You won't get it..

I'm looking forward to the next.. Where is it?
 
Another of our boxers in a final..thats two today!!

we have been brilliant in the ring this year!👍

Goodnight everyone!:)
 
Evans in the final. :D

Great performance to beat the world number 1. He showed some great movement and speed. Have to fancy him for gold now.
 
So Brazil 2014 World Cup, Rio 2016 Olympics..

There gonna be busy :)
 
Those girls were amazing. I knew it'd be tough to beat them, and I even had a feeling the WR would be broken, but I never thought it would be by that much. 6 tenths of a second. Amazing. We did well, but we were outrun today. Congratulations, America.

The men looked really quick, too. I feel that they have a chance of taking it from us.
 
I think we need to congratulate Croatia waterpolo team for placing in the finals. They really did deserved it (goalkeeper Pavic, Jokovic, Boskovic, Sukno, Buslje, Hinic, Barac...). I admire them how they played against USA, the USA team did not score the goal for 18 minutes!! Same with Montenegro in the semifinals, but 16 minutes!! They are gonna play against the Italians. Almost sure Croatia wins...
 
Really enjoyed the montain biking and well done to Annie Last for finishing a solid 8th place!👍

WOW Mexico just scored v Brazil in the mens footie final after just 38 seconds!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hah, wow. That definitely took me by surprise!

We've beaten Brazil a few times in our football history. I hope this will be the case too, though I doubt it. They're the football giants for a reason.

There's much at stake for Mexico in this match. This would be our first ever medal in football, and getting a gold would be just... awesome.
 
In other news:

It was only a matter of time that the battle of the gold post boxes would kick off. It's been brewing here for a few days :lol:

Ben Ainslie: Lymington gold post box painter arrested

I knew of two others planning to do the exact same thing.

I read in another article that the police were watching him on CCTV painting the box. I guess they were busy because they only turned up just as he finished the job.
 
Does anyone know if that mexico goal is the quickest ever in olympic football? im trying to find out but im not getting anywhere!

I agree!!

That Brazil team is world class!!

They don't look it at the moment. Really poor, Rafael in particular. They did improve slightly towards the end but it was still far too sloppy for a football team looking for their first football gold.
 
So i asked about 10 mins ago if the Mexico goal is the quickest in olympic football history..and Jonathan Pearce has just said that it is!! at 28 seconds!!
 
I can't believe the Olympics will be over tomorrow, it's become the norm, and I think everyone will miss it when it goes. What will we watch on TV, what will we talk about? :lol:

Personally I'm glad they will be over. It's the only thing people talk about and the only thing on TV at all times. It's overwhelming.

If I heard him right, he said it was the quickest in an Olympic final.
 
I hope the Brazil manager isn't fired just because of not winning gold, as I read somewhere.
 
Is this the last Olympic men's soccer tournament? I hadn't heard this before.
