We can't be against the World Cup now. We already passed the point of no-return. Billions of dollars were already spent. Unfortunatelly,even opositing press now wants the World Cup, despite Teixeira and their gang... Be more reasonable, RobH. You're a nice guy.

Oh don't be so wet,Dannyel. So you're telling Rob he can't be a nice guy and angry at the same time. Think about it...

He is a nice guy and continue to be IMO, despite his angry against Teixeira. =]

I don't doubt the ice version is more athletic. But when it comes to nomenclature, I'll stick by the terminology the IOC, and the majority of the world, uses: http://bit.ly/ezkVoi

Not to mention their own international federations.

So were you being unecessarily pedantic intoronto or were you genuinly confused which hockey London would be staging a test event for? Hmmmmm... :-D

Man and sheep in your neck of the woods, surely.

...LOL! Good come back...now go pump yourself up on steriods, sport!

What will happen if gay marriage is legalized Alex? Will the rapture occur? Will people drop dead from shock? No all that will happen is gays will be married. Everyone should be treated equally including gays and they deserve to be married.

Today's Games, Mexico VS Cameroon in Group A, Spain VS Holland in Group B and Chile VS Australia in Group B, live on BBC and ITV.

So sleepy.No sports bars are making profits 'cause the match started at 5 AM of weekday.

Today is ENGLAND VS Italy in Group D in Manaus. We also have Colombia VS Greece in Group C in Belo Horizonte, Uruguay VS Costa Rica in Group D in Fortaleza and Ivory Coast VS Japan in Group C in Recife.

Yep, I've never been either, figured the Olympics was my best shot at getting tickets. Lee, Mainad, there's tickets on cosport for other sports still I think.

Rob, had a quick look. Are you buying from the UK cosport or another country? Everything i seem to search for is over 1,000 euro.

It's OK, I figured it out.

Fluke.

Fluke.

Pwaaahaahaaa!

What if I like petitions? I hearby am starting a petition to stop the petition to stop petitions!

instead of signing this petition, everyone please start a disney movie poll to show your support.

lol Rob!!!

Perfect one!

And Bruce, you'd better get back home to avoid your cousin Rob smirking

I'd have taken Aus, but I got stuck with Uganda.

you'd have tried to give me australia, but it would have kept coming out england and you wouldn't have been able to figure out why.

It's almost exactly a repeat of the old Jim Jones days, don't you reckon?

Anyway, I put a reply in Quaker's other status update - as I said there, I have been doing some surreptitious deleting of posts.

Yeah, SSC is a bit more sane at the mo. At least there you get a bit of proper discussion amidst the LA rah rah. Here its just LA rah rah and schoolyard squabbles and worse. Pesto's a piece of work though, eh? But I'm just trying hard not to let the Ruffs and the Pesto's of the world get me riled up and drag me into the fray.

Not sure what to make of pesto. A lot of the time seems reasonable enough (and definitely is in other threads he posts in). but occasionally goes into full RuFF-mode massively overegging Paris' risks and making it sound like a 3rd world city. He's never got personal or nasty though. I think he just enjoys stirring the pot sometimes.

BTW, I don't know if your inbox is full but the reason I did this in a public status update was because the forum wouldn't let me PM you. Just in case you were wondering.

What are you talking about? In Vancouver for 2010 they had the rings in the water like what London will have. It isn't an issue.

In Athens too.

And we'll be nicking Sydney's rings on a bridge idea too. I think there is a difference between what London and Vancouver have done though. London's set are smaller and designed to be floated in front of landmarks. Vancouver's were huge and in one place, and were designed to be seen across the whole harbour.

I am 70% Northern somewhere around Hul - shame it only does North England and not North Britain

Are you RobH Rob?

Yes

..imagine the protests in Brazil...

by that time we expect everyone to be middle class.

The protests here are mainly a middle/upper middle class thing. If we get 2022 expect beheadings of presidents.

seriously, is there a reason why you can't google site:gamesbids.com/forums "rio" though?

it's not chronological? yes, but you can add varying degrees of context to narrow the search.

It just wont do searches on words of three letters or less.

that's why i said GOOGLE it. psh, some journalist.

UEFA's position couldn't be much clearer could it? Unless you don't think throwing stones at black players constitues criminal behaivour, And the fact their coaching team as well as their fans were involved makes it worse!

And England spent a great deal of money preventing hooligans from travelling abroad after 2000. Serbia has clearly done nothing to tackle their problems despite repeated UEFA fines which clearly don't work. Next step IS a ban.

Danny Rose: Two stones hit me in the head. I was slapped twice. There was monkey chants whenever I touched the ball. They have to be banned

Yeah! November heat! Great day for a swim yesterday!

Ugh! November heat wave!

Haha its funny how it works all over the world, in Guatemala November is the begining of the dry season, here in Dubai it seems its gonna be dry too LOL

Poor Nole Congrats Murray!

Congrats to you all!! It was amazing to see, and it was the first tennis match that I actually watched for more than five minutes....

Del Potro would have played a tighter match to Andy.

thats really a pity, Rob

I'm afraid a Fancy Dress party for a mate's 30th and the chance to wear a John McEnroe wig has beaten GBids into second place.

LOL - fair enough! hard to argue with a John McEnroe wig!

Can't say I'm wishing failure, but I do really hope for some political protest or statement that will embarass the regime.

Maybe Putin will mess up his lines when opening the games?

Maybe he will say 'the games of S-Sochi' lol

The subject of the open forum in Tokyo↓is "The Olympics/the Paralympics and culture programme-from London 2012 to Tokyo 2020"

Actually, they don't seem that long ago to my mind. I notice you ignored any mention of Sochi. I kind of feel the same way!

That exactly the point; Sochi has removed the Olympic shine. London and Vancouver seem a long time ago given everything we're reading about Russia's Games.

A penny? Do you really think they're worth THAT much?

A h'penny then.

Tunku Rols

Nuh, he's got a new bee in his bonnet lately - a fatwa against Neil Young and anyone else anti-fracking. Commies don't seem on his radar any more.

Not far off, it was taken from Centrepoint.

I think I meant exact that point - I just wasn't aware that the street Charing Cross Rd changes its name into Tottenham Court Rd - I meant the construction pit exact opposite of the Centrepoint

I thought that it is still the Charing Cross Rd when it meets Oxford Street/Bond Street

FFS, who cares?! That match proved FIFA's irrelevence and Blatter's stupidity in constantly using FIFA as a synonym for football. The whole organisation could collapse next week and we'd still be talking about Barcelona.

Football wins tonight. Simple.

Santos will beat them at the World Club Championship!!! Go Santos!

Ha, that was esier than I thought; 4 tickets to the women's final bought (I think, just waiting for the email).

Gratz!

Congrats

Guys, English journalists made all questions they wanted in all interviews.

This problem was only with the stupid Mr. Teixeira. And it will be like this for a long time, I can see...

how can that be?

something smells
