rafalgorka 1,398 Posted March 20 #58 Share Posted March 20 So it looks like Paris Olympics will start for me at 3 p.m. CET with first 30 mins of ARG vs MAR football match … but then I will probably switch to rugby The other match at 3 p.m. will be ESP vs Asian team phelps, canadafan2024, Topicmaster1010 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iraq will be a doubt for sure if they will be located with them yeah, but even if I think they won't qualify, there are still in play Nations like or who might do the trick but I'm sure FIFA and IOC will do some magic and that Asian team in group D will end up being one between or Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
