Footballs, football. I've never had an interest in it, not even for the world cup. Its one of the few events I don't watch at the Olympics.

How many more to go? Are they ANYwhere near a quarter final?
not sure, think they may have gone into a semi.
The quarter-finals of the men's volleyball is on the 8th August.
There are 6 heats every 2nd day to the 6th.
We were watching the women's beach volleyball Fluffs.

Commentator said it wasn't their national anthem but it is the British national anthem. The English lads sang it but it isn't Englands National anthem.
WOW the 15yr old Lithuanian girl Ruta Meilutyte

I watched it all, far more exciting than yesterdays race.
Lots of action throughout the race
Can't say I watch a lot of road racing but if that's what it's normally like I'll be following it a lot closer in future

Same here, my other half loves it and I don't usually take a lot of notice, but I will now
So you'll not know that there was sabotage at the TDF. Tacks thrown on to road

There was loads of punctures to day too. Don't think it was tacks though
Just seen Josh Taylor get through to the last sixteen in the boxing
Well done Becky in the pool
Nah, you didn't Roxan . Well not me anyway

Also the coverage by NBC (who bought the broadcasting rights here, one of the main TV networks here) is crap. Anyway sorry if I annoyed anyone.
The bbc has 50[ish] channels covering it on sky
I like that screen idea announcing the swimmers

You didn't one bit at all as far as I'm concerned Roxan.
