Hi there! How are you doing? Spain will debut today(sorry folks, it is tomorrow), in a while, against China [in basketball]. I think that China, Spain and the U.S.A. will fight for the three medals. Let´s see in which order....!!! Good luck to all teams involved. Dana Torres: overwhelming.

Ahhhh yes well this whole thing is turning into a joke & not looking good for Beijing. Some very unhappy family members associated with the mens cycling. Hands up those who saw a spectator besides the rent a crowds? And its been revealed that some of the opening ceremony was faked for tv broadcasting. Australia also getting is lack of coverage in events we want to see.

The TV coverage is abyssmal. If I didn't know better I'd think the only thing so far to show is swimming, gymnastics and volleyball. ID: 796860 · |

I saw some basketball early this morning - USA vs Angola. And I saw some soccer over the weekend. Track & Field doesn't start until this weekend.  Calm Chaos Forum...Join Calm Chaos Now ID: 796914 · |

Hi there! How are you doing? Spanish basketball team has beaten this morning the Chinese team in a breathtaking 5 minutes extra time after a 72-72 result/score and finally ending the game with ten points difference: 85-75. A por ellos!

I actually stopped watching. Funny you should mention that, Domi. For the first time in years I'm finding the TV coverage boring, too. Is it the coverage? the schedule of events? the broadcasters' picks? It seems like we're seeing all these early trials and not enough main events. I can't put my finger on it, but something is BORING! ID: 797585 · |

Thanks Misfit for this post. I also saw something wrong, when I was asked a lot of info, just to view certain venues online. Pluto will always be a planet to me.  Seti Ambassador Not to late to order an Anni Shirt ID: 801532 · |

In a while, Spain will play against US basketball team and fight for the top medals.......it is the second time for Spain having qualified for the final match. The first and last time was in "Los Angeles´84". Having reached the finals is already a success, but this time [the second time during Beijing ´08] we will play again against US. A second chance.Very interesting match. Que gane el mejor.....a por ellos! Cheers!
