and lobs the Nigeria keeper with an overhead kick. Class.

Brazil finished top of Group F and will play Norway in the quarters.

Complete quarterfinal lineup for the 2008 Women’s Olympic Football Tournament looks like this:

Norway vs Brazil
Sweden vs Germany
(winners play each other in semi-final 1)

China vs Japan
USA vs Canada
(winners play each other in semi-final 2)
