Olympic Soccer TV Schedule: Full Broadcast Info Day 5 Matchups
Men's Olympic soccer teams have only one more game each to reach the knockout stage, and fans should not miss a second of the action.
While some squads like Brazil and Japan have already clinched a spot in the quarterfinals, most teams need a win in the final game to assure that they will not be going home early.
This tournament has already produced a number of surprises. Spain, which won the most recent World Cup and last two Euro championships, lost its first two matches and is mathematically eliminated.

Key Games to Watch:
Great Britain vs. Uruguary
Host country Great Britain has been solid so far, but a draw against Senegal puts the team in danger of not advancing into the quarterfinals.
If Uruguay can defeat the British, they will advance to the quarterfinals instead. It will also leave a lot of unhappy fans looking for other sports to watch for the next week.
Egypt vs. Belarus
This is another matchup with a knockout atmosphere. Whichever team wins will advance, while the loser will go home. The difference, however, is that a draw sends Belarus to the next round.
For a team that has not had much success in the sport, the Eastern European country should be proud of what they have accomplished in this competition.
Japan vs. Honduras
It is likely both these teams advance to the next round, but this will be a battle of two of the better teams so far in this tournament.
Japan has been very impressive with shutout wins over Morocco and Spain, while Jerry Bengtson of Honduras already has scored three goals.
This battle between the two styles will make this match among the most exciting of the preliminary round.
