Women's Olympic Football - Great Britain Win Against Japan.

An impressive result for the Great Britain Women's Olympics team. 

Great Britain have defeated Japan in Sapporo, Japan.  

The game ended 1-0. 

Great Britain have now defeated Chile, and Japan in the group stages.

The next game for Great Britain is against the Canadians in the group stages.

I am hoping the Great Britain women's side win a gold medal. It will be tough to do. But I think Great Britain have the experience and quality to do so. 

The toughest team in the trophy are probably the famous USA side. 

Good luck to the GB soccer side. 

There are Welsh, Scottish, and English players, playing for the Great Britain Olympic Women's side. 

Sophie Ingle from the Welsh side is in the squad. Kim Little and Caroline Weir are from Scotland and are in the squad. 

The rest of the squad are from England. 

There are no players from Northern Ireland in the squad. 

Technically the Great Britain Olympic side represent the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, not just Great Britain. But Northern Irish people are allowed to represent the UK team or the Ireland team. So it is difficult to know if the team is called Team GB, or Team GB and Northern Ireland. 

The Great Britain Olympic side also claim to represent the following territories and dependencies; Guernsey, Jersey, Isle of Man, the Falkland Islands (Known as Islas Malvinas in Argentina), Anguilla, Gibraltar, Montserrat, the Pitcairn Islands, Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha,  the Turks and Caicos Islands.
