Brazil, which will play Colombia in the quarterfinals on Saturday in Sao Paulo, remains the main favorite to win the Olympic gold, which is the only major trophy the five-time World Cup champions haven't won in soccer. Fans chanted that "Marta was better than Neymar" several times across soccer host cities. "The effort was there in the first matches, we tried hard but the results didn't happen," Neymar said. Olympic coach Rogerio Micale, in his first high-profile job, admitted he was struggling. He showed his support, wished me luck, said he had trust in the work being done," the 47-year-old Micale said.
