argentina-nigeria futbol. don't ask me why nbc is showing cuba-china vball instead. watching spanish channel.



its cool telemundo is showing it and you can watch it with the amazing Spanish commentators. Even if you don't understand them the commentary is still ten times better than whatever NBC would have.

Absolute bullshit in the taekwondo. The British girl cleary hit the Chinese in the head but she didn't get the points for it and the Chinese girl won.

Bloody outrageous!

Pure murder. 34-27 even with TWO players sent out the last three minutes! Handball: most underrated sport of the tourney. A consistently tense, nervous energy similar to basketball.

Drama in the Taekwondo. Justice has been done and the decision in the GB vs China match up has been reversed.

It's crazy that the olympics brings together the worlds best athletes yet in this event seem to have the worlds worst officials. That chinese girl literally got rocked with a heel to the face. :lol

While Stevenson is out our Norwegian lass Solheim is through to the finals. This could (should) be our best day yet, what with one gold down, gold possibilities in taekwondo, in javelin throw AND in canoe.

Well, the medal ceremony for the 4x100m women is happening now, and I'm happy every time Russia is on the 1st place so that I can hear this amazing anthem. If there's anyone from Russia here, I want to let you know that your anthem kicks ass. Beautiful.

Taekwondo's reffing has been all over the place. I don't think it's necessarily favouritism; I think it's incompetence.

I was watching some matches the other day and the point attribution seemed so random..it might be just my lack of knowledge of the sport, but they really should come up with a different way to judge these fights. Sensitive pads, something.

what the fuck did Cuba do to piss off the judges?

# But striking officials turned that sympathy into something else
# Interestingly Matos had the sympathy of the crowd when the decision to dq him was made
# It is important for us to remember that we cannot always help what happens to us, but we can ALWAYS control how we respond
# That is a heavy price to pay for a momentary outburst
# Sanctions are levied against CUB - permanent exclusion of coach and Matos from all wtf events and all of his records from the Beijing Games are being deleted
# It appears we're going to get some clarity

wtf

I think it's amazing how right Michael Johnson is consistently. He said it was a mistake to make the 400m champion start the first leg because it gives the other teams something to chase early. Great race though I thought the russian was going to take it, but Sanya really fought hard this time.

Everytime I watch boxing here it just annoys me. This cuban guy has thrown so many punches that have landed and still got about 2 points for them...


Also why are boxers allowed to waste time by hugging the opponent?

:lol mlb heads: you all should be watching the Cuba-Korea game right now.

It's awesome. Cuba has paid off the home plate ump. I hate Korea, so this is awesome.
