  1. Coffey was super off but she never touched the ball I don't think. Rodman was definitely on. I'm not real clear on that the rule is there.
  2. At least we're pretty consistently putting it on frame. And there it is like 5 seconds after I post
  3. Kind of a rough draw for us in the knockouts. We're going to get Spain or (more likely) Japan/Brazil.
  4. Ukrainian dude's hairline looks like my middle aged dome. I bet our abs are about the same, too.
  5. I don't love the way that NBC (or the Olympic feed) shows the scoreboard for gymnastics. It's pretty meaningless to show the total scores in real time because some people haven't finished their rotation yet. My kids were confused last night when scrub ass countries like Romania kept jumping "in front" of the USA. They should show average score instead.
  6. Men's all around on now. Don't think our guys are favored to medal but favorites keep making mistakes so you never know. As I type Juda kinda fucks up his vault.
  7. No offense to anyone but Judo is kinda boring. Just two people trying to grab each other. Then they occasionally fall on the floor and lay there for a minute.
  8. I don’t like how the rewind/ff doesn’t have any sort of preview. If you want to go back a few minutes to rewatch something you’re just shooting totally blind.
  9. Watching Simone kinda reminds me of watching peak Serena Williams. She’s just playing a fundamentally different sport out there than the rest of the competitors. The sport has evolved but there’s only one person at the new level right now.
  10. How the fuck does Peacock not have the gymnastics medal ceremony? My kids wanted to watch it
  11. Incredible save to preserve the clean sheet
  12. That was some fucking Manny Diaz-level tackling by Australia
  13. Paredes makes it 3-0 with an absolute blast
  14. This fencing gold medal match is wild. Tied 14-14 (they go to 15). Twice they hit each other at the same time and the ref had to go to the replay. Both times he said it was simultaneous. On the 3rd try the Hong Kong guy wins but the Italian coach is pissed. Very dramatic.
  15. It looks like grown women playing a middle school team
  16. German goal. Naeher could’ve done better. Caught flat footed.
  17. Watching the game because I missed it live. Just saw our first goal. Very pretty. Clinical. I need someone to explain Lindsey Horan to me. I don’t think she’s world class at all. Also slow as molasses. Midfield in general is a weakness of this group. Our attacking trio of Smith, Swanson, and Rodman is lethal. Defense is fine with Girma cleaning up messes and I like what I’ve seen from Fox. Midfield is a fucking nothingburger though.
  18. Definitely the best thread for this. Good job guys.
  19. This surfing seems kinda boring so far. Just watching dudes sitting there waiting for a good wave.
  20. My friend at work is a pretty big surfer and he was saying this is one of the best waves in the world, maybe the best. Although he did say it's a little late in the season. I'm pretty excited for the surfing as well although it may be tough for us laymen to really tell if surfer A is better than surfer B. Looks like nothing on the schedule today except the opening ceremony. Live at 12:30, replay at 6:30 in prime time.
  21. Love the pitch to Terry. We see you as kind of like a combination of Vince Young, Bijan Robinson, Xavier Worthy, Jermichael Finley, Derrick Johnson, and actually Kevin Durant. But better of course.
  22. Pretty poor result against an overmatched 10-woman Zambia, TBH. Announcers were whistling past the graveyard but the truth is that we could have and should have dropped about 8 goals on that opponent.
  23. This second half has been very World Cup-esque. A lot of fucking around, not much in the way of chances created.
  24. We kinda took our foot off the gas after the red card. Just not nearly as assertive pushing the ball forward through the midfield. This is group stage play, we need to run it up if we can.
  25. Unpopular opinion but I'm kinda over these long VAR reviews. Sure correct calls matter but watching a ref watching a little bitty screen is boring TV. lol wow a red?
