Tokyo Olympics

[comrade]

Probably the weirdest, least hyped Olympics of all time.


Athletes are already being removed from the Games due to testing positive for Covid. Feel for them, after all those years of training and sacrifice.

One of the women that my daughter use to Kayak with is in the Olympics. She has sacrificed a lot with her life and worked hard to get there.

I usually look forward to the games, but this year it is just not the same.

Imagine training for something your whole life, dreaming of winning gold and the crowd going nuts, only to learn there will be no crowd

The A-League all stars! Brilliant win. Lachie Wales who scored the first plays for Western United.

Great win, but what a horrible send off. Really soft yellow.

Re: Tokyo Olympics

Man the soccer was great last night. Its been a really impressive year from the youth in the A-League so great to see them deliver.

Tilio who scored the second is seriously good. Also as a Melbourne Coty supporter it was pleasing to see about half the squad have been on our list at some point, including 4 that featured last night.

Pretty slick performance, I was getting a bit frustrated at times that we were trying to possess too much rather than use the space on the wings with the extra man but it was impressive to see the confidence and touch the Olyroos had with the ball.
