Discuss all the live action here!

 

[KJ]

A certain South American underdog will be played tomorrow, not in a rush

 

[KJ]

Early red card really turned that match on its head. I actually thought Paraguay might still equalize before HT then 11 on 10 just became too much. Organized team like Japan is not the kind of team to play against down a man

Tennis seems to be a 2 horse race if Joker can get by Nadal in Round 2. I don’t see any and/or combinations with Joker and Carlos. I’d lay up to -150 to get them both but can’t find it.

@pressitup what do you see for Nuss/Kloth beach?

 

[twinkie13]

Those Brazilians are bad ass tho

 

[KJ]

Definitely the first and last time I'm looking forward to the Opening Ceremony simply because it's on the river

 

[CPA-hole]

So there's a Red Zone style channel on Peacock with Scott Hanson? Gold Zone. Oh, my.

 

[pressitup]

@pressitup what do you see for Nuss/Kloth beach?

hard to say for me as I'm not that familiar with them. Cheng the only one with oly experience but doesn't mean much.

 

[pressitup]

REEF girls?

 

[twinkie13]

Meh so far

 

[CPA-hole]

Yeah Refugees.

 

[CPA-hole]

Lol. E-Coli

 

[twinkie13]

Yeah Refugees.

What in the fuck was that?!

 

[twinkie13]

Singing in French is impressive I gotta give her that

 

[CPA-hole]

So far it's like a crappy Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade.

 

[CPA-hole]

The Bhutan boat looks like a floating coffin.

 

[CPA-hole]

The white girl on the Botswana boat looked pretty hot.

 

[KJ]

Like Snoop's gonna remember 2010 in Times Square

 

[KJ]

Cirque du Soleil meets Notre Dame?

 

[twinkie13]

This rocks haha

 

[twinkie13]

Was she headless?! Lol

 

[KJ]

Was she headless?! Lol

It's Marie Antoinette, of course

 

[CPA-hole]

That wasn't bad. Kelly Clarkson is awful. She's said this is so cool about 50 times already.

Yep Snoop needs to be in that seat

 

[pressitup]

looks like a pride parade

 

[KJ]

Be a real bitch if the torch doesn't light because of the rain

 

[CPA-hole]

That marching band is no Grambling.

 

[twinkie13]

Outside the Gaga set, the choreography is loose let’s say.
I mean if I’m noticing, fuck

 

[twinkie13]

I compare everything to China sadly.

That was insane

 

[Gandolf]

Wife and I took an evening cruise on the Siene just last summer right out of Bateaux Mouches which was just on the screen a few minutes ago. It is a great experience, although the champagne provided definitely helped.

But part of what made it great was seeing all the young Parisians hanging out on both sides of the river, it makes the city feel so alive. Some of that is lost in this ceremony. Plus the rain sucks.

 

[KJ]

This torch relay is like one of those movies that never ends yet I can't stop watching

 

[CPA-hole]

The lighting and balloon is pretty cool.

 

[pressitup]

took:
womens vball +700
Cheng/Hughes +350
bibi andreescu -101 vs Tauson

If it's in the Seine isn't it going to depend on when the water tests safely enough?
