HEEEELLLL YEAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! Bronze medal!!!!!!! WE HAVE A MEDAL!!!!! For all you that are from countries that usually get a lot of medals, this sounds like overreaction, but Portugal had 23 medals in 23 olympic editions (previous to Rio), so you can do the math and see how much a medal means for my nation!!! Our social media is going crazy!!! And it's Telma, who's a 5 time EC and always missed the medals on Olympics, so she was the one everyone was really cheering, she totally deserve this!!!! My medal's goal is achieved, from now on it will be (an amazing) bonus!

Rio 2016: Controlled explosion carried out near Olympic road race finish line by anti-bomb squad

What a final this one! Amazing Thrasher!

You can say Portugal arrived two times at Rio yesterday, first in Caravelas during the show: And after it during the Parade, where the athletes went mad with the awesome crowd reaction!

"He always believed in sex success" what a hell was he trying to say there???

Yes! Our athlete's words: "We want the world to know who the Euro champions are!"

Awesome reaction from the crowd!!!! Obrigado povo irmão!!!

This could be an amazing moment, the first time Portugal will be announced in Portuguese! But.... our country's name is the same in every language hahaha

It suck as a Portuguese that my country is always at the bottom of the parade in every language

Great ceremony so far! I liked how for the first time ever, Portuguese took part on an opening ceremony of an Olympic Games! (Even if it's because we invaded Brazil )

Rio 2016: Moroccan boxer Hassan Saada arrested over rape charges one day before Olympic fight What the hell was he thinking???

@OlympicIRL For me it would be this one, from Sydney 2000, "Dare to Dream". I was young back then, 13 years old, it was the first olympics I ever seen, and seeing recently freed East Timor receiving standing ovation, the Koreas standing together in the parades, and all the ceremony with this kind of motivational and peace songs, I ended up really believing in the Olympic spirit!!

Bad luck? Bad luck for Porto! Worst opponent possible... looks that my team will have to start thinking about Europa League this year...

So I don't know if this is the right thread to put this, but I saw this funny image (maybe we should have a thread for funny images of the olympics no? )

Yeah I know but I saw the flags and I remember the feeling here in the 90s and the images I saw from back then, and now seeing the two nations together in the same building is something really great and a true olympic moment

You know, back in the later 90's we really absolutely despise/hate Indonesia because of the Timor-Leste invasion and the slaughter of the Timorenses. We filled our windows with white flags, popular musicians made songs for Timor, and I believe that when we organized the Universal Expo in 98 we didn't even had an Indonesian pavillion. The hate was so strong that in Sydney 2000 (which was also the first games where Timor was allowed to compete, although with the Olympic flag) our commentators clearly cheered against indonesia in EVERY sport. Now I believe the hate is gone

Yesterday I noticed this but forgot to mention here: on Portugal's match, the shirt's names started to... go away at the middle of the game hahaha Camisolas da selecao portuguesa perderam letras no primeiro jogo (if you don't wanna use translate you can just see the images )

Amazing!!! Where did you took that picture, so I can share it? This is really something worth of sharing!

I'm not sure if what I'm gonna say is true, but as a TV espectator it sounded that a lot of brazilian were cheering for Portugal, was that right? If yes, "Muito Obrigado"!!

I want to go sleep but i think i'll just wait for the first 10 min of the Fiji's match so I can see 2 or 3 goals

So the ridiculous GK goals aren't exclusive from women's football hehe

Because: - the portuguese player understood that there was a mistake and wanted to come back to the field; - the argentinian players and the referee looked at this and thought he was just spending time, so they (including the referee) were pushing the wrong player to leave.

So this just happened: they put the wrong number when announcing the substitution, so the wrong player had to leave instead of the intended one!

It's a bit ironic, Paciencia in portuguese means "Patience", which is kind what you need on this football matches if you want to see goals

Good match so far, very tight with shots and attacks from both teams. I wonder if we'll end this as a draw, to honour our seniors national team
