These sooks are making us look bad. Don't get out of the pool and cry.

Maybe there is too much chlorine in the pool?

I've pretty much been only watching the basketball and hockey. Stuff all those other brats.

would people rather see Australia win the medal tally at the Olympics or a  Richmond premiership?....For me the latter without even thinking.

ok ..what sporting event would rank higher for you than a Tigers flag?

The cry baby Olympics.

The team is as soft as butter.

Kazakhstan have more gold medals.

To be fair, it's mainly just our swim team that are rooted. The whole lot came in pretty hubris. In many other sports our guys and girls have been making it into finals left, right and center.  :cheers

We would've won gold medals if all these non-swimming nations didn't turn up  :doh  ;D

I think the past few Olympics have raised people's and especially the media's expectations unrealistically for this squad. As you allude to dwaino this Olympics team had mostly done sweet stuff all prior to these Olympics. We were always going to come second to the Brits in the cycling. I remember the 70s and 80s and if we won even one gold medal it was almost time for a national holiday. We're probably returning to our norm without the individual freaks around this time to win a swag of gold medals themselves.

Boomers taking it right up to Russia at the moment. Hope they can keep it up for four quarters as the Russians proved against Spain that they won't relent. Mewly and Anderson on fire with the 3 pointers.

Ingles' confidence is flying and Mills is still being a gun. Need to keep the pressure on Russia and we could win this  :pray


edit: down by a point, 4.1 seconds left and call a time out. NOOOOOOOOO Why did Mills try to seal it with a 3 instead of just 2 to make it a 3 point buffer :(

Did you see the race? Really gave the Cypriot nothing. I thought it was a great scene at the line when the Cypriot gave Slingsby a nod after that battle, and even the British bloke shook his hand. Congrats to Cyprus for winning their first ever medal too.
