France were not at their best against USA in the football last night but I’d expect them to be the likely winners. I’ve taken the 9/4

Wow watching the handball on Eurosport
What a game this is between Netherlands and AngolaCharles Darwin to conquer the World
I can’t claim to know much about this handball lark but the Brazilian keeper is sensational

I’m taking a chance on Japan at 10/1. Every time I see them they seem
to be getting better. Their fitness is extraordinary, they seem to be able
to run for 90 minutes. A bit like myself I suppose
Nathan when I was at 2nd secondary school I played in goal for my school Handball team. I was like Lev Yashin they could not score past me.

No tennis bets because expect odds on favourites to win
I might do track and field bets
Olympic Golf: Ludvig Aberg, 11/1. He clearly has the ability and maybe the Olympic tournament being free of the Major Championship label will help.
Absolutely love the Olympics. The athletics is always the highlight for me but also enjoy the stuff you don’t see on TV very often. Looking forward to becoming a sudden ‘expert’ in something while cheering on a Brit I’ve never heard of
Couldn’t care less about the football and not that bothered about tennis or golf either. We get enough of those the rest of the year.

First moan about the coverage, there are probably a dozen sports going on and still we have to endure endless studio chatter. I have switched to Eurosport and even they are at it.
I believe the BBC is restricted in how much it can show live due to the Discovery Channel/Eurosport being the main rights holder.
At least there has already been one good result at the Olympics. The opening ceremony was a farce, Macron was made to look like an out of touch fool and plenty of self important people got drenched.
Taking the knee. Has anyone noticed that in the swimming, all the USA
swimmers when they are standing before the race, they put one leg up
on the starting blocks. I can only think this is their way of “taking
the knee”.I understood it at the time, it was a good response, but I think that the
olympics should be free of political stands. I was quite disappointed.Cork…. Macron is a complete tool
I won’t go into the politics as not to bore anyone but Geeeez he’s a ****Charles Darwin to conquer the World
Thought the opening ceremony was spectacular, incredibly ambitious and imaginative; shame about the rain but c’est la vie
‘I believe the BBC is restricted in how much it can show live due to the Discovery Channel/Eurosport being the main rights holder.’
Yes I’ve seen the BBC’s explanation of their rights, still not sure if they can choose anything as long as they don’t have too much at the same time or if it’s pre-determined as to what they have. No excusing Eurosport, although I suppose they need to make the extra subscription worth it by not giving away too much.
I see that Eurosport’s swimming commentator has got himself in hot water (ba-dum-tsh) over a sexist comment and been dropped. Not the worst thing he could have said but there was simply no need.
I ended up seeing the end of the Murray/Evans match against Japan. Whatever I may think about tennis being there, I have to say that was brilliant.
“I see that Eurosport’s swimming commentator has got himself in hot water (ba-dum-tsh) over a sexist comment and been dropped. Not the worst thing he could have said but there was simply no need.”
This story did put me in mind of some of the comments on the Dujardin thread.
The remark the commentator made was silly. But does he really deserve to be dropped? As far as I am concerned, he should be given the chance to say sorry and then get on with his job.
