australians creampieing the french.. where is ben simmons though? they could have easily contended for a medal with him

just now i was at the cantina, watching olympic swimming and bicycling on the main TV. on the other TV there was futbol... a match between liverpool and barcelona. barc was getting crushed 0-3 before i had to leave.

so i have a couple questions for you, sr. messi--


1) why are you playing these regional games and not appearing in the olympics??


2) y porque tienes pelo rubio ahora...??





(y nada mas, gracias!)

1. nobody really cares about olympic football.. the under 23 rule and the national leagues starting around this time makes it harder for the good players to be there..
anyway messi has a gold with argentina from 2008 as well

2. midlife crisis coming early i guess

Bad memories of Brazil I suppose.

Nobody did it like the Chinamen in Beijing back in 2008.

They really knew how to organize and and execute an event.

Portuguese Minister of Education got robbed at knife-point near Ipanema beach. Thankfully nobody was hurt and the robber got arrested with the help of the local residents and the Military police.

Sporting achievement always seems rather closely tied to state propaganda--I don't think this is at all coincidental.

Just saw an American fencer come back vs a Shitalian from being 13-7 down. USA chants raining down in the fencing stadium. America stays dominant. One of the GOAT clutch fencing come backs of all time.

The Russian Paralympics team has been banned. Even the disabled athletes are juicing these days.
