Tokyo 2020 Olympics/Paralympics

[JRockBlues]

Just had Mexico-France on in the background, France got took to the cleaners.

Missed that one but they can't be as bad as the German side that are getting tanked by Brazil. 3-0 at half-time and Brazil also missed a penalty (albeit a hasrshly given one). Richarlison hat-trick.

That's a lovely no nonsense basic Brazil kit.

I definitely saw a hint of City in the way the GB play. There's always someone available, providing an angle for the person on the ball. It's probably a good thing to have so many players that play together all the time anyway.

Mrs Southgate isn’t the manager then?

James Cracknell seems to have showed up on commentary ready to slag everyone off tonight.

Quite enjoyed his dismay at the Italian rower wearing a bucket hat and qualifying

 

[mat]

The opening ceremony will look strange later. I wonder if a giant Covid virus will bring the torch into the stadium?

 

[hammocity]

This is the worst Opening Ceremony in history, the Japanese are a great nation but this is just weird, should have moved the games to a Country that could allow crowds, logistically difficult but it could have been done.

A tent with a sphere on it apparently represents Mount Fuji, ffs, this is proper pony.
