Both of our first matches today are against France. I guess it makes sense, we’re quite the partners with France in hosting.
 

France vs USA in Rugby in 25 minutes! 
France vs USA in Football in 5 hours!

 

On both fronts a win would be an outstanding result.

Unfortunately Rugby Sevens has been a let down for quite a few years, basically since the last olympics, but because of the tie we will get to the quarter finals most likely, unless they lose to Uruguay, which they might do

ok WTF! on a computer i cannot go back on peacock or nbcolympics to the beginning of the stream for rugby!

Question, curious, what exactly happened?  I ask because I was able to go back to the beginning of the handball streams today on my PC, even if the match was close to over.

That's basically what happened, i went to watch yesterday's rugby, and it was a long stream with all the 12 matches, and i was unable to go back all the way to the start, but on the phone i was able to, not sure about the tv.

 

Also today i wanted to watch the handball game, but they didn't post the replay until about 2 hours after the game was over, i really hope it will not happen once the action begins on saturday

If you were trying to watch the stream whilst the event was still live, I know Peacock sometimes doesn't let you go back more than 2/3 hours when it is happening live. I've encountered that a few times before now. When the full replay is posted online it works fine for the whole thing.

Epic Failure - I think you are spot on.  I encountered that during the Tour de France, sometimes I wouldn't turn it on on Peacock until about 5 hours into the race, and it would only go back so far.  Maxim was watching a 6+hour stream of rugby, so similar problem.  Fortunately, handball matches are only 1.5 to 2 hours.  

 

Another thing about Peacock, which should seem obvious, and that is when the live stream ends, no matter where you are in the event, the stream stops and you get the message that replay will be posted soon.  So I've rewound the handball match, I'm at about the 45 minute point in the match, and then suddenly without warning it stops.

It's what Peacock does. They do it with wrestling too.    I didn't know about TDF since I'm on the west coast I watched it later in the day.  But it will be horrible.  Thank God the main events are on the regular channels so I will probably go a lot to regular broadcast TV since YouTube TV will record every event on every channel.   Also no chance of spoilers

 

Also we can try out nbc olympics app or nbcolympics.com

    • HA, shitty food indeed, however we bring something to the world that no arab countries do, Every big tech company working with israeli inventions, google israeli tech and medicine inventions, you'll be surprised, better put your phone down because both Apple and Google invest in israel
    • Gonna call your terrorist friends? Watch out for your pager!   We only killed when trying to get to Hammas that are hiding in civilian population, in Mosques, under hospitals, inside kitchens. The arab world is the one always trying to get into a fight, but every time they start something we knock them out and they start crying to the world, it's no longer working, we simply don't care. in 1948 we were attacked, we won, in 1967 we were attacked we won (while winning the Golan Heights and Sinai which we gave back 7 years later) and in October 7th your buddies decided to fuck around, so now they found out that we are not to be messed with, Iran is jumping now that Nasrallah's death will be avenged, well, i'm looking forward to that
    • They did all that with money of Mcdonalds/starbucks/coa cola ...shty food 
    • and do not quote my comments again 
    • They kill Palestinians all the time during the year from 1948 , steal their houses and richness , torture innocents in jail including kids , they created terrorism to destroy the area ...etc ..etc and they will stop til they kill everyone in this planet according to this telmoud  now world understand what Adolf did       
    • No, it's not, because the other side are openly calling for extermination of Israel and jews, while, if given a chance we would love the whole region to be together and work together, on trade and other things   What do you think the ABRAHAM ACCORDS are? attempt to normalize the region, and if not for October 7th (or biden's election), then Saudi Arabia would've been a part of it. so 100000% Hammas and Hizballah are the bad guys , and even suggesting that Israel are not really shows that you don't understand the region and not truly know what's happening there, and rather parroting what you hear from the media or see on social media.   And if you think that it's a Netanyahu thing, it's not, not even close, the Israeli elected officials support it. Up until 2 months ago, the leader of the opposition Benny Ganz was in a unity government, Leaders of the left like Yair Lapid support the current work in Lebanon.    
    • "We"     But yeah, just saying "oh its war, we are the good guys, just defending ourselves" isn't different to what the 'other side' says. Very plain, very simple: both Netanyahu and his cronies and the terrorists of Hamas, Hezbollah and so on have insane amounts of blood on their hands. They can try to wash it by saying "but the other guys are worse!", but that doesn't work.   Oh well, I don't believe in an afterlife, but if I did, I'd be happy knowing where these 'leaders' will end up, all in the same place.
    • What we did was a payback, we don't have a drop of blood on our hands, they started something October 7th, they thought the pressure from the world and USA will deter us, but it's not going to, we simply don't give a fuck anymore. The blood is on the hands of Hammas, Hizballah, Iran, Qatar and other terror enablers like our terrorist friend over here. This is WAR, and innocent people die in war. Unlike other wars the ratio of terrorists to civillians is much better then any other war.   The amazing pager operation was an example of how we target the terrorists specifically.   It's very easy for Hammas and Hizballah to stop the war in about 10 minutes, give up arms, release hostages and we will stop before the beginning of the hour, but they won't do that. So they will get everything that is coming to them.    
    • Not sure where to post this, but Greece is rewarding all athletes who finished in the top 8 in Paris. 30.000 euros for gold medalists, 20.000 for silver, 15.000 for bronze, and 10.000 for athletes finishing 4th-8th. If you were part of a team, then you only get half the amount.   So this means: 30.000-Apostolos Christou (20.000 + 10.000), Miltiadis Tentoglou 15.000-Emmanouil Karalis, Dauren Kurugliev, Eleftherios Petrounias, Theodoros Tselidis 10.000-Kristian Gkolomeev, Theodora Gkountoura, Emmanouela Katzouraki, Stefanos Ntouskos, Stefanos Tsitsipas 7.500-each member of Fitsiou/Kontou and Gkaidatzis/Papakonstantinou teams 5.000-each member of Anastasiadou/Bourmpou, Malkogeorgou/Platanioti, men's basketball, men's water polo, and women's water polo teams   It's nothing extravagant like other countries do, but some nice bonuses for these athletes, except of course Tsitsipas and the men's basketball players which really don't need this money.
    • after some gazillion of years FC Sankt Pauli won a Bundesliga game   Worth a beer to me ! cheers folks
