O/T Olympics 2016

I know taking pleasure in failure is not an honourable trait but I must admit some considerable glee at seeing the USA women's 'soccer' team being dumped out by Sweden. Hope Solo lives close to me, she is a loathsome individual and I bet the Brazilian nation are smiling with me after her zika virus histrionics

Oh wow ouch CAMiller I can feel your hate from across the pond DAM and I thought all Americans were sweethearts with trigger happy fingers

At least she took defeat well and in a sporting manner CA.

Just about sums her up. I believe she also attempted some gamesmanship on the deciding penalty - not that I know yet here as NBC the main broadcast TV showing the Olympics here are showing things live on the East coast but with a 3 hour delay on the West

As for your comment Chris, she has a reputation of being trigger happy around her neigbourhood and is married to a 'gangsta' so I'd better watch out

Sorry to say this but the ways things seem to be panning out, USA could pack it all in now with 24 medals (8,8,8) and they would still beat GBs haul in Rio

With my history in the football prediction league it's hardly surprising that this one was way off

Nice to see we have picked up the medal pace now with the potential of quite a few more to come today.

Cracking stuff in the velodrome and in the rowing though. Been a few upsets but some good results so far.

For the youngsters on here, that is how we finished just 20 years ago at the games in Atlanta 1996. Enjoy what you are seeing because this is really a golden age for British athletics/sport.
