GB 0 -0 NZ in the ladies competition

Just started the second half. Looks like about 30,000 in the MillStad, and GB have been more wasteful than my toddler son eating his dinner.

I was undecided about Olympic footy until about 20 minutes ago. During half time in this game they did a piece on the mens GB team, interviewing Pearce and Giggs, and trying to build it up like a proper tournament, and I suddenly realised I couldn't give a monkeys about it.

 

[SeagullSongs]

Going to watch Brazil vs Team GB ladies at Wembley on Tuesday! Anyone else going?

 

[Simster]

FFS it's like we've got a shaggable Billy Paynter playing up front for us.

 

[Simster]

Mind you, that was quite good.

 

[TheBlueAndWhiteStrips]

I ditched the GB girls to watch France Usa its currently 2-1 France after 25mins

 

[El Sid]

Goooooooooooooaaaaaaal!

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Watching both games and both France and the US are MUCH better than GB

 

[Questions]

Am trying my hardest to appreciate the GB and New Zealand women's match at the moment.

Honest I really am.

Are you insinuating Billy Painter wasn't,t shaggable ?

Are you insinuating Billy Painter wasn't,t shaggable ?

Yes. Isn't it Paynter and Marcos Painter?

 

[Simster]

Top defending.

 

[Drumstick]

Watching it now, great free kick.

Yep, I'll be there.

Still plenty of tickets available I think too... EDIT - Yep there's so many tickets available you can buy them in batches of 30

 

[Gregory2Smith1]

just done some channel surfing on french tv and stumbled on france-usa

advert boards say london 2012

looked remarkably like hampden park

 

[Stat Brother]

What chance does NSC think the Men have?

I must admit I have no interest as I don't see 'pro' soccerball as an Olympic sport.

Is it group, quarters, semi and final, or is there a second round?

How far do we get?

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Latest from Hampden Park ... "We apologise for the delay in kick-off, due to an issue behind the scenes".

Colombia v North Korea.

This is probably more exciting than anything that will happen on the pitch.

Anyone else going along to Korea-Gabon? If I had any other tickets for an event at the Games (yes I know there are still lots out there but not got enough money to justify prices of most of what's left) I'd jack it in for Worthing friendly, but as this isn't the case, it'll be my first game at the new Wembley.
