coda Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Track & field starting tomorrow. I'd think Ennis and Farah are the main hopes. Not sure about Greene and Idowu has gone AWOL. Don't know about the others to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jezza Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Good to see Team GB powering up the medal table. Has shut the gobs of a few Aussie media pundits over here - particularly a First-Class W*nker here called Eddie McGuire. #PrizeD*ickhead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie McGuire, Ray Warren, Ray Hadley, Paul Vautin, all bellends... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briggaman Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Very close there in the basketball. At least they gave it a go and came close at the end. We really need more money invested into basketball (and other sports) in this country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really need more money invested into basketball (and other sports) in this country. Yes - thought they gave it a really good go...no idea why they didn't foul at the end though. Schoolboy error!

briggaman Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 It certainly was a schoolboy error, yet to come within one point of the second ranked team in the world is pretty impressive. It could so easily have been a win if they were smarter near the end though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briggaman Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Odd. We're in a 'lucky losers' match in the women's beach volleyball and can still go through if we win... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briggaman Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Switching over to the USA men's basketball. Nice end to a great day of sport. Obviously it will be a clear USA win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted August 2, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted August 2, 2012 Hindes has just said in the post interviews that he deliberately fell off in the heat after the start because he didn't feel he'd started well and wanted to get a restart. Interesting, given the thread of conversation for the past couple of days He was joking. As he said it his team mates were laughing but then looked as I felt - 'What if people watching don't get the joke?' :shock: It certainly didn't seem like he was joking. I saw Hoy smiling, but it seemed to me like he was nervously laughing it up whilst thinking "shut the **** up" I don't care. We won. But I don't think he was joking.

briggaman Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Nigeria are bloody dire at basketball. I know USA are the best in the world, yet the final scoreline was just unreal. It was like a training game for USA. Anyway, the final score was 156-73. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voinjama Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Went to watch the basketball between Argentina v Tunisia and Brazil Russia. The Brazil Russia was a high quality classic. Russia were 2 points behind with only 4 seconds left and then scored a 3 pointer. It was just incredible. The whole olympic park is amazing, met 400 metre runner Sanya Richards who has an incredible body. Also ate next to the Trinidad sprint Olympic team. All in all a great day, and I have definitely got the Olympic bug. A big :x to all those who dont like the Olympics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voinjama Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Incidentally the basketball tickets were £95 each. In that package you get 2 games and of course full access to the incredible olympic park. And you may meet a minor celebrity or two while you are there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
