Come on Mexico.... now or never!

Wow! Mexico are really pulling it out of the bag here. Surely they are scoring on this innings.

I have to say softball works very well at the Olympics! Imagine if there was a crowd here cheering them on, the atmosphere would be great! Pity there's only 6 teams and not 8 at least.

2-2!!! Mexico could actually win this!

Big big chance here for Mexico!

Yes, was pleasantly surprised to see the name O'Toole in a Mexican shirt!

Mexico 1-1.... now this is interesting

Great first day of action in the softball! Now to switch over my attention to women’s football

Here we go again for v

Great start to the Games! Definitely pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed that game. God I’ve missed this! I’m definitely in the Olympic mood now

If anyone beats this US team then they deserve a gold medal

Osterman is an absolute fiend

Avril Lavigne “Skater Boi” playing in the stadium, seems like we are back in the early 2000s

doing a great job so far!

Maybe it’s because it’s the first competition of the Games but I’m enjoying this so far

OMG yes!!

I got up at 03:00 this morning which means I am now on Pakistan time or Tashkent My plan is to be able to get up around midnight during the Games (most days the competition starts after 01:00 here but some days it starts before that). I’m getting there

Agreed! They look wonderful

The Olympic Federation of Ireland has Cliodhna Manning and Robert McDonnell listed as the 2 reserves for the mixed 4x400m relay... pretty much as expected.

It will be great waking up tomorrow to some Olympic action

So last night I went to bed at 20:30 and woke at 04:00. That’s 3 hours earlier than my usual waking up time which means I am now on Baku time
