The ending to the Argentina v Morocco match was nuts.

I must be some sort of psychic because things got even more nutty after that post.

The stadium was cleared because of things being thrown on the pitch and then the goal was ruled off for offsides and play resumed 2 hours after the goal was scored.

Anybody checking out other sports at the Olympics?

For me, other than Canada’s soccer team, I’ll try to catch some volleyball, and some track events.

Kind of. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I watched some Rugby today. I’ll tune in for some tennis, swimming, gymnastics and beach volleyball.

We’ve got plans with friends for the gymnastics finals. I’m going to watch as much of the track and field events as possible too.

Will most likely watch some Judo as we have some of the best judokas out there… maybe a bit of football, boxing and basketball in the later stages.

I saw it, what a crazy game. There were some dodgy Moroccans in the crowd and a strange atmosphere, the ref took the players off and cleared the stadium to continue.The Argentinian’s training facilities were robbed too. In the Spanish game the crowd were with the Uzbekis and I don’t imagine many Uzbekis travelled to Paris.

Juanlu played all 90 plus today. I did not see much, but the highlights looked like he was involved a lot.

Kosovo’s olympic history in Judo:

Rio 2016 - 1 gold medal (Majlinda Kelmendi)

Tokyo 2020/21 - 2 gold medals (Nora Gjakova and Distria Krasniqi)

Paris 2024 - 1 silver medal (Distria Krasniqi) and 1 bronze medal (Laura Fazliu)

Not bad for a country with 1.6m people.

Did you ever do this?

Nahh.

But in general we are much better at individual sports than in team sports :confused:

I missed the match, but damn what a way to end your career.

Safe to say there will be some morbo in the France-Argentina game tomorrow? :yum:
