[Yoda]

Looking solid right now

Bring on ze Germans!

Gotta love our girls, all of them. The emotion shown by Sinclaire after the match showed what she's all about...fierce competitor, selfless leader, and nothing but class. A great example for all our young players, girls and boys alike. Such class.

Hope solo, take note.

Didn't get a chance to see all the games but Beckie seems to be playing quite well for them. Gives other teams someone else to worry about other than Sinclair

That was Page 1. I can't be bothered
Just re-affirming your point

Bronze medal in the 100m well done!!! Bolt is just to good. Looks effortless.

Great race!

Canada's female sports minister has announced that Canada will only send female athletes and de Grasse to the 2020 Olympics because our men can't win anything. Thanks to de Grasse, the Missus will have to stop asking me if our men have won any medals.

Sweden succeed in PKS again, after playing a 9-0-1 formation. Onto the Gold medal game.

So naive!

Sounds like the same formation hope solo plays when her husband is out of town.

I like Herdman's motivational skills, but FFS, whose idea was it to play hoof and hope for 70 minutes against a team that stays in its formation and plays the game with structure?

The last 15 minutes were great as the team in red finally started moving the ball like a team really playing football instead of chase, but why not play the whole game that way? They obviously know how to...

@akslop

That was awesome!

So it appears that even though their was suspicion of fixing that was going to occur in the boxing events, it appears it happened anyways.
Not surprising it's the Russians involved in it.

From the draws right to the individual matches.

An Irishman loses to a Russian in a quarterfinal match and is booed. Irishman goes on a tirade against the boxing heads.

And then another Russian in the Gold Medal bout wins and receives his medal to a crowd of boos.

How can they not sort that sport out?

I can't believe that the coaching staff allow their players to warm up in this manner. I would never allow any of my teams that I have coached to show such lack of intensity whilst on the training field.
It develops bad habits.
If you train poorly, you will play poorly.

Unless the new training pre game is only a minute long, I'd hazard a guess there's more to it than what you saw.

Could care less about the training, what I took away from that video was the AWESOME bleacher section on the side of the hill... how awesome would something like that be in these parts?

Mens 200 @ 6:30PM tonight - I think Bolt is going to crush the field but Andre will bring home the silver... does anyone REALLY believe De Grasse will pull off the major upset?
