I've put this thread here as I expect there will be some poop sterring .

I'll start it

Go the Boomers . Australian basketball nearly beat the American Dream team .

The Boomers lead after the 1st quarter and second quarter , America draw equal at the end of 3rd quarter and the boomers lead up until the last 2 mins 30 to end up losing buy only 10 points 98-88 will the Boomers take the gold away from the Dream team ?

3 games and only 1 loss . I guess the Dream team now know who the Boomers are and wont say next time when asked what they thought of the Boomer by saying WHO never heard of them .

But now the Dream team are whinging and saying the Boomers play dirty . Stop whinging because we nearly beat your Dream team

America nearly beat the Australian female Rugby 7's team . Final score 12 -12

I must give them some credit they where the only team up until the final game to actually score against the ozzies but alas the tactic of trying to injure the players buy tackling them very hard was never going to work it's not Grid Iron it's a game of skill . Don't play a game you don't understand :-)

In a shocking defeat the worlds number 1 female basketball team , 5 times Olympic medallist and world champions the Opals have lost to Serbia 72-71 and are now out of the Olympics . Australia is gutted they where favorites to win but alas this Olympics has thrown a few major losses this time with many of the favorites knocked out at the quarter finals .

The Olympics always throw a few curved balls. It makes them a little more interesting.

It was the US goalkeeper Hope Solo who was infuriated after the loss against Sweden and she lost her temper and called us cowards:)
Solo said. “But I also think we played a bunch of cowards. The best team did not win today.”
Hope Solo is “unlikely” to receive an official International Olympic Committee sanction over her comments describing Sweden’s women’s soccer team as “cowards.”

Heck. Football is not a beauty contest.

This for me is still "unacceptable":
http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/other-sports/transgender-brits-born-male-could-8343061

Not 'cause of the transgender itself...but 'cause of woman are not as strong as men are! So these athletes are in "ungiven born advantage" built in muscles...
Sad days for sports!
