Team GB at the Olympics (Men and Women)

[winnits]

Just commented that Sue Smith is so much better as a co-commentator than the shite we normally have to put up with in Mark Lawrenson.

I don't like her much, but she nevertheless eclipses Lawrenson by some distance.

TeamGB ladies beat Brazil - good work!

You didn't know her name at the time though, although, it was actually Lucy Ward.

You told me it was Sue Smith!!!

Hope this result helps to boost the profile of the Women's game over here. A fantastic effort to beat Brazil!

[donny]

I thought it was at first.

The women being a part of it makes sense because womens football is so minor in England and their profile will obviously want boosting.

The men's involvement I don't think is right. If they win a medal (which I doubt looking at their squad) I worry that it will suddenly be called for "Team GB" to enter the world cup and euro's instead of England, Scotland and Wales and that is the last thing I want personally.

[Huxley]

I think that's the last thing anyone wants.

Not sure..could be a good idea. I'd have no objections as long as there are no Scottish players...not that any would ever make a GB team.

There's one in the Team GB Womens team.

Edinson Cavani rated at Ģ40 Million.

Joe Allen rated at Ģ15 Million.

I have seen nothing in these games to suggest they are worth that much. Ridiculous prices.

Liverpool never learn. This lad will be another Jordan Henderson

[Kireek]

1-0 Sturridge

[Liaminho]

South Korea next.

[EmJay]

Well that was a cracking day out

If I had a bit more cash I'd get a ticket for saturday and drive up again.

During the Mexico v Switzerland game Stuart Pearce was sat a couple of rows behind me! I was so starstruck, but quickly said hello before being ushered away by security. Roy Hodgson and Trevor Brooking also sat a few seats down from me during the GB game, but it was Psycho that had me starstruck. I didn't know what to do with myself!

Decent second half performance, and looking at the teams left in, I can see us getting a medal, although I suspect it will be bronze as I can't see us getting past Brazil in the semi's if we make it that far.

[Tobias]

Terrible keeping from Butland

1-0 to South Korea

[Barbus]

An equaliser made in Nottingham (sort of ). Penalty won and scored by two former Forest loanees.

[Tobias]

Two poor penalties from Ramsey

[TheDude]

Pearce should have* chinned him for that stupid stutter run-up

[chriscl]

Pearce should of chinned him for that stupid stutter run-up

Pearce probably will!

[Tommy Gaynor]

Someone should chin Pearce for leaving Giggs on the bench.

Game on in Wales & doesn't start Giggs. W.T.F ?

€50 on GB to reach the final. Money gone for a sh*t.

[Harrison]

at least he wanted to play for his country.

He recovers from meningitis to compete while Gareth Bale feigns injury not to be picked.

[WeAreNottingham]

Has Savage's inveiglement ruined the football for anyone else? He is SO fucking useless every time he opens his mouth my blood boils

[sedgred]

You told me it was Sue Smith!!!

That's Mrs Sedge, I know it's an unusual name but it is Mrs Sedge !!

[Col]

Someone should chin Pearce.

Rather you than me...

[Tutts]

Arron Ramsey should never have been allowed to take another penalty in the main match.

He got lock with the first one and was even worse with the other.
