Off to the early lead, need a taller goalie!

Looks like a nice venue too - big crowd for 09:00 in the morning. Hopefully they will recreate the atmosphere at the Copper Box in London.

Believe the 7 extra ES Channels pop-up tomorrow on Sky & Virgin. To resume - 4 of them will be dedicated to the big fortnight long team sports & three others will be divided up as need be with the shorter-running sports like archery, canoe slalom, badminton etc etc.

Like I say, there are two different things, depending on what your source is. On the Eurosport 1 & 2, it will always be the Eurosport Commentators from the different ES nations. And then with maybe the very same pictures, several different World Feeds Commentators provided by the official OBS. Or probably no commentator at all on some feeds like the 4 Fencing pistes. What makes it even more confusing is that some commentators work for both. So the guy who is the third-choice ES English Cycling commentator said that he will be working on the World Feed for the Olympics. But at the end of December when copyright goes back to the IOC, only the World Feed will survive.

Maybe there are alternative results systems out there. People like the BBC, NBC etc usually have their own.

Once the table tennis & badminton finals are played.

They need to do what happens in many other sports - have a stadium clock controlled by an off-field official who stops it when play stops. The on-field Ref has enough to do controlling 22 idiot players.

The difference between football & rugby is that in rugby players pretend NOT to have injuries. “Dislocated? This arm? No, it always sticks out at this angle.”

If you scroll though the page the live events are always highlighted in red, but I don’t see an alternative.

Max will be the World Feed, but ES2 will be the local feed, with local commentators.

Would be funny if he over-ruled it.

I once saw an African Cup of Nations game that ended 4-3 after 1-2 in the 87th minute. Late 90s, Congo were one if the teams.

BBC have got the Argentina Morocco game.

And if you have tickets to the next game, better get your money back because it’s going to be closed doors for sure.

So what you’re saying is that the 1966 World Cup final is not finished? No, i did notice some of the Argentinians were flinching, obviously being hit by something.

Not believing that Maximum Altitude stat: did you go as far as ?

Will bet that has been focus-grouped and market researched at some point and…..

Oh my god!

3 minutes for Morocco, 12 minutes for the Argentinian Republican Shakespeare Company

Oh oh…..

Bad news for Samoan meme makers who wanted to throw shade at .

But the first score of the 2024 Olympics will be a sports quiz question one day, and you might win a car if you know it.

No, right thread - It’s the first point, that’s the idea.

First score of Paris 2024 goes to ! . Interception try!

Argentina still faking injuries in the way they’ve done all my lifetime. Is there a special academy they attend to learn?
