RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Coach Silvia Neid's final match as coach of Germany will be for the gold medal at the Rio Games.
Quite a way to cap an illustrious coaching career.
"What could be nicer than to have your last game with your team here, as a team coach playing for the gold medal in this fantastic stadium," Neid said. "There is nothing nicer that I could imagine."
Germany faces Sweden on Friday at Rio's legendary Maracana Stadium in the Olympic women's soccer final. Canada plays host Brazil for the bronze in Sao Paulo.
