Our Icelandic runner in the marathon finished 42nd. Good for him. Only started running marathons less than a year ago.
London 2012 Olympic Competition
- Thread starter mariachi-19
- Start date
Quite a few empty seats. cnuts who didn't turn up, I really wanted to see the basketball.
Looks like Spain really got a good chance of winning this game.
James hasn't stepped up yet and even Kobe has been a bit anonymous so far.
Pau and Howard next season will be a real nightmare for most teams to deal with next season.

Incompetent fecking refs. Not a kick. It has to be intentional.
Then that foul on Love...the hand = the ball. No way it's a foul. fecking cnuts.

Yeah complete joke, no idea what these idiots are doing.
Touch a Spain player -> Foul. Mug a US player -> no call.US team missing a lot of easy points today.
Williams and Paul also look a bit useless today I have to say.

Brilliant quarter. US look a bit tired today.
We really could use a fully healthy Westbrook.
Well that last action from Williams pretty much summed up his performance today.
No foul on that...
Rudy's a bit of a tit.
Gasols have to come back in, can't get too far behind.

How was that not a flagrant foul from Rudy?
You think they'll call something on Spain? International ball has lots of those blocks 50 feet from the basket. It should be an intentional foul to stop play like that.You can scratch that "bit" part. Looks like he is the Busquets of Basketball, just without the skills.
And mouthing of like a little bitch. Disgusting player.
Fouling like that to break up a fast break should have more of a penalty.
the talking heads doing the game here in the states - collins is good the other guys shit. "lebron on the bench who do the us have handle the ball?"
well nimrod , kobi - paul , durrant are on the floor. what a dunce.
refs want to get on TV - call fouls!

How the feck is that a foul? Love touched him.
Gasol's played hard, looking forward to him being our 4th best player next season 
I really like Pau. He is such an effective player. Maybe not the most spectacular player around but everything he does just oozes quality.Gasol's played hard, looking forward to him being our 4th best player next season
We are playing like idiots at the moment.
Bron-Bron!!
Typical cheating Spaniards when things aren't going their way.
They called a moving screen! They called a moving screen! They called a moving screen! They called a moving screen! They called a moving screen! They called a moving screen!

That should be enough for the US.
How shit are Spain from the outside? They've barely even attempted any 3's this quarter.
Well looks good for the US-team now especially since Spain could barely hit any threes this game.
I really don't like Spain's attempts to turn basketball into busquetball.
Well I think apart from Rudy there was no one who really stood out in terms of dirty play.
Gold for US. Well done.
Valiant effort from Spain but in the end the US had too much for them. Would've been interesting if Gasol had played the more minutes of the second half, could've been the difference.
I hope they don't adopt an U-23 policy in the next games, this has been a good tournament and you want to see the best players against each other, even if the US dominates.

Congratulations to the US team for winning the probably most certain of all gold medals.
Spain made it harder for them then they probably liked but overall I think a very deserved gold medal.

Caze for France with a really good ride there, particularly considering how the horse coped with the obstacles for the Mexican in the first round.
The British now out of medal contention unfortunately.

No they aren't. Sam Murray starts eight seconds back, which is the exact same position Mhairi Spence was in when she won Gold at the World Championship.
I wonder when some nation can take the gold off USA in basketball.
Ah, the human dressage.
True enough. With the TV barely a foot away from my face i should have seen that.
It would be great if we did medal as the women have done so in every Olympics where the MP has featured.
The random nature and lack of time to become associated with the horse adds such jeopardy. Did you hear about the Italian i thin it was, who has a fear of horses? Pleased when she made it round.
This pentathlon is a mental way to finish the Olympics
Silver!!!!
Yes! Great silver.
