Re: The Sports Thread
Go Ireland, Greece, Jamaica, and Germany! (I've got some Irish and German in me)
Cycling is tomorrow, I'm going to see that (if it's on t.v., hopefully it is).
Is there a schedule somewhere? I'd like to know what else is when.

Re: The Sports Thread
I'm primarily cheering for my home country, but we can also throw England, Australia, Norway, Spain, Mexico and Japan in there for countries I wouldn't mind doing well.
Good luck to Norway and Mexico, though. They don't usually win much.

Re: The Sports Thread
Nah, it really doesn't.
It's pretty much expected that the major countries (US, China, Russia) will win the Olympics anyway.
I don't know if that pattern will break soon.

Hehehe, it's not about who wins or not, it's about how world shares a common intrests of sports and enjoy!
Re: The Sports Thread
Well, they have very big populations so it's easier for them to find talents. However, Olympics are still a competition and no matter from where you are, you play to be the best from all.Wanderer wrote:Nah, it really doesn't.It's pretty much expected that the major countries (US, China, Russia) will win the Olympics anyway.
But what I get exited about mostly is volleyball! I just can't wait for matches to begin. And it appears that Poland has the greatest chances to get gold medals =D

I like watching the games when I'm with the band, but not much else.

Re: The Sports Thread
Hmm, not many. Oh well...
So how is your team(s) doing? I haven't been paying much attention to college football this year, but I might go to a game next month.
Anyway, I've already mentioned elsewhere that I live in Washington, and I'm loving the Seahawks defense so far this year. I also hope the Bengals can take their division.
Oh, and hockey season should be starting in the next month or so, hopefully.

Re: The Sports Thread
Lockouts are detrimental to all parties involved - the players, the coaches, the team staff, the owners and most importantly the FANS. I know how shocked I was at the NBA lockout last year, so I hope the NHL situation gets sorted out and soon.Seth wrote:Hopefully but I'm not hlding my breath.

Unfortunately it doesn't look like it will. Oh well, guess I'll just have to get my sports fix from the Pistons this year......

Re: The Sports Thread
Yeah, I just saw the score. The Giants are up 7-0. Though they still have quite a bit of time to come back. I mean, it's only the top of the fifth.

Re: The Sports Thread
Completely ridiculous. We gave up a 3-1 lead. All we needed was or win.

I'll just pencil in the Cardinals for second place, since we lost to the Giants.

Yeah, I'd like to see Seattle again, but at least OKC is old Seattle team. But I read few times, that NBA could be again in Seattle

Re: The Sports Thread
Yeah they've been discussing it since about June or July. They don't know whether to put the team over in the old arena, build a new one in SoDo, or across the lake in Bellevue.jopencjusz wrote:But I read few times, that NBA could be again in Seattle
The good thing is that the city stills owns the name "SuperSonics". (I actually have been cheering for/following OKC since the move)

Re: The Sports Thread
Well, OKC at this moment are continuators of Sonics tradition and history. But the best thing was that they changed the name, maybe one day we'll see both - OKC and Seattle in the league

Re: The Sports Thread
Definitely room for both OKC and Seattle in the league - both cities have excellent fan support and passion for the game. No offense to Kings fans, but I really thought they were going to be the franchise that switched back to Seattle. The team just doesn't seem to be making any real noise in the league regardless off all the talent they've got on the roster (Evans, Cousins, now Robinson, Thompson, Thornton). Truth be told it is young talent and may need time to emerge (just like the Thunder), but if they don't adjust I wouldn't be surprised to see more rumors of movement.

Re: The Sports Thread
From time to time there are rumors about Kings. It's always about Cousins and his bad behavior, but it's always something

So weird that we had this whole discussion a mere week before it came about - let's put in our Playoff predictions now!

Re: The Sports Thread
Glad the lockout is nearly over finally, looks like it could be a long 10 years until the threat of another
I'd really enjoy a Knicks-Thunder Final, but New York really need to prove they're made of sterner stuff (no pun intended David Stern). As we all know the Playoffs are unpredictable and have ejected top seeds many times before, in recent memory the Spurs(1)-Grizzlies(8) series of 2010-11.
Would have loved to have seen Nash compete for a ring but that looks highly suspect now
