3 all in footie.
In extra time now

 

[BringBackSwales]

It’s god to see those that run in the qualifiers also get a medal

Nothing to do with god surely?

 

[MillionMilesAway]

Nerves/pressure?

Could be.

 

[jimharri]

I suspect he's got away with it because no-one can work out what he was trying to do!

He's very lucky. He looked across before he made the move. So he can't claim he didn't know that Hoogland was there.

 

[BringBackSwales]

That’s a battling bronze

Haven't seen a Spanish collapse this bad since the 17th century

 

[SebastianBlue]

The defender just making a huge mistake, especially as the ball was going nowhere near the French player that he rugby tackled down in the box.

Very odd, I agree. It just wasn't something that would win him the race as it would stop it immediately.

Carlin gets the bronze. That's 5 medals today.

Almost guaranteed one in the heptathlon and a chance in the women's 400m.

 

[jimharri]

I'll imagine there'll be a Dutch protest going in now.

[SebastianBlue]

Unbelievably wasteful in front of goal this half.

We’ve had three or four good chances to put the match to bed, and then another to win it at the death, all squandered.

 

[jimharri]

Death, taxes and the 'muricans fucking up handovers.

 

[SebastianBlue]

In to the 8th minute of 5 minutes of stoppage now.

 

[BringBackSwales]

In to the 8th minute of 5 minutes of stoppage now.

So you both have a chance of winner?

GB are temporarily above France in the medal table now, although they'll go back ahead after the football (although we'll go back ahead if Johnson-Thompson matches or beats the French result in the heptathlon)

 

[SebastianBlue]

Our entire team are young lads, so they’re still learning, and this will be great experience for them on how not to manage a big match you are winning.

[MCFC1993]

This 400m should be Naser's from Bahrain, who is not long back from a ban.

 

[paulchapo]

Great game this.
