Maxvorstadt: When will Neymar get an Oscar?
He`s a brilliant actor, even the referree believed him that he was fouled!
And that final kick? What a beautiful interpretation of a winning goal. ;)

Well, Belgium hasn't earned a lot of medals yet so as usual we look upon our neighbors and then BOOM one news surely caught my attention with the French Elodie Clouvel winning the silver medal two days ago in penthatlon. It wouldn't have raised my eyebrow if I didn't saw her picture:

I'm looking forward to it!

I have a lot of love for South Korea. I don't think I could take living that close to someone that fucking nuts like they do. :P

PainOfSalvation: It was a terrible first quarter. But then we started to play and keep up with them. If we play defense like we did vs Australia we will have bigger chances but those guys will have more rebounds than any team and they will punish every mistake you make. We will see. I wish you goodluck vs Australia tomorrow for bronze medal, i'm cheering for you.

nepundo: Thanks! I'll be cheering for Serbia for sure. We've had a great generation (quite old now, and I'm afraid tomorrow they'll be too tired to beat Australia, btw), but I've been amazed for decades at the constant flow of talent you guys produce in a variety of sports, but specially basketball.

Just look at Teodosic now. The guy always looks like it's Sunday morning and he just woke up after a crazy night, and then he gets the ball and does what he does... That's pure talent, man. There's no comparing the physical play of most American players to the likes of him (Bodiroga, Djordjevic himself... pardon the spelling :D)

Speaking of which, here's some (short) motivation for tomorrow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQEzmPKdqt4 :)
Congrats on third place! That was very close but you made it! ^.^

And yes, we are sport nation, both team sports and individual. Atm we suck in football so much, our national league is terrible even though we have few individuals who play for the best clubs in the world. I feel sorry for Djokovic though, was hoping he would bring us gold medal in tennis. C'est la vie.

This was... something else. And looked up and found a more proper video just uploaded than that bit that cuts and loops that The Guardian included in their article.

Thanks again :) And I'm really sorry for you guys. I really don't understand how that could happen given the performance of both teams in the tournament :(

I was sort of expecting that guy to go one step further when he was left in his underwear there :))

We were leading 14-11 for the first few minutes and then everything went downhill from there. Lots of mistakes, no defense, lost balls, no rebounds, bad % shooting (for 3 points especially)... Americans were hitting everything they shot. They punished every mistake, like i thought they would. Almost as double rebounds than us as well. Our worst game on Olympic games. If we had Bjelica and Marjanovic, we would have way higher chances for gold medal but it's okay even like this, stay at the top and try your best at any given time. Silver medal is not that bad. I'm glad Spain is there as well. :)
