Beijing 2008

oh. poop.

Has anyone watched USA vs China? (waterpolo)
I missed the 4th and last period... the score was 10-9 at the end of the 3rd period and I dunno who turned out to win

I love waterpolo!
On british TV we only seem to broadcast swimming, diving and gymnastics

Best bet is to watch on Sopcast if you have that .

FiNlAnD's got a gold metal!!!

Yippiee!

What for?

Women's trap shooting!

Oh yeah, remember seeing the highlights now
There's more swimming today I believe.

It sucks, women's cycling we got it for

yeah but gold is gold

we could melt em down and make little figurines

At the moment we've got 1 gold medal and 1 bronze medal
However we're looking forward to get more gold medals with our basketball team (world champion) and Nadal (#1 tennis player after beating Federer)

We are as well classified in hockey, swimming and something else I can't remember
Good luck everyone, because just taking part in the Olyimpic games is something to be happy about

i think we will win atleast 5 more golds

Rowing - yes.
Windsurfing - Poss.
Relay Running - Poss.
100M - Slight Chance.
Women's Marathon - Got to.

My early predictions

yeah i agree with that

Did anyone see the discgrased Spanish B-ball team photo for a Spanish ad?
It was in the sun today, they were all pulling they're eyes back like Chinese people.

Absolutely disgusting. Of course we know the spanish always do this sort of thing.

Football against England - Booing Ashley Cole and SWP 'cos they're black.
Mocking Lewis Hamilton in F1 (even though we all hate him) because he's black.
I think the Spanish B-ball team should be thrown out with acts like that.

Of course we know the english always make a big deal out of this sorta things
As far as I know that's not a crime and nobody's gonna be put away for that

We mediterranean people (spaniards, italians, greeks, french and portuguese) have a kind of sense of humour which you guys (not just british) don't get
We are Latin and we have always been like that
We south european people don't really make out why you get so upset with this... if I were Chinese I wouldn't be pissed off! I mean, what's wrong with that? what's the big deal?

(Of course everything's got a limit, and we must distinguish between what's funny and what's not)

Now let's get back on topic

We don't hate Hamilton beacuse he is black. No, we hate him because of his arrogance, he thinks he is the king of the world...That's my oppinion. I never discriminated a man because he is black.

Neither did I. I hate him because of his arrogance
I'm really pissed with your comments Admin... I can't stand it when you think we are racists

P.S. I have always wanted to be black. The Spanish football team/basketball team/waterpolo team have black guys... but you'll carry on saying we are racists

It's hardly a sense of humour when you boo a player on the pitch because he's black.
And did you see the Spanish Catalunya testing? The fans with black faces?

Racism is NOT a sense of humour.
Plus I've had to warn you for swearing.

@Zsolti: I wasn't saying I hate hime because he's black. The way I wrote it was meant to mean:
A lot of spanish people hate him because he's black, even though a lot of people hate him for his arrogance, such as myself .

hey come on this is getting out of hand. racism is a serious issue and if this is true they will get there just deserves but for now can we discuss the good points of the Olympics

Yeah. I was just replying to earlier comments I missed.
GO TEAM GBR

Who here believes it should be ENG, SCO, WAL, NIE?
Instead of GBR?

it would be a good idea but they might not have enough have people to enter

Of course they would.

British Virgin Islands, Tuvalu and Palau have all entered with 3 competitors
