Handball is fucking brilliant

There's no VAR involved in this type of handball

I just saw that gigantic San Antonio Spurs basketball player on court a while ago.
Now that is a cheat code.

Wembanyama? He's a physical freak. There's a reason they call him the Alien.

The French have been pumping out basketball talent in recent years.

Used to regularly go to the Honk Kong Sevens….fucking brilliant memories of the rugby and wild nights

Me too mate. HK 7s was an annual occasion for me and was corporate entertainment. I was lucky to visit HK on business 5 or 6 times a year for almost 25yrs. One year I was in a box with Francois Pienaar, Jason Leonard, Jonah Lomuh and Gavin Hastings. On the piss all night, LKF and then Joe Banana’s

Fantastic! Was same for me, corporate jolly every year. Some of the guys used to end up sleeping on benches …..then getting back the next morning for 10am G&T buckets…

Thats the guy.
He must be close to 8 foot tall

I never thought i would ever see a player as good as Sir Gareth Edwards, whisper it but i think Dupont just maybe the best there's ever been

I used to drink in joe bananas in the late 80s, went to the 7s when david campese was playing, great days indeed.

Peaty wins his semi-final and he's looking good.

So is Qin. Looming fw to that final. Qin seems to think he is out of the Matrix

Peaty got to fancy his chances of doing 3 in a row.

He was a character mate. Used to wind up the South Stand and got loudly bood, good natured though!

Two Guinea goals VAR off for offside against France. First one looked off clearly but I thought the scorer of the second might have been onside, though others were offside when the ball was played.

 

[Stuuuuuu]

Why is there an Israel flag being waved about in seemingly every event, including events in which Israel is not taking part? It fucking stinks and needs to be sorted out.

Fans from Israel are allowed to watch events when Israel are competing. Have to admit the only one I saw was during the Israel v Paraguay game earlier, but I haven't been paying attention.

came out looking like a bond villain

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Genuinely not sure if the wife is making a joke or not.
Watching the relay swimming just now and she just said that she didn't realise the Olympics were in Croatia.
When I gave her that exasperated look and said no, it's in Paris, she then said " Then why does Split keep appearing on the bottom of the television"

Wow Canada Women’s football team docked 6 points for flying a drone over the NZ training session!! And their coaches banned for a year

Is that a bit harsh or fair enough?!
