And now flag.

This thread feels empty without @hckosice's fun facts.

So far I have seen and flags in the stands.

Quite boring match so far.

Apparently we play like San Marino in free kick situations.

Switzerland has also named their eventing team: Patrizia Attinger (Hilton P) Robin Goddel (Grandeur de Lully CH) Ben Vogg (Noe des Vatys) Felix Vogg (Colero) Ben Vogg & Noe des Vatys' palmares keeps expanding! They are the only combination in history of the sport that competed at Junior/Young Rider championships as well as all three senior championships (ContCh, WEG, OG). 2010 European Junior Championships 2011, 2012, 2013 European Young Rider Championships 2014 World Equestrian Games 2015, 2017 European Championships 2016 Olympic Games Also we have a shortlist for the show jumping team.

Honestly we will lose the next match irregardles of what happens tomorrow. Hopefully it will be 2nd place and not 4th.

7:6 is not destroying.

Not really. 2 group stage matches still carry much more value than 1 semifinal match. And there are 48 group matches compared to 2 semifinals... Prediction contests should be exciting, and yes, it is more exciting when you have something to lose (or gain), instead of having medals/top 10s decided way before the final stages of the tournament.

So, this picture has been going around a lot these days. That guy with cellphone.

Hopefully Bhutan is finally ready to send someone to the Olympics who isn't looking for the bullseye.

Holy shit.

Try reporting the opening post, since apparently reporting gets things deleted with no questions asked (even when done by an abusive user). Maybe then we could put useful links.

Irish eventing team has been named... No Jonty Evans for obvious reasons. Team: Tipperary’s Padraig McCarthy with Mr Chunky, owned by Christopher and Sarita Perkins, Huw Lloyd and Lucy Wiegersma Kildare’s Aoife Clark with Fernhill Adventure (ISH), owned by Richard Last and Aoife Clark Galway’s Cathal Daniels with Rioghan Rua (ISH), owned by Margaret Kinsella Meath’s Sarah Ennis with Horseware Stellor Rebound (ISH), owned by Horseware Products Ltd, Niki Potterton and Orla Ennis Carlow’s Sam Watson and Horseware Ardagh Highlight (ISH), owned by Belinda Keir Five reserves have also been named in the following order: 1st Tim Bourke with Luckaun Quality (ISH) 2nd Patricia Ryan with Dunrath Eclipse (ISH) 3rd Joseph Murphy with Sportsfield Othello (ISH) 4th Ciaran Glynn with November Night (ISH) (TIH) 5th Clare Abbott with Euro Prince (ISH) Really, Tim Bourke & Luckaun Quality only the reserves? That's a hardcore Irish eventing combination that very much excels in cross-country. They are much more reliable than Clark & Fernhill Adventure and Ennis & Stellor Rebound... All but one listed horses are ISH. In any case, hopefully @OlympicIRL will be celebrating first Irish Olympic spots with this team.

Epic Haase vs Škugor showdown now confirmed (also featurnig Linstedt/Inglot but who cares ). It's revenge time.

I think it makes sense to sum the votes for tennis contest (10 + 5) and choose the more popular option? I mean, it would be senseless to have both combined WTA + ATP singles contest AND ATP singles/doubles.

I can't this.. Haase now eliminated Mektić. His next match might be against Inglot/Škugor. If so, then Haase stands a real chance to elminate a Croatian doubles player for the fourth match in a row.

3 points from Vachon today!

Their squad was in four parts at one point.

Bora gives up on Sagan.

Quick Step

He's there for ITT mainly. I'm much more worried about Vachon, Đurasek, Terpstra...

Phew, it was a good decision to pick Froome over Dumoulin for today's double points bonanza.
