Lots of traffic for Canada in the 6th but Abbott escapes.  A runner was thrown out at the plate on a double and then runners were stranded on 2nd and 3rd.

I won’t be watching, but I’m pulling for all of the poor countries, any teams playing against the USWNT, anyone playing against Novak Djokovic, any hot female who may pose nude with her medal(s) in the cumming months, and Naomi Osaka.

Oh, and any Longhorns who may be competing.

Watching the ceremonies on live TV here in Japan!

It would have been nice, since there’s no audience, if all the other athletes would’ve turned and cheered when the Japanese team made their entrance. That would’ve been a fitting show of respect.

But it always makes me proud when I see the American team make their entrance. Are there any countries represented there who haven’t contributed citizens to our country? The best countries are the ones whose Olympians don’t all look alike. It’s our diversity that makes us strong.

sorry I couldn't help but notice the simple jack wigs.

Not the drones. Not the song. But the costumes.

Sorry I couldn’t help but notice the simple jackass.

Apparently I have a shitty memory because they said Imagine was performed at the last several Olympics. I’m sure I wept every time, just like today, then forgot about it because it’s not something I would expect to go over with much of the American audience.

The Kabuki dancer was cool but that pianist nailed it. At times she reminded me of John Medeski. And then we got some Queen. Then the torch lighting ceremony was really impressive. Great performance without an audience. And then that fireworks show to end It with the accelerating circles of pyrotechnics was awesome.

Well done, Tokyo.

I laughed and enjoyed the live pictograms. I thought that was light-hearted and just goofy enough to provide a good laugh

Yeah that was cool

My wife designed the Team USA opening ceremony jacket. So there’s that

That’s pretty fucking cool. Looks good. Good job, Mrs. Spankytoes. 
 

Seriously though. I understand COVID, and white elephants, and commercialization, and rampant corruption. Maybe it’s true that this shit shouldn’t even be happening. But man, I don’t give a fuuuuuuuck about all that right now. I love the Olympics. Let’s fucking do this shit. USA! USA! USA!

This is my first opening ceremony chasing a 3YO Tasmanian devil around my house. That was unwatchable. Maybe in 2024 or 8 months

Off to a good start.

This is obviously a touchy subject but they're in for a rude awakening if they start (keep?) losing. People in this country barely care about men's soccer. They only like the women because they've historically kicked so much ass.

Hard to watch Shigeo Nagashima struggle to walk with Matsui. One of the all-time great ball players. Very important figure in Japanese sports history. And it would have been nice if the NBC commentator could have figured out who was who in that deal. Oh well.

Sweden women’s soccer up 3-2 on Australia with 10+ left on NBCSN. 

USWNT had better hope that they can beat New Zealand, because if it is a draw, then Team Menopause isn’t going to make it out of the group playing their 3rd game in 6 1/2 days against a young, superior Aussie squad.

Just watched the lowlights from Argentina's 2-0 loss to Australia and saw where the ref decided he wanted to affect the outcome so he game a red card (2nd yellow) to an Argie defender for jostling in the box before a corner right before halftime.

🤌 🤌 🤌's were produced by the booked Argentine, but it was too late. No reprieve would be coming for his efforts and perfect gesticulating form.


The video is queued up to the critical Yellow->Red and 🤌 🤌 🤌's that followed.
