Olympic Soccer 2016: TV Schedule, Live Stream and Sunday Match Times

All four men's groups will be back in action on Sunday, as the Olympic soccer tournament gets back underway, and tensions are already mounting at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games.

Hosts Brazil will take on Iraq in Group A, while South Africa prepare to clash against Denmark. Each of the four teams will be hoping to produce the pool's first goal after a pair of stalemates on Thursday.

Nigeria sit atop Group B.

The same can't be said of Group B, however, and Nigeria are looking to cement their status atop the pile when they face Sweden. Nigeria sit on three points after beating Japan 5-4. Manager Makoto Teguramori's men will have their chance to bounce back against Colombia.

Group C's Sunday schedule sees leaders South Korea run into Germany following their 8-0 rout of Fiji, who encounter Mexico hoping to save some face this time around.

Finally, Group D leaders Portugal are hoping to beat Honduras to pull clear at the top. Argentina will be aiming to bounce straight back from their 2-0 defeat to the front-runners in their meeting against Algeria.

The best under-23 outfits in the world will continue their hunt for Olympic medal domination on Sunday, and we provide all the schedule and viewing information ahead.

Brazil Under Pressure to Impress

With Neymar wearing the captain's armband, much was expected to hosts Brazil entering the men's tournament, especially considering the Barcelona man abstained from participating in the Copa America Centenario to feature in Rio.

However, the Selecao were extremely disappointing in their opener and struggled to find the crucial breakthrough against South Africa. Fan account Selecao Brasileira attested to the team's failure via Twitter:

Time cannot change the fact that we flopped in the opener. Right now the only option for real fans is to support the team. Next game: Iraq.

— Seleção Brasileira (@BrazilStats2) August 4, 2016

Neymar commented on the 0-0 stalemate too, which he told the media felt "like a defeat:"

For us, the draw is like a defeat. We have to win, we know our responsibility. We will stay calm and get back to work again as soon as possible, so that we play well on Sunday. 

The first game is always the most difficult, for the nerves you have before you begin to play. I don't know how many great Brazilians have played in the Olympics and not been able to win it. We know this is not easy, we cannot just show up and take home the gold medal. 

We must play our football. We found it more difficult and we must learn to overcome this.

Similarly, Iraq failed to find their incision against Denmark, meaning they shoulder a burden to improve in the next round of games, but the pressure rests firmly with Brazil in Brasilia on Sunday. 

Iraq also boast an under-23 squad packed with talents who have already clocked up good experience in the senior side, meaning they won't be the pushovers some home fans might hope for.

South Korea Under Germany's Hammer

Few would have suggested South Korea would end the first round of the soccer fixtures at the Olympics as the highest-scoring side at Rio 2016, even if it was Fiji standing opposite them on Thursday.

That being said, it was a severe lull in concentration from Fiji in the second half that led to their swift demise, as evidenced by ESPN FC's Cesar Hernandez, meaning Germany will likely pose stiffer competition:

HT: Fiji 0-1 South Korea

FT: Fiji 0-8 South Korea

Yikes.#Rio2016

Die Mannschaft, on the other hand, drew 2-2 against Mexico, and although it wasn't the win they were seeking, Grant Wahl of Sports Illustrated highlighted the result did come against a substantial under-23 power:

FT Mexico 2:2 Germany. Defending men's Olympic soccer champs start off with a point.

One thing that seems certain is South Korea won't be putting eight past their next opponents, and Germany will be adamant to squeeze out their first maximum-points haul of the tournament.

Anything more than defeat would be a massive result for the South Koreans come Sunday, when the Europeans will be hoping to stamp a belated mark on the competition.
