My son, Sean, played soccer at a pretty high level until he got his teeth knocked out. Not a good look for a dentist. He used to tell me don't think soccer is a non-contact sport. The Brazilian women were on the fringe of multiple yellow cards. They got away with a lot of contact from refs with a "let em' play" mind set. The US women's gold in that kind of game is a real tip your hat moment.
Also, the men's 400 X 4 relay just concluded with the US team taking the gold with a new world record. These guys are not human.
USA....USA....USAMission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off. It's M B-Ball ..... or hockey or volley ball or name your college sport favorite time ...... until next year.

The ChiComs take a one gold medal lead into the final day. Here are the events where we can pick up a gold.
Women’s marathon.
Women’s weightlifting (+81kg).
Women’s volleyball
Women’s freestyle wrestling (76kg).

We have a shot, but if we don’t do it, just know one thing: it’s Liney’s fault.Attached FilesLast edited by AlabamAlum; August 11, 2024, 12:12 AM."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham Lincoln

And while we’re talking about games, I would be remiss if I failed to mention the greatest award ceremony mistake in the history of mankind:
In 2012 Kazakhstani trap shooter, Maria Dmitriyenko, won the gold medal at the Kuwait International Shooting Grand Prix. Organizers didn’t have the Kazakh national anthem loaded, so they did a YouTube search and found what they thought was it. But it wasn’t. It was the fake Kazakh anthem from the movie Borat, which they mistakenly played at the award ceremony.
Here are those lyrics they played:
Kazakhstan, greatest country in the world,
All other countries are run by little girls.
Kazakhstan, number one exporter of potassium,
All other countries have inferior potassium.
Kazakhstan, home of Tinshein swimming pool,
Its length 30 meter, width 6 meter.
Filtration system a marvel to behold,
It remove 80% of human solid waste.
Chorus:
Kazakhstan, Kazakhstan, you very nice place,
From plains of Tarashek to northern fence of Jewtown.
Kazakhstan friend of all except Uzbekistan,
They very nosy people, with bone in their brain.
Kazakhstan, industry best in (the) world,
We invented toffee and trouser belt.
Kazakhstan's prostitutes cleanest in the region,
Except of course for Turkmenistan's.
Chorus:
Kazakhstan, Kazakhstan, you very nice place,
From plains of Tarashek to northern fence of Jewtown…
Come grasp the mighty penis of our leader,
From junction with the testes to tip of its face!
The Kazakhs were understandably upset and organizers apologized held another award ceremony.
A Kazakh shooting gold medallist is stunned as the comedy national anthem from the film Borat is played for her victory in Kuwait instead of the real one.
Here is a photo of Maria Dmitriyenko on that podium fighting back shock, tears, and laughter:

US girls basketball about to tip against the seldom-bathed, cheese-eating female surrender monkeys.
Help me overcome Liney’s America-hating boycott by joining me in cheering the ladies on to victory.Last edited by AlabamAlum; August 11, 2024, 11:09 AM."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham Lincoln
