With everything else going wrong at Tio, may as well add idiot fans too

The brazilian ones?

Heard a lot about them booing at the Netherlands-Brazils womans handball match.
Never has a win been so satisfying.

Ouch karma hurts from time to time. Germany parking the bus. Cheering after 60 minutes because they got to shooutouts and.............lose.

Can't always win the German way.

Now hoping the men also beat them in the bronze match.

I don't mind the booing for the boxing matches. Boxing has been a joke (scoring/officiating) at the Olympics for as long as I can remember. Probably worse than the figure skating in the winter games.

Why don't they bring back some ancient sports for the Olympics, like that Mesoamerican ball game where they tried to put a ball through a hoop.

Woo US sweep of women's 100m hurdles!

[JohnBrown1917]

Thanks to shippers we got our first medal in the sprint(athletics) since 1952!


Bit of a shame its not gold, but she improved a lot over the past 2 years, so high hopes for Tokyo. Hoping for double gold!

Anyone getting tired of Brazilian fans booing matches and ceremonies?

I'm brazilian and even I'm tired of it.

It's a local football thing that people somehow thought was a good idea to bring to the olympics.

Allistair Brownlee dominated the triathlon by such a margin that he stopped to get a flag, and walked the last 10 meters over the line.

His brother came second.

Now Denmark got all the medals +1 we we're aiming for...rest is epicness

We also have our top dog Lasse Norman Hansen beating the legendary (x2) wiggins OL record...hes just that good to even top the mighty Wiggins...clearly the greatest cyclist probably ever.

And about Ryan Lochte, what are your comments about this piece of shit?

Dumb arrogant liar who absolutely deserves all the flak he's getting.

[Northern Goblin]

If it's true, it's stunning.

Vandalising is douchy enough but to LIE about being mugged? That's just really horrible.

[dvaz]

We 'Muricans. Laws dont apply to us.

Lochte has the most punchable face ever.

I honestly don't understand all the salty posts by american journals, like Times and other big sites. Every goddam time they post something bad about Brazil, talking about violence 24/7. The funny part is that here, in Brazil (I live in Rio), all americans are absolutely loving it! Some people say it's because it was supposed to be Chicago being the Olympic city. Even now, with the athletes giving their true testimony about the ''robery'', NYTimes has the audacy to say that it is a brazillian opinion and not the true fact.

One of the biggest TV channels here just made an interview there in NY with people in the street about the case with the swimmers, and almost everyone talked about the violence in the olympics and when they were told to point 1 case, they couldn't, because there isn't such a thing in the games here now. But this is the image USA journals are trying to pass to people there. And now it's really funny, that the "fact" they used to prove the violence in Brazil was created by their own athletes to hide their childish actions.

I really love the USA, I just dont accept this kind of treatment that we are getting from the sites there, when we treat every person in the world as one of our own.

I know most of you dont give a shit about football, but God Damn i'm really liking this new Brasil. Ney on the center as a true/classic #10 is A-MA-ZING. They beat the crap out of Honduras and Pinto wasn't doing a bad job with them at all, Brasil was just too good (and have been since they played againts Denmark).

People are scared of Germany, but I really think Brasil is unstoppable with Ney playing as #10. I predict a 3-1.

[Crissi]

To day was buzz are. Lochte drama and the US women's relay got to rerun their qualification because Brazil bumped into one if them, causing them to lose their baton and come in last. Sorry China but us women > you!
