GB womens hockey 1-0 up against NED at half time. Come on Twiggy you absolute nutcase! Pulling faces like that you'll scare the opposition out of the arena!

MUSC4EVEROk thanks!
Its all quiet on here right now! where is everyone?!
Well I have an early start for the next 4 days and I'm still amazed at how the judges in the women's middleweight boxing were so obviously cheating with the scoring.

Interesting, I thought Scotland had a bigger population.
Ok, this might be a stupid question but I never looked into that, why can England, Scotland, Wales, etc participate in World Cup and only GB in Olympic games?

He was MUCH better in the final than he was in the semi final! but it was always going to be an uphill battle for him..

Damn!!, missed the 400m hurdles final.. seen them streaming past in the background of the women's pole vault, couldn't switch red button quick enough.
Good to hear Dai finish 4th, unfortunate it wasn't a bronze but still well done.
Actually, in the hurdles, are those in the inside lanes at a disadvantage?... sharper direction change approaching hurdle/ smoother sweep for those in the outside lanes?

Not sure myself, but UEFA and FIFA have always recognised that Scotland, Wales, England and Northern Ireland have separate Football Associations and leagues etc., so allow them to compete separately in world football... Team GB was actually pretty controversial - the Scottish and Welsh FAs did not want it to happen, but I personally couldn't fathom what the fuss was about. That said, there were precious few Scottish players involved - but the Welsh players involved were among the best in the team (Bellamy and Giggs).
Scotland now struggle to qualify for any big tournaments, and Wales have never qualified for a major tournament - but arguably it is better to try than to be guaranteed no participation by being part of a British team that is almost exclusively English...
