Olympics GB Football

On the plus point of Uruguays poor performance this tournament we get Luis and Coates back earlier

You cant really expect the home broadcaster not to be a bit biased when they have the Olympics

The football commentary is the usual BBC **** and the cycling was a bit slapstick but otherwise I think its been pretty good

Oh no.......I understand it to a degree, but its gone over the tipping point for me, and on the flip-side, as the host broadcaster, I think they should have a responsibility to be a bit more balanced in their focus for such an "international, welcoming event"......(not my words, the words of the IOC).

FWIW, I'm sure other country broadcasters are similarly all over the shop, I just would have expected a bit more from the BBC given its being hosted in London, if you know what I mean.

For that reason alone i'm hoping for a GB win

Ramirez.......bar.......sign for Liverpool.

[Gibbo]

Decent hit Ramirez thought that was in.

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

Great strike that. Unlucky

[McDermotX]

Its left to Lawrenson to reel in Pearce (I assume it Jonathon Pearce)........Butland steps 2 inches to right to save middling FK.

Great Suarez is done with Olympics , back to LFC !!!

[baitman]

commentators and press will be comparing this to the battle of agincourt, waterloo, defeat of the spanish armada, etc

[McDermotX]

Can't argue with that result in some ways, as Uruguay rarely looked to be bothered (although they upped it a bit in the second half)..........Britain didn't really look like they knew how to approach the last 25mins or so, but apart from the Suarez chance and Ramirez crossbar effort, it was relatively comfortable.

Anyway, get your **** together lads and get your arses back to Liverpool.

Great Britain look good to me. I predicted they would do well and I think they are in with a chance of winning it

Can't see them beating Brazil, in typical British fan they'll get a Silver medal.

Cant get silver if they dont beat brazil - will go into 3rd place play off
