Olympic football GB v UAE

[editor]

Nice goal from the old fella Giggs!

 

[editor]

Much better performance from Team GB so far.

 

[editor]

No one else watching this? It's on BBC3, by the way (and on the BBC website).

 

[editor]

I'll keep on talking to myself then

Great work from Bellamy there. He's putting in an awesome performance.

 

[ddraig]

so it's only 'the Welsh' who have scored for gb so far?
weds game at millennium stadium is a sell out

 

[twistedAM]

I might watch the Spain Honduras second half. Honduras are 1-0 up and if it stays tat way Spain are out
Loads of yellow cards so far so could be a tasty one.

Flicking between this, the hockey, and the swimming. Does look like a better performace, and the UAE are repeating there 'distinctly better than expected' showing too.

 

[agricola]

Sinclair clearly learned that from the Welsh.

 

[editor]

What a sweeeet goal!

 

[agricola]

Team GB have turned into Brazil all of a sudden?

 

[editor]

Beaut of a pass from Bellamy too.

I wonder if there will be space for him in Brendan Rodgers 180-page, 15-years-in-the-making plans.

meh... UAE 119th FIFA ranked....

Was it a good pass from Bellamy? He basically passed straight to the goalkeeper. It was only coz the goalie fucked up that the pass went to Sinclair.

Good to see Sturridge finishing like Ramieres

 

[The Octagon]

meh... UAE 119th FIFA ranked....

Higher than GB then

Bit of an odd game to be at, atmosphere was very different to a normal match (though no band so that's at least one plus).

Couple of good goals, but definitely still look like a team that doesn't know each other very well, and UAE got in behind us far too many times. I thought Bellamy had a good and bad game - was obviously one of our main attacking routes, but very often seemed to want to do to much and ended up not doing much at all.

Oh, and I got to applaud Giggs after his goal and as he went off, so will be forever glad of that

The real reason Bale bunked off! http://www.metro.co.uk/olympics/906667-gareth-bale-snubbed-team-gb-as-they-cannot-win-medals So on that basis there's no point playing for Wales?

 

[belboid]

Bet he wished he'd turned out for them since Adam went and crocked him. Again

Or spurs

If that's true he's an utter cunt. If.

In twenty years time there will be a lot of athletes from all over the world with his looks.

Watch out for young footballers with eyes too close to each other, exceptionally hairy chests and a penchant for their brothers missus etc.

No, just Swansea City.

 

[Gingerman]

Spain out eh? Still be a bit greedy if they won Olympic Gold in the football as well.
