I can see future now... :-) Relax everybody, it's a joke....

I know noone cares about that, but I looked over the bracket and I have been to 8 out of 16 of these countries and from what I've seen there, noone will get more fun than beating here, but it's quite obvious. I would like to see social media from Fez and around when it happens. Cheered for in this World Cup (and and ) but after match I changed my mind. The same with . Sorry for that.

@dullard thanks for your comment. That's what I wanted from this series of polls. That we will get some info on maybe not the most obvious and well-known Paris contenders. If Galossi wins Gold in Event#1, how many swimming gold medals will Italy get in total after such a thing on Day1??? ;-) Good luck against ARG, chances are small, but still bigger than POL has against FRA, I think.

I know it's AFP. I wonder why Indian newspaper shares it so simply.

02 say yes. Ok. we can do it this way. But be careful, OlympicsFan will come in and and tell us individually how amateurish and pathetic we are in our predictions , you wanted it

Well, Let's put it this way. I don't know all the details of this conversation, there's too much to follow, going on. I have focused myself on some other things lately. But I think I may know this journalist and I may have - in some way - suggested him asking this part of this question: how he feels that his team has many Russian fans" But whatever, let's talk about football here, SRB is out, POL will be out on Sunday. No need to get nervous.

Maybe other explanation is: We are here all the time, nobody talks about footballl, race walking has more followers and we're happy. And then, BAM, FIFA World Cup comes in. I know, no funny at all.

My QFs bracket, traditionally all wrong vs vs vs vs

Which one is You, second from the left, I reckon? ;-)

Anti-spam promise gets broken. Dressage - GER - well, it's quite obvious. 2. FRA 3. GBR Eventing - AUS - 3 golds in a row 1992-2000, really spectaculiar 2. GBR 3. FRA Jumping - FRA - because it's jumping. The obstacles are knocked down in the most unexpected moments, so even if GER, SWE, maybe GBR, USA or NED look better on paper, I can smell a surprise here, and I cheer for FRA so here it is. 2. NED 3. SWE Fencing - FRA - in a very close final against ITA but I cheer for FRA, 2. ITA 3. HUN Athletics - GBR - I'm biased obviously, but their 2004 win against USA is one of my fav olympic moments, it really made my laugh and smile. JAM will drop a batton in my imaginary games because of karma - 2008 DSQ of one of their members was one of biggest disappontments in olympic history for me 2. USA 3. CAN

No more spam on the forums this morning from me, I promise, have a good day everyone!

If I could get any ticket I want and if I could be able to spend the whole olympics in Paris my very early plan would look sth like that (VERY EARLY DRAFT, PART ONE, FIRST FEW DAYS) Wed 24.7 RUGBY SEVENS - Men's Pool Rd Thu 25.7 RUGBY SEVENS - Men's Pool Rd and QFs / (HANDBALL - Women's Tournament if POL qualifies, chances are 7-12 % imho) Fri 26.7 OPENING CEREMONY Sat 27.7 CYCLING ROAD - M and W Time Trials SWIMMING - Finals and SF Sun 28.7 EQUESTRIAN - Eventing Cross Country SWIMMING - Finals and SF Mon 29.7 CANOE SLALOM - M C1 SF and F SWIMMING - Finals and SF Tue 30.7 TRIATHLON - M SWIMMING - Finals and SF In the meantime, if it's possible - VOLLEYBALL (if Men's POL team is playing against strong opponent, chances to qualify >95%), if not - BASKETBALL USA Game if they are playing if not - TENNIS Wed 31.7 ROWING TENNIS or BEACH VOLLEYBALL SWIMMING - Finals and SF Thu 1.8 ROWING GYMNASTICS ARTISTIC - W Ind All-Around Final In the meantime - if it's possible - TENNIS or BEACH VOLLEYBALL Fri 2.8 ROWING SWIMMING - Finals and SF In the meantime - if it's possible - TENNIS or BEACH VOLLEYBALL TBC... :-) of course, this is my wish list, not at all possible, but one can dream...

Morocco wins the group and Poland is in the Last 16. 1986 Deja vu indeed. In the last 16 we lost 0-4 though :-( and Boniek said we won't qualify in next 20 years which was almost true, so hope that will be no more deja vu now ;-)
