Nigeria just subbed in a player who is 157 cm large (small?). The crowd cheer him everytime he touches the ball :D

was one of the better games overall even if Nigeria didnt score. They should wreck Honduras in the 3rd place match and we get the final everyone was hyping before the tournament. I'm surprised Germany has never won an olympic gold either. I know Olympic soccer isn't taken the most seriously but I figured they would have at least 1 title

Yay Mekhissi's protest was valid and he won the bronze in 3000m Steeple (:
And Kowal is the second French athlete to talk openly about doping in interviews, saying "it's everywhere". I'm starting to wonder if French athletes are really hypocritical or really clean.

Who expected this German team in the final? o.O Who is hyped for this German team?
This is like a B/C-team of our U21. Hell, they had to reschedule the team presentation on the day it was scheduled to the day after, because they couldn't unfreeze enough players from the clubs for it...

People have been hyping Brazil vs Germany narrative not necessarily the team itself

there was a german weightlifter too that was fed up with doping and he was ok with his lower placement and just made gestures like "what can you do" when he failed his last attempt.

And then the guy that was caught and banned till 2015 pulled a WR out of his ass.



btw the 48kg women wrestling was a great watch.

So the Russian boxer that was controversially declared the winner against the Irish guy had to withdraw from his next match because he is too injured to fight lol

I doubt you will find many countries that organize doping rings themselves rather then just individual athletes, and even less countries who use their intelligence agencies to swap urine samples from the doping labs.

But you know, aside from that...

Paying attention to the basketball tournament for the first time. Are the US supposed to win this, or are the premier NBA pros not even in Rio?

It's not even close to the best team possible but they were still expected to cruise to the gold. However they have not played too well even though they are undefeated. A lot of close games when people thought they'd still blow everyone out

They trailed Australia at half time and had a close win vs them, Serbia, and France I believe

I'm not the most knowledgeable on basketball but from what I understand in some of the games the offense hasn't performed well and against the relevant teams (aka not China or Venezuela) the defense was ass. I think they let France shoot something like 56% and they didnt even use their starters the whole time because it was the last group game and they had already advanced. People have been saying the USA has been using 5 man groupings that don't really make a lot of sense offensively or defensively at different times and they dont really run many plays other than iso ball.

oh hey Durant remembered he was actually a pretty good player this game

from what i've seen of the us games before this argentina game, the defense is absolutely horrible, i am suprised coach k even let them play like that. instead of playing fundamental defense, they are way too aggressive on defense and that has caused a lot of unnecessary fouls and free lanes to the hoop.

offense was never going to be the issue for any american team. its always been the defense and them actually putting effort into it.

The defensive communication of that starting unit is pretty bad. They are losing people. The second unit with George and Butler has better defensive communication. Lowry doesn't gamble as badly as Irving does. The problem is that both George and Butler are one on one players and Lowry isn't the shooter that Irving is. That defensive unit does really well playing with Durant having the game he had tonight.

I actually disagree that offense is a given. Offense takes time to learn. The US team's offense is very simple. It's defense that should be their carrying card because effort and communication doesn't take time to learn.

And Klay Thompson needs to learn how to shoot again. He's been very cold after the Thunder series absent a few stretches.

Why is reddit and so much American media acting like this edition of the olympics is the biggest disaster ever and Brazil is some irredeemable shithole with nothing working? Not even Sochi had this much shit thrown at it.

It's hard to like Brazil right now, booing all the athletes and such. I cannot see this be worth it at all for them.
