Cristiane, a symbol of the Brazilian national team but who was not called up for the Games, has lashed out at the Seleçao’s condescension in Swanson’s goal
Brazil defender Tarziane outplayed by Swanson
The defeat of Brazil in view of USA in the final of the Olympics It was to be expected. But the South American team fell by the narrowest of margins and only one goal separated them from what could have been Olympic gold. However, there are those who criticise the attitude of the Seleçao in the match against the five-time world champions.
Flamengo’s 39-year-old forward Cristiane, who was left out of the squad for the Games, was very clear about how she viewed the goal scored by the American international for Chicago Red Stars. She saw defensive complacency in the goal and specifically pointed to young centre-back Tarziane (Corinthians), who relaxed in the play by calling offside.
