Could be talking about any of Bobb, O'Reilly or Lewis there.

Haaland-Maguire collision - clash of the donkeys and the clumsy oafs.

Fair enough. It sounds like they were complacent and when they got serious they improved. I did hear that eastern European nations and Spain too had vastly improved in recent decades in basketball. Barca have a basketball team don't they? And other La Liga clubs. I don't know much about...

Finished club...hopefully.

I know they nearly had a surprise against Serbia (was it Serbia?), but this must be easy peasy for the US men's basketball team. Does anyone generally even come close to them?

Sounds like football too lol. Was that girl's face ok in the end?

Probably Martinez at left-back and Fernandes false 9 as showed there. Ten Hag loves 4-2-3-1. He likes a single pivot too sometimes.

Cheers, will keep an eye on him.

Gvardiol looks like he's been on a 10 day bender in that photo. Dias too. Ederson looks deformed.

Who's Nico O'Reilly?

Jeez. That looks awful. But sometimes a player will shoot and accidentally hit the face. How do you decide what is deliberate and what isn't? It can be hard to tell but I guess that's why they're qualified officials. Maybe goalies should wear cages like ice hockey players.

If you shoot into the goalkeeper's face in handball you can be sent off for 2 minutes apparently. That's what this commentator said. That seems harsh. What if you mishit it/misdirect it? Admittedly harder with hands than feet, but still.

In fact never mind, Norway are in blue LOL. Just turned it on. Not sure why Norway can't wear red (just seen it's their home colour) and France blue but ah well.

Is Norway's home kit not red in handball? If so not sure why they can't wear it against France's blue. @Birdy will be going mad about this kit crime.

True. Like you say it's propaganda for making people feel better about their lives - keeping them in their box and letting them live vicariously through athletes. If regular people didn't feel that connection there is no way any country would take sport as seriously just as a game as China...

I heard about that. I heard Germany scored two goals in 6 seconds or something (you say 14). Even if 14 how is that even possible? I can't open the video, not available in my country or something? I will mess with VPNs later to see if I can watch it. USA are powerhouse in basketball and by far...

USA were tied with China last night on gold medals. China must have won one today. That could all change after the track and field tonight too given USA's (cough PEDS cough) dominance in that sport at this Olympics.

True have to take that into account. They say the Olympics are a net negative for countries financially, but SOMETIMES the legacy they leave can't really be measured in finance. Prestige and future sporting improvement. For instance, here in the UK I am sure our performance in Olympics has...

Handball looks good. I think it was Messi983 who said handball players play as inverted wingers now, similar to footballers. Seem true. Could they play futsal on handball courts? They look eerily similar, though the dimensions may be different? They should introduce futsal or 7 a side football...

Thanks mate. I couldn't be arsed looking it up exactly.
