OT: Games of the XXXIII Olympiad - Paris 2024 - 26/7 to 11/8

So why are you asking @Twizzle a question you already know the answer to?

Well my actual question was why can't we ignore mods. Your comment was completely different.

So just so I can be of help I'll use that ignore button for you and add you to the list.

Btw you used to be ok 10-15 years ago on here..

And you're still ok now.
I don't get the angst.

Alarm bells should be ringing massively if Zambia are potting 5 goals in against us.

I can cop a defeat against the Germans. But should Zambia be scoring 5 goals against our defence.

I think we fizzle out meekly unless there is a massive turnaround against the USA.

Men's is basically an under 23s competition yet the women's in all ages. Do they think the women aren't as good under the age of 23 so let it be all ages? This is an embarrassment to equality and almost mocking how far women's football has come. Suprised they aren't BOYCOTTING FOR EQUALITY

The USA has had no problems scoring goals.
We have had trouble defending goals.
We are toast.

Football is a funny game. We can win. Just need some luck. Unlike league where the better sides nearly always win in football often the worse side gets a stroke of luck.
I still think it's bullshit it's all ages. They have the women's world cup and that is the big stage for them. Make it under 23s like the men's.

I'd suggest that the men's game is far more demanding.
Some teams can have 50 plus games a year, in high demand competitions like the EPL, FA Cup, League Cup and then Euro competitions.
It's hectic mate.
The Woman's Football don't have that level of demand.
To add Olympics to that for the Men's during their off season is just too much.

Dang the standard would be unpresentable. It’s bad enough when it’s all age.

Of course the opening ceremony was intended to be degrading.

Papa smurf never did anything to warrant having his ball sack paraded worldwide on tv. Disgusting.

It's pretty decent quality. As good as mens? I reckon its like comparing men's and women's tennis. Both good in own ways. Very watchable I feel.
Olympics is more about a competition for sports that don't have a recognised event on the world stage. The Olympics is the pinnacle.
I highly doubt winning gold in Footbal would be chosen over winning the world cup. Just like winning Wimbledon would be chosen over a gold in tennis.
