Amazing comeback from Summer McIntosh in the 200m medley to win another gold and break the Olympic record. She was behind with abut 25m to go then turned on the afterburners. But like Femke Bol (the Dutch sprinter mentioned above in athletics). Amazing night this is.

Great swim by Milak for gold.

Christ, the running by the final girl in the mixed 4 times 400 m relay in the athletics. Netherlands. She was about 12 metres behind when the baton was passed and won it at the end lol.

Yeah I was gonna say that, I would have Garnacho on the left over Rashy. Some United fans think Garnacho is better on the right, but I think that's a temporary thing as he is tempted to always come inside and shoot on the left. As he gets more mature and smarter he should become better on the left.

I'd likely play Amad on the right over Garnacho, I think he's better technically, though Garnacho is younger and has more credit in the bank. However, yeah I would go along with most of that. Fernandes creates chances but he hampers the way they play because he isn't able to control games and...

swimming finals tonight (penultimate night) as well as women's 100m athletics, semi-finals and final. Should be good. I watched Hearts-Rangers then spent some time doing dishes, tidying kitchen and living room etc, so I am looking forward to tonight's Olympics. Then if I can stay awake watch...

I normally agree with you on football soul24rage, but I don't rate the majority of those players in the slightest. And even if they are good, they never seem to play cohesive football anyway. They're just a collection of players thrown together and nobody has been able to coach them, including...

We'll see mate. To me their two most technically gifted players are Lisandro and Amad. Though the former is prone to the odd mistake. They need more players like that and less like McTominay, Wank Bissaka, Casemiro, Lindelof, Maguire, Onana etc. I think they'll struggle again but we will see.

This girl is beautiful too, but apparently 1.97 m tall

As beautiful as Margot Robbie and even more beautiful than Scarlett Johansson, in my very honest opinion.

Think it's just the pic. Nice smile here. More pics of 12 - very beautiful...

I feel bad saying that. She's doubtless a great girl, and to be fair I bet she's very pretty in person. It's probably just the angle of the pic.

Numbers 23 and 12 are my favourite faces in that photo. They're all quite cute though. Number 11 looks a bit like Mesut Ozil but maybe just the photo.

First goal was a penalty too, which I believe he dived for. Free-kick was beautiful. It's been 6 years now so will take your word for it on his general play. I think you know deep down though that a comment like 'top 3 international performance ever' is silly though, even without the context of...

True, I didn't really follow La Liga last season, was just making a general comment. That's true as well - Xavi was all over the place, so if Flick can do the right things and instill some confidence and some good mentality, then Barca can win the league. You're entirely right that leagues...

Yeah Barca style dominates leagues whereas RM 'moments' style is good for hanging on in knockout games. Whether that's true of these squads still I am not sure. But it's been a general rule in the last two decades. If I was betting my house I'd still say Real Madrid will win La Liga, but I...

Amad looks talented and always has to me. Still, they're getting carried away again and hyping him up like he's gonna be a superstar. But I would say to his credit that he looks their most composed and technically gifted attacker (and a diver), though I need to see more of Zirkzee too. His goal...

He's looked a good talent when I have seen him - which is admittedly not much. He has a lot of energy, seems a decent link-up player and can burst into the box to score. Whether he's good enough long-term for Barca (especially as you have plenty of players in his position) I have no idea as...

Very good post but especially the bold. Players have peaks and troughs and circumstances matter greatly. Players from the big western European nations for example will always have great advantages in terms of facilities, coming through their home league etc. Players from Eastern Europe...

I wouldn't really call Ronaldo feminine. He looks like a grown man, he doesn't look particularly young or boyish, he's just very metrosexual in his behaviour and actively goes out of his way to look flamboyant with his clothing. He could very easily position himself as masculine if he wanted...
