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

If there's anything that will cure post olympics blues, Im sure Everton will...

Is right lad, even if United snot us 3-0

I have a theory as to why we are so dominant in the cycling...............the government are so clever and forward thinking and desrerve every credit for hoiking up the cost of petrol over the last couple of years and forcing us to travel on 2 , unmotorised wheels......we shall dominate cycling for ever !! Bikes are the future.

Gonna be dull next summer, no tournament and no sporting events.

Para's will be boss though

Tour is on.
Rugby League World Cup. In GB.
And with the current high the country is on, expect to see a few channels start picking up some of the peripheral sports and qualifiers for the worlds/europeans/pan americans.
Anyway, next summer we could be basking in the reflection of some silverwear. :hopes&dreams:

That would be lovely. Not a big rugby fan, but will give it a watch. DEFO DEFO gonna watch the Tour de France next year

Pity and good for him his wife had a baby.

Without any bias, I think the 2 British boxers, Agogo and Joshua were the best in the ring tonight. Not the greatest night of boxing to be honest but still great to attend, and two great results for the British boxers.

Can't wait for Everton, but these Games have been boss, will be empty when they're over

The Olympics are great. I don't really care for most of the sports (except for swimming, athletics, cycling, and football), so for them to come around every four years and me love them so much is cool. Just makes me love sport in general. A great event and an awesome showcase for any kid wanting to find different sports to play.

It will be a long week between the closing ceremony and Man United.

The players then where quality, 100 times better than anything i expected based on watching Everton Ladies

Wait until you see US vs Japan. Japan are quality personified.

The indirect free kick was dodgy, the penalty not.

The referee was behind the play the entire match, too many fouls missed. Thought she was horrible overall.

Canada should be proud and the US should be worried about their back four in the final. If O'Reilly sits for LePelbet again I may not even watch.

Japan looked really shaky though yesterday. France battered them in the second half. Sawa hasnt hit any sort of form either.

Both matches yesterday were brilliant I thought.

Haha, cycling chief Dave Brailsford told L'equipe that the secret to our success was having round wheels. They only bought it and ran a headline saying that Classic.

Yeah, round wheels and square, growth hormone tablets.

Pfft, who needs cycle paths ?

You don't get to win a Kierin without tailing the pizza guy and jostling with wing mirrors skimming your ears and buses without indicators....... and drivers that keep forgetting we drive on the left.
