Olympics is not about making rich even richer. It's about giving the small nations the additional quota not about increasing the standard of competition.

Yep, I'd be shocked if Brady goes to Tokyo. Gauff & Pegula look to be most probable women players.

Artem Besedin has been ruled out for up to six months with a partially torn ACL, MCL and a broken tibia.

But of course it wasn't a foul, right?

Looks like the "Me Too" movement is truly dead after a minor hype as Bill Cosby will be released from prison

I thought predictions were for the 90 minutes  

For 120. That's why I got 0 pts even though I predicted extra time in Spain vs Croatia.

Priceless look on Andersson's face. He doesn't know what hit him.

Deserved win if only because of Danielsson's foul.

Dovbyk scores!

To be fair: NEVER go by a still photo!

Even X-rays of the knee if it turns out that's a torn ACL? Or did he fake the injury now?

Horrible decision! For me it wasn’t even a foul.

This is not a foul? Then what is a foul in your book? A leg torn off would be good enough for you?

The stupid fucker had the nerve to protest that RC. What an absolute tool. I'm totally disusgted by this.

That should be a red card for Danielson!!! What a thug!!!

Serena Williams just won't stiff arm Father Time no matter what her fans say. She and Federer will not win another GS again. Old age comes back to all of us, let alone professional athletes.

Ricochet goal for Sweden This guy Forsberg again.

Zinchenko scores!

England gets incredibly lucky not to have a red card already. Goodbye Makkelie for this tournament

Bjorn Kuipers is probably the favorite to referee the final though

Yea, watch them lose 0-1 to Sweden next

Even Kane scores. Germany down & out.

What a miss from Mueller!

Sterling scores!

England needs Sancho in this game. But Southgate just doesn't want to play him no matter what.

Rice is very lucky there was Walker near him or else he'd be send off!

Remind me again what continent Nagano is on 

 

If the NHL ever wants to make inroads into Asia, this is it.  China, needless to say, is a slightly larger market than Korea, so that may make a difference.  But they'll likely use whatever excuses they can think of to avoid making it happen

Nagano was different because it was the first time NHL players actually showed up at the Olympics. Grass is always greener on the other side. It's like the 1992 & 1996 NBA Dream Teams when USA actually send their BEST players to show who's the boss. Fast forward twenty five years and most of the next US basketball teams were B+ players because most stars "needed" a rest or don't bother playing at the Olympics.

China might follow NBA after the Yao Ming craze but ice hockey is one sport they don't care about at all IMO.

I guess that's what you get when only 6 teams will play. The bracket would look much easier if 12 or 16 teams played.

Two rounds of repechages when only 4 teams will be involved. Yikes. One SF team will have played 3 matches to get there, one other 4 and two others 5? The worst team will only play three games and game over?

All that and it's still gonna be Japan vs USA final most likely?
