[Other Sport] Tokyo Olympics

As well as watching the GB team win earlier, I've followed that up by immensely enjoying watching Sweden take apart the all-conquering (40 games unbeaten) USA.

Just finished SWE 3-0 USA

And Australia have just been awarded the 2032 games, to be held in Brisbane.

That sounds a long, long time ahead. I'll be 70 then, I hope I'm above ground still and fit enough to visit.

That's a long time, an 11 year gap between award and hosting, London only had 7

I'd love the footie WC to go to Oz one day. That would be awesome and well overdue.

Awesome to have the Olympics in the background while working, should be a fun day tomorrow with the men's football getting going as well.

A chance to get a glimpse of Cucurella at 8:30 when Spain take on Egypt. And MacAllister should start for Argentina when they go up against Australia at 11:30.

And so it begins.



PS No idea what skeet shooting is, it could be the one where people fire rifles at the other people sliding down the hill on a tea tray? But don't quote me on that,

That's a real shame for Amber

And for anyone who was planning to watch the skeet shooting.

I think I may have had a negligent discharge…

10-3 win for the Netherlands in the damen voetbal

I live in Tokyo (more or less) and I didn't realise it had started.

Skeet shooting was one of the few (possibly the only) mixed gender competition in the Olympics... until 1992, when a woman won and the IOC decided to split the competition..

Mac Allister starting for Argentina at 11:30. Must be available somewhere online, I would presume

Live on '7 Mate'.

Where Beckham thwarted the Argies with the penalty.

Losing 1-0 to Australia [emoji849].

Tudor Baluta is on the bench for Romania.

Marc Cucurella, who we're apparently looking to sign, was an unused sub for Spain.

Kaoru Mitoma, who we're apparently looking to sign, is 'injured' in the stands for Japan.

Argentina down to 10, shocking call by the ref.

Yep, terrible decision.

All of the equestrian events (Dressage, Show Jumping, Eventing) are mixed.

Tokyo Olympics dying on its arse before it has even properly started.
