The Olympics Thread, London 2012, Games of the XXX Olympiad, 27th July - 12th August

Just wait till you get done for cheating, you cheating Brits.

Same old Bri-tish

Al-ways Chea-ting

Apparently, according to Darren Gough on Talksport, Yorkshire would be above Australia in the medal table.

Buggeration!
Just realised my footy semi tickets are only one game tomorrow. Mainly because the other semi is at Old Trafford!! Bit of a journey!!

Ah well! Japan vs Mexico for me!

Do I purchase a sombrero beforehand or dress up like Ryu from Street Fighter?

HADOUKEN!

Mate there will be lots of Japanese Girls there.

This is a fantastic match, this.

Dai Green - talk about not peaking for the Olympics.

Fourth, considering he was injured till January a surprising run.

 

[Phyllis Stein]

Not a great reaction from someone her age. Considering those that were picked broke records each round I don't know how she can argue.

It'll be misquoted, just like Froome part way through the tour. Media spin (see lies) looking to make a story.

Kirani James nailed that 400M final. 43.9.

Some good track and field there tonight.

I don't want Donovan and Dempsey anymore. I want Morgan and Rapinoe.

 

[ijjysmith]

Great tackle by Bueller.


That sounds weird.

 

[RFUS]

Well done Anthony.

why is it that when the boxers get past the quarter finals they're guaranteed a medal?

I believe its something to do with not being allowed to fight again until so many days after a defeat.

That Sanchez fella from the Dominican Republic was shedding buckets during his medal presentation and anthem. Shows how much winning a gold medal means to a small nation.

both losing semi finalists get a bronze, not sure why they don't have a bronze medal match but parkendmaster's view seems plausable.

USA are gunna win this footy on pens sadly
