oh dear, are we rubbish at this too?

Yes but that was kind of harsh. I felt we were better than Algeria but on numerous occasions calls went against us and although they might have been fair, it's gutting to keep thinking you've got a point only to find out you don't and instead Algeria do.

Think we're crap at both. They keep saying it's because our teams have been drawn up from scratch for the Olympics but all the others have experience.

Giving a good account of themselves this match though so far. Most alluring sport as well.

I don't think either GB or Algeria have any chance of getting out of the group. They were both swatted aside in their opening game and out of the six teams in each group I think only 2 get out. Might be 3 though I'm not sure.

I think its the top 4 in each group that go through but that might be the mens

You could be right. Russia certainly look good as do Japan and Italy.

i like how quickly they turn around points, even with time outs its alot quicker than tennis

I hope so! Might have a chance if they can topple Algeria.

Aye. I thought Italy especially looked ace.

It's really great when they both get to the 24/25 mark at the same time. It's like tennis as they have to open up a 2 point gap to take the set and one game the other day went on for ages.

Is this the Algeria match thread lads?

 

[bluebottle]

Still think they could turn this around, it's not as though Algeria are dominating, GB seem to have got up a head of steam because I muted it.

 

[neil999]

surely we've got this set now
