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

[Suitman]

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.

 

[strider]

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.

It’s horrid quality

I'm a football fan and womens soccer has come a long long way. Some of the women's teams are phenomenally good.
It is double standards the men's is effectively u23s.
The men's game has go to the point where some players are now playing up to 80-90 games a yr with their leagues, the various number of cups within the country they play in, then all the euro comps, the international matches etc.
Lots of pre-seasons are international tours now as well it's just insane.
The women's competition are nothing like the men's...

 

[Chipmunk]

Did our Men's soccer team qualify?

Nah. From what I can see they often have air kicks, they can barely control the ball and my god they are woeful at shooting.
They need to get a lot better. Train more/harder.

ok

 

[Suitman]

Did our Men's soccer team qualify?

You already know the answer to that.

 

[Chipmunk]

You already know the answer to that.

I don't actually, which is why I asked.

I assume we didn't?

 

[Twizzle]

geez our women kicked arse in the Rugby, that left sided winger is amazing, just give her the ball and watch her score

It's ridiculous. Smurfs in smurf village are A sexual. They don't have reproductive organs under there white pants.
Baby smurfs are delivered by the stork and Smurfette well she was sent as a spy by Gargamel. But Gargamel isn't that smart. He's been fooled cause he is unaware. ( It is what makes the show so funny right) Let me explain.

See all male and female Smurfs live in other villages, far away. Gargamel doesn't know about these smurfs. They reproduce normally, and they have two types of offspring : male and female . Of course which they keep but they also have asexual offspring, which they give to the storks. So all the smurfs on TV that you know that live in the smurf village are the A sexual ones that the Storks have delivered.
Pappa Smurf well he guides them but also has no dick.

Your a smart guy so suprised never picked this up as a kid? It isn't that complicated.

 

[JokerEel]

Did our Men's soccer team qualify?

No we missed out

 

[Twizzle]

Of course the opening ceremony was intended to be degrading.

no, that's just your interpretation

if it was intended to be degrading, why would they have done it ?

Smurfs at the Olympics would have actually been a good idea as they were created in France.


Also where the Snorks an underwater rip of version of the Smurfs?
