I know I should be happy Brazil finished first half in front of S Korea but I can't understand how the Brazilians players can be so arrogante. They should be more serious and play as it was the most important game of their lives. Instead they play casual, with a horrible defence. No wonder we never won this competition.

I'm going for the underdog Chihuahuas in the final.

Anyone see the football (soccer), womens' semis?
Congrats to USA beating Canada in extra time. One great game, and the skill levels of some of these girls is a huge leap forward from a few Olympics ago.
Maybe my Leeds United could sign Alex Morgan the winning goalscorer. She's pretty damn good and with supermodel looks.
just say futbol (: then we all know(:

I'm going for the underdog Chihuahuas in the final.Well, I'm Brazilian so I need to support our country but didn't like the match. I know we have strong attack but our defence is really poor. It's Brazil to lose and their biggest opportunity ever to win.

I didn't post anything about Olympic Games today yet. The day finish with Bolt favourite for 200m tomorrow. If someone is planning to watch the final, don't forget that it's tomorrow at 20:55.
For Team GB some medals coming on Boxing and Sailing.
For my country Brazil, we got bronze on women's beach volleyball today and it's final for men's tomorrow. For a big country like Brazil is quite disappointing to see us on the medal table.

Having been to Doncaster many times (I lived in Leeds for 10 years) I feel sorry for you, it's a horrible place.
Been to Elland Rd a fair few times for both footy and RL but only support Rhinos in Leeds I'm afraid!

It was a quiet day today. I actually started to watch gymnastics yesterday. That dutch kid was good winning the gold on the high bar.
Felt very sorry for the chinese girl who couldn't stop crying, and having to smile for the cameras with her silver medal.
No way is she 20 yrs old. More like 13. Just the immaturity of losing isn't something you'd see from an adult.

Hey Everson, it's women's final today in football. USA v Japan. I think this is a repeat of their World Cup final as well, so it could be a case of revenge for the USA.

I was in Frankfurt in the women's World Cup 2012. It was hard to get a goal against us at the end when we deserved the win but at the same time a team which wants to be champion can't switch off at the end.

It's historic on British Boxing as GB gets Gold on women's. Now it's time to see if Katie Taylor gets gold for Ireland. I thought those finals would be at night.

Anyone watching womens basketball, semi between Australia and USA? Australia finished halftime in front by 4 points. I know the difference is nothing but can anyone imagine what will happen if Australia hold the nerves and wins? It will be one of the biggest upset if happens.

I know guys I normally would watch football but it's finals for beach volleyball and Brazil is playing for gold. But before that was match for bronze medal. Latvia won the bronze and my wife is really happy as she's Latvian. It was the first medal on this Olympics. Well done!

I was watching BMX today. What a brutal sport! Almost every heat had someone falling or big crashes. Team GB did great on semis but failed to do the same on the finals. My wife will be really happy when comes back from work and finds out that Latvia won first Gold medal on the men's BMX. Well done!

Just a quick upgrade for the evening. It just finished women's 4x100m and USA just won and put New World Record. Amazing race! I think USA this Olympics are getting some gold medals that they had lost in Beijing. I think they can be top of table at the end with margin.

I was. I watched the first diving for GB but its semi on men's volleyball and Brazil was playing Italy. We won and now we play final against Russian. I'm also watching football. When I started writing Korea scored second goal.
How's going the diving Lady?

Two days left for the Olympics. Lots of finals today and tomorrow. But for those that love boxing there is a fight you can't miss. GB x Ireland for men's 56kg., Campell x Nevin, 20:45.
Also football at 15:00 where Brazil plays Mexico. I hope Brazil wins but it's a hard one.
I was posting all GB medals but it's been too many that I'm losing track. I know GB got one more Gold this morning on men's kayak. They have 3 finals on boxing so they might have more.
USA should win the race for the medals. But third place for GB is a fantastic achievement.

Before somebody say something I say that a team that can't defend deserve to lose. Well done to Mexico! Gold on men's football.

I kinda hate the Mexican fans... Grew up a Spanish fan because of my roots but being from the Caribbean we were taught to idolize Ronaldo, Romario, Roberto Carlos....so I'm really sad Brazil lost and not happy Mexico won.

They held off Brazil's rush at the end, normally I've seen Mexico falter to Brazil in the last 10 minutes of the game w/ Brazil coming out victorious. It was a great game, congrats to Mexico.

It's the end of Olympic Games. It was a fantastic time. I really enjoyed it. Thanks to my injured knee I was able to stay home all the time and watch the games as much as I could. That's the 10 ten on the medal tables. Soon it will be the closing ceremony. I'm really excited about the end. I'm also curious to know how Brazil will be introduced at the end.

I wish I could see more stuff, but every time I turned on stupid NBC last week, every time, it was water sport
S or volleyball. Snooooooze after the first couple days.
Yeah Watching water polo is boring but looks fun to play. Lol did that make sense?

Of course you made sense.
I'm sure I'd love to play water polo. I enjoyed watching a bit of water polo one day. I don't like swimming much nor diving but I did watch them. Too many woman sports on tv, not any guy sports. Well, hardly anyway.
Every single time I turned it on it was either swimming, volleyball. If I waited enough then I might get to see another sport Hutu usually just turned the channel. After a few days I just gave up. It sucked. Every single time was basically swimming.
