Official 2012 Olympic Thread - Page 2

Love the olympic games. I've always been very interested in sports so I think it's great to watch the best athletes perform at the very best. The physical and psychological aspect of the competition is just mind blowing

Brazil vs Egypt was pretty entertaining. Got to see a bit of what this Neymar character is all about. It's also fun to see a rainbow kick used in a real game.

I'm currently watching Great Britain vs. Senegal. Is this a re-run?

The link above says there's no football on July 27th, and the scores shown are ahead of what I'm watching on TV in California.

Basically, I want to watch the Mexico vs. South Korea football game, so I want to know when and where I can watch it live.

The Mexico vs. South Korea match was supposed to be played on Thursday (yesterday), but it shows a 0-0 result.

I'm confused.

Where's the confusing part?

I guess I wasn't aware/forgot that games can end in a 0-0 score. I haven't watched many football games before.

Looking forward to Women's Gymnastics and Volleyball.

Sup, Alicia Sacramento?

don't start man..

I hate opening ceremonies. The only part that makes me slightly interested is when they present the athletes. Apart from that, I ignore it.

I thought the first leg of the opening ceremony was bloody magnificent with the transformation from agrarian to industrial. Then it just got really stupid and really cheesy and lame. A tribute to NHS, wtf? Mr. Bean was awesome.

back OT going to try and watch all of soccer. need fix until world cup

I dont know if its just me, but i dont give a flying fuck about the olympics. Every sport I'd care about (besides tennis i guess) is watered down competition from being limited to a select number of entries per country. And I feel no sense of complete nationalism for USA where I root for them to win. it would be like wanting to watch WCG over a korean starleague if you didnt have any friends or rooting interests in it.

really the only things worth watching to me are tennis and swimming just to see how phelps does since i was friendly with him on stars/ftp. basketball is a bunch of one sided blowouts, baseball is worthless when all the best players are in the MLB, track and field has like 3 compelling events and they last about 90 seconds combined. and the other sports are retarded shit like this:

olympics are cool for the athleticism and skill shown in events that you don't really ever see/hear about otherwise

also the 116lb weightclass female olympic lifters can be pretty hott
