The 3 plays from the Rio Olympics everybody will be talking about today
Good morning! Here are the plays everybody will be talking about on Monday:
Team USA finally gets their act together and easily wins gold. The United States beat Serbia 96-66 in a game that didn't even feel that close. After stumbling their way through the preliminary round, Team USA turned up the defense in the knockout stages. The big highlight of the gold medal match? The celebration.
Red, white, and ball so hard.

Mongolian wrestling coaches lose their minds and their clothes. Mongolia's Ganzorigiin Mandakhnaran appeared to have won the bronze medal in 65-kilogram freestyle-wrestling. However, he started celebrating too early and was penalized, costing him the match.

Neymar with the biggest kick of the year. Brazil may have disappointed during the World Cup on their home soil in 2014, but they made up for a small part of that this weekend when they won the Olympic gold medal in men's soccer on their home soil. The winning kick came off the foot of Neymar in penalty kicks and the gold was theirs.
And the crowd erupts.
One of the most important goals in #BRA's history came from @neymajr https://t.co/3nZ10QtWAW https://t.co/oqve0vuTtY
