My big concern about this Olympics is around security.

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

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.

Was Putin planning to deploy his very own KGB Suzy?

I think we will overachieve to keep the goal difference under 5 against France….

sparky

France ended up beating the USA 3-0 with a strong half show.

NZ's best chance of getting out of the group is probably beating the US.

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?
