Olympic spying claim: New Zealand report Canada for flying drone over football training

Canadian Olympic Committee have offered a ‘heartfelt’ apology after a staff member was caught watching Football Ferns practice

Along with the convicted child rapist representing Holland in beach VB team*, gang rape of an Ozzie and timely release of a video of GB dressage star beating a horse, great start to the Olympics LOL

• His younger partner 'he's like a second father to me', he's your Daddy then

I'd understand if we were talking about the BF7s. But this is the football ferns right?

Pogacar has pulled out of the Olympic Cycling. He is upset that the Slovene cycling team did not pick his girlfriend.

@sparky There is a joke about him playing for Moana Pacifika in there somewhere.

Guinea equalised but it was ruled out by VAR.

[KiwiMurph]

Not a big fan of this NZ football team

Committing professional fouls and flopping. Miss me with that.

The last three minutes of the Argentina and Morocco game are being played in front an empty stadium four hours have the match began.

All over in Nice. New Zealand beat Guinea 2-1. A draw or a win against either France or USA might see them go through to the knockouts.

It's 0-0 at half time in Marseille in the France-USA football game between the two teams New Zealand still had to play in Group A.
