You mean you never smoked Yuf? Where were you?

Is MacDonald the one that looks like a maths teacher clinging on to his youth and wants to be "down with the cool kids"?

Like the BBC commentators Tim Worwood and Ed Leigh on both this and snowboarding, freestyle skiing, etc. who are always so "stoked."

Didn't you just die a little inside writing that? You're a hero, my man.

Slightly, but tbh I reckon I'll start wilting away once I start watching at start trying to figure out how he can win the quota. 

 

Something which does make this event somewhat worthwhile though is the names of some of the B-Girl. My personal favourites are B-Girl Syssy, B-Girl Spidergirl, B-Girl MadMax and B-Girl Isis. Dunno how the Ecuadorian got away with that last one.

GB looked good against Tonga, better than South Africa did against Uganda who struggled to cope with the poor conditions but luckily for them so did Uganda who arguably struggled more.

I wouldn't read too much into the QFs. Uganda are arguably a better team than Tonga right now.

Regardless South Africa looked really poor and struggled with the conditions, both us and Spain would've beat them there.

GBR played really well and were able to shut it down in the 2nd half to save some energy. Which will be crucial for the final if they make it

[Epic Failure 355]

I agree that GBR were great against Tonga.

 

I worry that Canada struggling past Chile will give RSA an even easier SF task than it could have been.

Sunni knocked out in last place in his group and most likely won't qualify. Have to say that was one of the worst and most confusing things I've watched in my life. The ones who did the better moves never won for some reason, and the B-Boy who picked the track tended to be the one who won.
