Footballing heavyweights battle it out at the Tokyo Olympics this summer
A total of 16 footballing nations will participate in the Summer Olympics this year, and they have been split into four groups.
Group A sees Japan, France, Mexico, and South Africa battle it out for a place in the knock-outs, with France the favorites at the moment.
