LET'S DO THIS ONE TIME USAAAAAAAAA
who wants to lay me 4:5 even odds that China wins more medals than the United States?
I.E. my $40 to your $50 and you get the U.S.
Side note, I watched badminton earlier today, that shit is badass. Brazil vs. N. Korea in woman's soccer, not so much.

I like the beach volleyball, mens and womens.
I was watching a bit of soccer, and i seriously dont understand how all the euros can watch it. I was bored after 5 seconds.
Does that link i gave work for you Spenda??? I heaard it doesnt work for euros so i wondered about the States. If it does you can watch multible events at the same time and weed out the suck.
EDIT: boxing is the best part of the summer olympics imo.

Womens beach volleyball was pretty awesome.
The womens team of Youngs and Branough won't go too far, but it was a fun game to watch against the Netherlanders.

The older I get, the more I start wondering; Just what in the hell is going on here?

Boxing has been pretty good and will get better tomorrow.
Scoring system blows though and it tilts me pretty hard.
Adam Trupish fights late night tonight at like 3am i think (could be wrong though) for any Candians that want to watch our 1 man boxing team.
Team USA looks pretty sick. Cant wait to see them.

I'm probably a huge homofag for saying this, but the opening ceremonies were fucking kick-ass-awesome.
I watched some handball today and it was cool, a chick took off from the "three point line" and threw a shot towards goal......hit the bitch right in the face and knocked her (out?) down.
Go USA Basketball, may the Lebrons be with you.
P.S. Spenda your bet sucks, everyone knows that China has like 15 billion people so they have like 1.2 million that qualified for the Olympics of course a bunch of those mofos are going to win medals, just by sheer numbers. (yes, 1.2 million Olympians from China is an accurate number)

Phelps is so sick good.
The other kid from the US really thought he had a chance to compete with Michael and he got blown the fuck out by 5 seconds on his way to the bronze.

Just watched Field Hockey, what a fucking joke of a sport.
You cannot score from outside the 16yard scoring circle, this is ridiculous, that's like saying you can't make a goal in soccer from outside the box. Also, the rules just suck, the game gets stopped a ton because someone made contact with somebody or the ball was hit with something besides the stick.
Dumb sport, all the girls had great legs though.

Is this still open? I haven't watched any olympics so if America are already kicking ass, or the chinese are all over America - please let me know - but if it's fairly even... Then I'd love to take your bet, it would give me some interest in the olympics.
Reply to let me know if I have your bet! Cheers

WTF Men's Soccer, god dammit blow a lead in the last 30 seconds because of two bonehead plays.
Also, could have put it away in the 89th minute but we blew an easy chance.
Question for the soccer players here, when can the goalie pick the ball up when it is played from one of his own teammates? A player from the Netherlands headed a ball back and their goaltender handled the ball, usually thought they could not do that.

Yeah the exception is when it's headed back, then the keeper is allowed to handle.

actually as long as it's not passed back to the keeper with any part of the leg/foot the keeper can pick the ball up. If it is headed/chested/shoulderred/backed to the keeper, the keeper is allowed to pick it up.

keeper is also allowed to pick it up when the ball was passed back inadvertently, i.e. the ball was struck against him by the opposition or he made a last ditch tackle and the ball rolls back to the keeper etc.
