Still recovering from my operation, I have a lot of time to watch the games
What surprises me most, are the bad results for German swimmers so far
What the hell has gone wrong overthere? I heard some stories about swimsuits made by Adidas, but I guess that’s just a pretext
Or maybe not, I’m not an expert
Holland is doing well in judo so far
I have done a little judo in my youth, so I still know the rules
If you don’t, I think it’s not the most spectacular sport to watch
Belgium is going to qualify for the next round in football (Holland too, maybe): Belgium has a lot of talented young players, so i expect a lot from them in this tournament - and in the future as well
Problem is (for this tournament) that Kompany has gone back to Hamburg, and (for the future) they’re in one qualification group with Spain and Turkey for the World Cup.
Been trying to watch when I can. Funny how I(and I guess everyone watching) can get into sports I don’t normally care about(as a fan) such as; badminton, sand volleyball, water polo, diving, swimming, etc. But every 4 years I’m a fan of all of these events. Love the summer Olympics, especially track and field. I’ll be totally glued to the set when the running events start.
So the little girl who sung didn’t really sing because the owner of the voice was thought to be too ugly, half the fireworks were cgi and fake fans were put in the crowds for unpopular events to pad them out to look full.

You’re right about the swimmers, they did disappoint. Well, I think it’s not about the swimsuits… Michael Phelps doesn’t have one… Must be something else making him soo fast ???
Don’t get me wrong, I love the games but I hate doping 'cause that along with the money does not only destroy the athletes but the sport itself !!!

Mayby doping? For me he is too good to be real, that's all. Long time ago I lost my faith in the professional sport. In place of "Chariots of Fire" we've got "Chariots of Drugs". I'm sure that Chinese sportsmans take undetectable steroids, just like in former times people from CCCP or east side of Deutschland. It's sucks!

Only swimmers? Well, you are lucky. Entire Polish crew hasn’t got any medal so far. Non! Even newspapers in summary of the oplimpic day write “today loosers are…”
Does anybody know how deep the pool is that they play water polo in? If its more than say, 6 feet deep, my hats off to those dudes. If I was out there for more than 5 minutes in deep water, to hell with trying to score, I’d just try to keep from drowning! Who came up with that freakin’ sport?! Those guys need floaties or something…
Finally the track and field has started! All three of the U.S. 100 meter sprinters qualified for the second round. Jamaica qualified two men for the second round.
I look at those Bud Spencer swimming pictures above and then I watch a Trinity movie and I can’t believe he’s the same guy. Hey Bud, can you say ‘Slimfast?’
Watched some non football stuff, not really interested though. Seen approx. 2 hours total of the Dutch football team. Not good. Yet I’m looking ofrward to the Argentia game, especially knowing the Dutch need to ‘grow’ in tournaments. If they start performing A+ right away they’re pretty much doomed. In other words, in my view they’ll stand a pretty good chance against the Argentinians. Makaay was pretty much wasted. A real fuck up to let him play knowing he might be injured. Sibon is a great surprise so far.
A final Belgium - Holland would be great (if a bit of a problem for me: which one of the two will I support?), but I don’t think Holland will beat Argentina (and then Brazil in the semis)
