Ladies Footie Team GB 0-0 at half time with Japan, this one really could go either way.

Anyone notice they put up 4 mins injury time then the ref blew up bang on 45 min :crazy:

One of interest to me is Paul Drinkall who beat a Austrian in the first round of the men's table tennis.
Have known Paul (and his family since he was a young lad).

Just seen that he holds the 21 fastest ever times in the event.

That's some achievement. :clap:

Britain's two-time defending champion Andy Murray has withdrawn from the men's singles at the Tokyo Olympics with a minor thigh strain. He’s one of very few sportsmen I really dislike, don’t know why but I just can’t stand him.

Just reminds me of Marlon Dingle in Emmerdale :shock:

During most of his career, whenever he looked like losing, he would always be holding his shoulder or limping - so he had an excuse. Not my favourite sportsman either. Some of these sportsmen don't seem to understand that fans, supporters, will forgive a loss as long as the effort is there. Losing to a better player 'on the day' is no disgrace.
I once played against Don Revie.
