Olympics Thread

We're on the rack a bit, GB pressing us hard

2-2half time. I'm tired just watching

<p>The blue pitch is dreadful on the eyes</p>

Natalie Rooney, our trap shooting silver medallist had never made the podium at comm games and was controversially omitted from the 2012 Olympic team, good on her

We are playing USA. <br>
I think the session starts at that time but we are the last game and scheduled to start 1 hour later.

<p>We are at 9:30. First two quarters all ready down.</p>

<p>They are running a bit late, it seems.</p>

<p>A few errors early on from the Black Ferns.</p>

<p>Forced to watch this on the BBC....with Woodward :(</p>

<p>Try on the hooter. We finally kept the ball and Woodman got on the outside.</p>

Woodman has gas. How high are the yanks ranked?

<p>They came 6th in the World Series.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Some bad tactics from teams in the women's game.</p>

<p>Down to 6 women now. We haven't played well at all.</p>

<p>drew with the Aussies didn't they?</p>

Score and time?

<p>Through to the semis 5-0. Bad performance though.</p>

<p>That was too close for comfort.</p>

I'll take a bad win. Yanks drew with Aus so not too shabby.

Far from convincing but a win is a win. Great courage and desperation on defence during the last couple of minutes but we made too many errors. Flush the dunny and move on

<p>A win's a win. If the USA drew with Oz, then I think this was a good result. They'll need to play much better in the semis though.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The semi-final v Great Britain is tomorrow morning at 6.00am NZT.</p>

<p>Poor vaulter (gym version) with a nasty break, then the Ambulance crew drop his stretcher as they put him in the Ambulance!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Image in the article of the break if you are squeamish.</p>

<p>Our sevens ladies need to show better discipline. Three yellow cards in the games I've watched - and Portia was lucky not to be given one for throwing the ball away vs US - same offence as she was given one in the first game.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>McAlister and Woodman are weapons though!</p>

<p>Looks like someone has put "rigor" in a stretching machine !</p>

<p>People are such fucking dicks</p>

<p>actually, scratch that, the only thing worse then the mouth breathers who complain about this shit (people have done that forever) is the media who beat this crap up by creating "articles" that are essentially lists of twitter posts made by the demented. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Fuck Twitter, it is the single worst thing to happen to humanity since smallpox</p>

<p>I'd sign up to Twitter just to voice my moral outrage if she happened to not be hot....</p>

<p>$20 just to watch the 7s? </p>
<p> </p>
<p>It's one of those, it's only $20 (which isn't even a pub meal in some [stupid] pubs now) but I'll likely only watch the 7s anyway.</p>

<p>I hope there was outrage over his shorts too, they looked a bit shorter than the ones I wear in public, and only a little longer than her skirt.</p>

<p>Out of it how it looks like Hayley Holt and Rigor. I actually thought it was until I read the article as I was wondering how he was doing the Bloack at the same time now it is 'Live'</p>
