Go Portugal, there is only one team that deserves this trophy, please make Platini cry.

Its one thing to lose against a weaker team, but its something completely different when a clown like Grießmann scores 2 goals, This guy would be completely lost in a team like Barcelona or Bayern, he is one of the biggest anti-players i have ever seen, even Manuel Neuer has a better technique than him.

You need to see the bigger picture, but i know this is probably too big of a task for you. Hummels got 2 yellow cards for nothing, one by this weird-looking dutch referee, this way you at least had some participation in the tournament. But dont be sad, maybe you get a better qualification group next time, Iceland and Turkey were just too strong opponents for you, maybe you get San Marino or Gibraltar next time, then you might have a realistic chance to qualify ...

I think we really have to ask what the f**k Schweinsteiger is doing in this tournament? He was the one who decided before the penalty-shootout against Italy that we shoot in front of the italian fans and that Italy starts, then he decided to clearly miss the decisive penalty and now he caused this stupid penalty ... He seems to be on a mission and its not a good one for us ... We seem to have a spy in our own team.

If there is a god, then Platini will go to jail for all of this. First we eliminate Italy, then we get an italian referee in the next match against the host, then we completely dominate the host and then the referee decides to manipulate the game. Its sad enough that we dominate the second best team of the tournament without 5 or 6 of our best players, but i cant believe that no one tells this clown Platini to f**k off.

The same happened with the (supposedly) 19 yo girl in womens 10000. The worst thing is that all those athletes are average when Turkey buys them, but then they suddenly become world class. You have to wonder why Turkey isnt able to produce any world class athletes on their own, because they obviously seem to have great coaches, otherwise all those naturalized athletes wouldnt become world class all of a sudden. The only good thing about all of this is that turkish officials seem to be pretty stupid, because all of their athletes get caught very quick. So we can be sure that turkish medals, if they win any, will be given back pretty quick after the olympics.

Very disappointing by Vicaut, like last year at the world championships, i start to doubt that we will have a european athlete in the final of Rio. Ujah, Gemili and Hughes all seem to be out of shape or even out of Rio. I think we will see 3 american guys + at least 2 jamaican guys + De Grasse in the final for sure.

Yeah, but did you see her? We might have a "Semenya case" in shot put.

No, he wanted to become turkish, because its such a great country and he likes döner that much ...

Martina isnt one of my favorite athletes, but at least that "turkish" guy didnt win. Its just pathetic that all turkish medal winners are naturalized, especially because it shows the hypocrisy of turkish political leaders. Hopefully god/WADA will find a way to stop Turkey from winning any medal in athletics or swimming (Solnceva).

I am very happy that Kilty got disqualied, sadly the same didnt happen to Rutherford and Ingebrigtsen. Will Kilty compete at the olympics?

So ... ? In most of those events we are favorite, but of course it will be very difficult in mens discus throw, womens triple jump and womens long jump.

No surprise, she does heptathlon for the rest of the year. A couple of months ago i was sure that she would win gold in Rio, but then she didnt really show progression until now. After this result i am optimistic again.

Overall bad results for us so far, our javelin throwers werent able to adapt to the conditions, but i am sure that we will win at least 1 gold in Rio. Schwanitz finally with a really good result, maybe she can fit for gold in Rio after all. I hope that we will win gold in mens 1500 m, mens shot put, mens discus throw, mens triple jump, womens 3000 m SC, womens long jump, womens triple jump and womens 4x100 m relay.

German commentator said it was the weakest winning score since 1971 ...

Some (maybe) interesting questions for your game: Will the US win more than 1 medal in mens/womens 100 m? Gatlin + ... ? Will the US win more than 1 medal in mens/womens Long jump? Reese + ... ? Will the US win more than 1 medal in mens/womens pole vault? Suhr + ... ? Will the US win more than 1 medal in mens/womens high jump? Lowe + ... ? Will the US win a medal in mens/womens 800 m? One out of Wilson/Berian? Will the US win more than 1 medal in mens/womens shot put? Kovacs + ... ?

Final predictions: Men: 50 free: At least one medal, but probably no gold 100 free: Silver or bronze 200 free: No medal 400 free: No medal 1500 free: No medal 100 breast: Probably bronze 200 breast: At least one medal, maybe even gold 100 fly: One medal, maybe even gold 200 fly: One medal, maybe even gold 200 IM: Gold + silver or bronze 400 IM: Probably silver 100 back: At least one medal, probably gold 200 back: Silver or bronze 4x100 free: Maybe silver or bronze 4x200 free: Probably gold Medley relay: Probably gold Women: 50 free: No medal 100 free: No medal 200 free: Probably gold 400 free: Gold and silver 800 free: Gold 100 breast: Silver or bronze 200 breast: No medal 100 fly: Silver or bronze 200 fly: No medal 200 IM: Maybe bronze 400 IM: Silver or bronze 100 back: No medal 200 back: Silver or bronze 4x100 free: Maybe bronze 4x200 free: Probably gold Medley relay: Silver or bronze I see 11 Gold medals at best and 28 medals in total at best. I think Ledecky will be the only individual Gold medal winner on the womens side, on the mens side Adrian, Phelps, Murphy and Prenot all could win a Gold medal.

You cant say that about all Events. USA is pretty bad in mens/womens discus throw/hammer throw/javelin throw/race Walking, womens heptathlon, womens triple jump, mens high jump (except for Kynard) and mens pole vault (except for Kendricks). They are also pretty bad in womens 100 free, womens 200 breast and womens 200 fly.

Yeah ... I doubt that Shields will make the final, but Phelps was obviously untapered and will be much faster in Rio. For me there is no way that the medals wont go to Phelps, Le Clos and Cseh, maybe Kenderesi, Zhuhao or some japanese guy can surprise everyone.

Sadly the dutch Referee is shit again, i think it was him who gave that ridiculous yellow Card to Hummels in our match against Slovakia and now Hummels will miss the semifinal thanks to him. If he wouldve given that Penalty, then we wouldve had an open match again, but obviously he is still pissed, because Iceland eliminated the Netherlands in qualification. UEFA/Platini planned everything perfectly for France to win the title, so i will cheer for Portugal or Wales in the final, although i hate Bale and Ronaldo.

Remember what? You had the oldest Team of the tournament while we have the youngest Team of the tournament, i dont think you will get any better in the next couple of years ...

Yes, i was just talking about our best possible Team, Gündogan and Reus also missed the whole tournament ... I dont think Van Nistelrooij is a similar case, because he completely retired many years ago, Lahm is still world class and would help us a lot. France also wont be able to Play with their best Team, they will miss Benzema and Varane.

We wont reach the final, we will miss Hummels, Khedira, Schweinsteiger, Gomez + Gündogan/Reus/Lahm in the semifinal, France will beat us, but i think you will have a Chance against France. I will cheer for you, because of Renato Sanches. I am glad that we finally won against Italy and that we have such a good record at Major tournaments: 2002: Final 2006: Semfinal 2008: Final 2010: Semifinal 2012: Semifinal 2014: Winner 2016: Semifinal In 2018 we will hopefully defend our title with Neuer, Boateng, Hummels, Kimmich, Gündogan, Kroos, Weigl, Dahoud, Müller, Götze, Draxler, Reus, Sane and so on.

Someone who doesnt want to cheer for Semenya also shouldnt cheer for Reese, they both have a clear Advantage over real women. I hope that at least one real Girl will beat Reese in Rio, hopefully she wont even medal.

And if Italy wouldve won today? I-taly/I-celand or It-a-ly/Fr-a-nce?
