I don't follow the sport, but I was expecting him to stay in goal and let a defender go for the attacker; it looked like a moment of temporary insanity. And it's a bit dangerous for a field player to try to save a shot without the protective gear, no?
The player (Bakker) that eventually scored the goal should have been defended by that Korean guy in the back, guess he wasn't paying attention to his keeper leaving the goal in the heat of the attack. The keeper made that move because there wasn't really a chance for the Dutch players to try and score from a distance with a hard shot. Miscommunication I guess
The win for The Netherlands is a fact though. On to the semi's.

I see; thanks for the explanation!
Hockey game's finished, just in time to check some Track Cycling!
It's schedule for 17:57 today.
Keirin's finale is tonight right? But first the series in an hour or so I believe.
The first round is going on right now.

lol at the forward roll
Anyone played that Google doodle by the way?
That was funny; Google has been making these for different sports everyday?

The history of all previous doodle's. The previous ones were only art, this is the first playable doodle I know of.
They had a interactive synthesizer once. Pretty sure of it.
I mean Olympic ones. They had more playable doodle's in the past
I remember guitar strings which you also could record.
EDIT

This one, Les Paul's B-day.
They had several interactive (Pac-man, Turing machine come to mind), but for the Olympics this seems to be the first one.

No wonder US track & Field is in such poor shape, one of the pundits on the BBC pointed out the other day that the majority of them are having to survive on less than $15k (£9k) a year..holding down jobs, and pretty much on their own with training.

Didn't Bauge get banned for doping?
All year?Not really no, only at the olympics, British were very poor before the Olympics.

From Wikipedia:
In January 2012 it was announced that Baugé had received a backdated 12 month suspension for missing doping tests. This meant that all his results for 2011 were nullified. This elevated Britain's Jason Kenny to gold medal position in the Sprint event at the 2011 World Championships, as well as giving the German Team Sprint team the gold medal in the same meet.
The British were not all "very poor" before the Olympics. Don't start spreading misinformation. The IOC also carefully investigated and cleared Team GB after their gold medal haul in the 2008 Olympics so Bauge is just being a sore loser.

Was Liu Kang the favourite?
So he was never caught doping.

No surprise really, they would've scheduled/tailored all their training around peaking for the olympics.
Apparently, in Japan over $15bn a year is spent gambling on Keirin races! That's quite a bit...

Bite me. They are the best.
Now sailing, equestrian, and shooting can go. Sorry...not sports any more than NASCAR.
I don't agree with sailing. Very much of a sport if you ask me. Very tactical and demands a great physique as well.
NASCAR's an amazing form of motorsport. People just dismiss it because it's popular with 'Mericans.

He took that backdated suspension rather than be considered a cheat for his entire career. What an honourable man.

OK, thanks, so he only avoided getting caught then. Not sure why they would backdate a ban and strip him of his medals, rather than tell him he's banned for the next 12 months.
