Oh I didn't knew that there was actually a real law for that! Well, in that case I undersant (don't agree, but different countries, diferent rules, so I respect). Is the law reffering to going to Israel only, or it has also something about facing an opponent from that country? Btw, has ever been any situation where Israel and Iran had to face in any team sports?

What happens on this situations, if the team needs the player and he refuses to go? Will he be punished/fired?

I'm actually a big fan of Canada women's team since 2012, I remember watching one of the most exiting football matches I ever seen at the London Olympics Semifinal! I admit I was cheering for USA (wanted badly to see a rematch of the 2011 World Cup final) but I earn a lot of respect for your nations team (specially for Sinclair, amazing on that match!)

But with this new format the money will allways be to the strongest league teams, which means the difference between the top 4/5/6 leagues and the remaining ones will get higher.... I understand the feeling, I also don't like to see a Champions League match ending in 6-0, but if those teams aren't allowed to go to Champions League, how will Uefa contribute to the diversification of good football around Europe??

I think this new system is a joke... I mean, I undersant that it's probably more profitable for UEFA to have Roma and Inter in Champions, comparing with teams from Bulgaria, Croatia, Belgium (or even Portugal). But I see this as totally unfari to the other teams, specially because by being directly on group phase they'll guarantee a (very useful) amount of money.... About the groups, for I think it's a good draw (except for Sporting, they'll go to Europa League at best), Porto has a good group, Benfica can end up in first place (if it plays like last year).

I'm a Fc Porto fan, and that was my same reaction Because current Porto is really weak (compared to some years ago), with very few good players, so everyone was already expecting Europa League this year. I honestly think Roma would have won if not for the violent behaviour that gave them 2 red cards....

Yeah I know the term is incorrect, but I really don't like the doubles version of a sport I see as more for the individual. That's only my opinion.

Doubles (both men, women and mixes).

Out Boxing, Dressage as individual event, men's football, modern penthatlon, wrestling and rhythmic gymnastics. I'm also not a big fan of team competitions on individual events (tennis, table tennis, fencing, archery). I would not put any more sport in. Regarding Field Hockey, I actually like it a lot, and it's my favourite kind of hockey, though I don't think more teams are neede to the Olympic tournament.

I'm having the same feeling from Athens 2004, after I saw the Beijing presentation: well, this was nice, but TOKYO WILL BE AWESOME!!!!!

I predicted 1 (yes, one hahaha) and I'm glad to be right Compared to the nations of almost everyone here in Totallympics this sounds crazy, but this was actually an amazing Olympics with a lot of our athletes ending on top 15 and top 10, which is really great. No, not great in "this is everything I dream about", but more like "this is the best our athletes that have 0 government/private support can do against the best of the best".... A good example is our Taekwondo young guy, Rui Bragança, which I think was 3rd on the Olympic ranking before Rio (not sure about this as I don't like and don't follow taekwondo ), and all his career was paid by his parents (he's studying Medicine!!). Meanwhile, my shitty country spent 10 MILLION euros on building a "football city" for our national teams to train. So, with this reality, leaving Rio with any medal of any colour is really great!

For me this was a better ending, as Modern Pentathlon is the sport I dislike the more on Olympics (I'm always hoping to see it gone) and because I love to see US Basketball team. I'm just a bit sad as I expected a little more from Serbia, but well, Durant+Thompson+Anthony... What an you do against them....

RIP Serbia Kevin Durant is absolutely awesome!!!! P.S- Handball and Basketball final at almost same time.... I'm happy that our Sport's channel has 5 channels, I watched the Handball final on laptop while watching the first half of Basketball on tv!

Congrats to Brazil!!!! I was expecting a "revenge", but Germsny has quite a team, they're future looks really bright indeed! Not a 7-1, but still a sweet win, and a deserved Gold medal!

How isn't Brazil winning is something I can't explain right now. But it has been an awesome match so far!

Carolina!!!!!! Big congratulations to the best in the world

Just came here to say that Lee Chong Wei vs Lin Dan was one of the best matches ever!

Absolutely amazing race! I'm a friend of João Pereira so I'm really happy for him, this was the best result ever of a portuguese in olympic thriatlon

Had to read too much complaining posts to finally found what I was looking for on this thread. Thank YOU!

For me, in terms of sports, it has been one of the best i've ever seen, really great so far!!! Regarding organization..... Not so much....

USAIN!!!!!! As we say here: "CHUPA GATLIN!!!!" (suck it Gatlin)

Chen Xinyii, 4th on the 100m Butterfly here in Rio, tested positive. Chinese women's swimmer Chen Xinyi, 18, 'tested positive to banned drugs'

True, it was an amazing competition today! Though I like the idea of having this gender equality in sports, I really believe it's motivational for a lot of women to see that they can try to be the best at their sport and dream with an olympic medal. I would like for C2 to stay, but if for one to go in, another needs to go out..... then I don't mind to see it go away

Good! Congrats for the Gold medal to slovakia!

Yes I'm cheering for them as well but can't speak it too loud, last time I did here they ended without the gold
