Women's football [guffaw] - England vs Cameroon.

I've LOLd in the first 90 seconds - complete air kick.

And it wasn't even one of those situations when you knock it with your standing foot and swipe with your kicking foot. Nope, it was pure miss.

I'm all for women playing football, but it is atrocious.

It's like watching an unbalanced, tripping over their feet, unable to kick the ball hard enough yet, U12 team playing on a full size pitch and sticking the person who can do forward rolls at a young age in goal to jump *on* the ball as apposed to infront of it.

The quality is quite poor to be fair.

[Neil Young]

Ditto. I don't get it and never will. All this pretend "team" **** when it's an individual sport. Why do they have to overcomplicate it? Just have a race and the fastest wins.

Why don't they just let the bowler and the batter have a straight contest rather than all this fielding nonsense? Let him run up and try to hit the wicket and the batter can hit the ball around. Then swap over and see who bats for longest.

And team GB have scored a well worked goal.

Just heard Millar talking about Wiggins winning gold "next time, when it's Brad against the world" - what is this?

The time trials are on Wednesday . He was also talking about how no other countries in the peloton helped them real in the leading group today saying it was GB against the rest of the world.

I have zero understand of cycling, but I'm gathering they work in 'teams' so why should anyone else look out for any other nation? If GB wanted it, they could have attacked, no?

If teams all.contribute it makes it easier for the peloton to come back.

Gold No1 for Phelps coming up?
