no because they're mostly youth teams

They're allowed 3 players over the age of 23

IT'S COMING HOME

Ronaldo is gonna play and he's gonna TSUUU it up for us

that's why i said mostly

How am I supposed to tell the Swedish players and Nigerian players apart?

who here /LIFELONG/ FIJI FAN?

I guess so, I wasn't even aware Germany was going. Looks like an easy group too

i would watch it if Messi was playing just to have a good laugh at how he would do against 23 year olds

>getting memed on by finnish national television

i hope this faggot is forgotten about in 10 years

Neymar is playing 2bf

>not including the offside goal

HARAM

Is he really or you are just memeing?.

It would be funny if he starts owning a bunch of kids.

yea it will be fun

Im pretty sure he already announced he wouldnt be there. thank dog

>Ronaldo misses the start of La Liga in order to play in a shitty Olympics with a bunch of kids

That would be hilarious

he can barely play the euros know way he could survive rio

It's coming home la

kek is this what Finland does every time they fail to qualify?

No US = no watch. What a joke that Fiji gets in there but not the US.

>implying 1 of 7 Tsunaldo can win LaLiga16-17

hahahahah

Why wouldnt I watch it? Not like I have anything better to do.

>iraq v south africa
>fiji v south korea
>honduras v algeria

YEAH CAN'T WAIT SENPAI. HOLD ME BACK!!!!!

Of course, football is the only olympic sport I care about. With Italy not qualified I will shamelessly root for Japan.

wait... rio is still going to happen?

there is no way it won't happen

too much money pumped into it already, it's too late to fail now.

Sure, why not?

No one is even watching the Olympics

>germany
>brazil
Will the history repeat itself?

>Mex7c0 current gold medal holders
should be fun

>fiji
>iraq
>honduras
>mexico
Memelympics

Yeah as I'm half Iraqi. Would be nice seeing >us get humiliated by Neymar again.

yeah, i'll watch. wtf else am i supposed to do with my life?

Watch better events.

Hoo-boy, I can't wait to see that Fiji/Worst Korea match!

Luis Suarez and Memevani played in 2012, but obviously there was no other tournament for South American teams that year so they were free.
I don't think many clubs will let the players do both tournaments. Even Nerman had to skip Copa America to play the Olympics. Messi is already confirmed out.

Nerman better win this after taking a vacation during Copa America

I think you will, European and American teams will be weakened because of the summer tournaments. Maybe watch out for Niggeria, although their group looks quite evenly matched.

plenty of hours in the day to do both.

To be fair some decent players are going to play at it:
>Neymar
>Thiago Silva
>Zlatan
>Lindelöf
>Mikel
>Musa
>Ighalo
>Funes Mori
>Lanzini
>Correa
>Dybala
>Icardi
>Vietto
>Calleri

Also read somewhere Reus might be going with Germany.

Fiji meme.

Should be good. Not as if I've got anything better to do.

>youth
Irrelevant. If FIFA stopped being whiny bitches and let the Olympics be the crown jewel of the sport, maybe. But until then, no.

Dybala is confirmed out.

He didnt get Juventus permission to play.

>Irrelevant. If FIFA stopped being whiny bitches and let the Olympics be the crown jewel of the spor
I don't want to replace the World Cup with a fucking medal

>Ighalo is considered a decent player

What a time to be alive lads

>nigeria vs sweden

can't make this up

>it's a """"youth""""" competition where Nigeria sends 30 year olds and nobody calls them out episode

African football is hilarious
The Togo national team was supposed to play a friendly against some other country, they lost 13-0 and then the other team realised it wasn't the Togo team but a bunch of people wearing the Togo kit.

>Fiji
>Iraq
>South Africa

top keks

rooting for Fiji

Then who was phone?

>olympics
>team sport
the inclusion is retarded in the first place

Handball is a pretty great deal, with the Olympics on par with the WC.

This

It's a bit silly with Euros or World Cup literally every year and then Olympics on top every fourth.
I wish they scrapped the Euros alltogether at least, or just followed a similar calendar to football.

Sweden
Yes

it probably is because nobody watches handball desu

Umad ur meme team is trash?

Is not necessary to say that you are half Iraqi not with that flag.

CHI

US lost to Honduros and then Colombia on a play-ff.

They should delete this shitie tournament

>t. Assmad his country didn't qualify

You seriously underestimate our capacity(especially the cariocas') to fuck things up, netherling.

Must be hard when your belly is covering your eyesight.

Duly noted, I'll also assume that you are an impoverished drug-dealing fiend who lives in a godforsaken slum.

#pray4fiji

basketball's biggest prize is the gold medal, WC is a distant 2nd

it's really mostly football that doesn't give a fuck about it and as far as I know the only one with an U-23 limit in team composition

I'm watching it for Nerman

So civil war?

nah
i watch football 365 days a year, it's nice to take a break once in a while and enjoy weird niche sports, like archery or pole vault
it's the comfiest sporting event of all, and football imo ruins it
it should be removed in place of wrestilng, i'm outraged one of the original ancient-times events was cut

i read an article in the paper this morning about gang members storming into a Rio hospital to rescue a fellow wounded gang member. they killed a patient and a nurse. turns out that hospital is one of the 5 that has been assigned to treat tourists during the Olympics, and is the closest to the stadium that will hold the opening ceremony.

nba finals has higher ratings than basketball olympics in murrikka

for other countries it maybe is bigger, because its a shit tier sport compared to football in non murrikan countries --- no other competition to aim for, that is prestigious enough/people care about, like EURO or so

I'm not talking about club competitions, of course NBA overshadows everything else. When national teams are involved, the Olympic gold medal is a step above the WC.

the point is its not saying much because nobody cares about the WC in the first place

murikka has NBA, and the rest of the world doesnt care

Must be hard when you can't afford glasses.

I guess? I don't know what kinda point you wanna make.

Basketball's still pretty big in Spain and in the Balkans, for what it's worth.

He's pretty good senpai. Did well last season before he and Deeney dropped off.

Literally makes no sense
Just leave the banter to competent nations, cuck

>Fiji
Why

yeah I'm watching we choke for the 50th time.

the (original) point is (most) people dont watch olympics for the team sport desu senpai

Well yes.
You don't do compilations in Portugal?

>you will never be the Dallas Cowboys of soccer
why live

why isn't GB there this year?

only happens in the olympics

4 silver medals.

>figi
>iraq
>korea
>honduras

>nerman ditched the copa team to play in this shit

Why does group B has two swedish teams?

hahaha xD good one

>nerman ditched the copa team to play in this shit
a chance for the gold medal, he has the rest of his career to try win the other international competitions

>*two african teams
wasted opportunity, Mex7c0

Because muh separate national teams.

gold medal is meaningless when its against weak competition without even the teams best players, they are only allowed like 3 players over 21 or 23, this is essentially almost youth tournament tier

Stopped reading at southafrica to be honest.

>07

It actually has 3

>Congolombia
>Sweden
>Niggeria

But only 2 out of the 3 are muslim though, so that's why I went with swedish

>70
It keeps happening.

reminder that ryan giggs played at 2012 olympics for team GB at the age of 38

The ride never ends!
