DeuGODS vs. AusWORMS
when????
I want to see you squished and squashed.
Just had hockey training for a good 4 or so hours, so won't be able to write much tonight.
Today's schedule is pretty simple though, literally every game in the men's draw is big and you should 100% definitely watch every match. The best day so far.
Netherlands vs India is a battle for 2nd in pool B, should be a closely contested match with India looking for an upset (India has played really well this Olympics though, so wouldn't be surprising if they won)
Then Ireland vs Canada, a battle for the best of the shittest. Ireland should win for what I believe would be their first Olympic victory.
The result of Argentina vs Germany could either make pool B even closer, or extend Germany's lead. Either way Germany is the favourite here.
Spain vs Belgium is the decider of who takes top spot in pool A. These two teams are often fairly mediocre but have absolutely stepped it up this Olympics. despite their relatively easy pool.
Over to the womens, it's pretty much: Germany wins, Australia wins, USA wins and Britain wins. No need to watch these, the outcome is fairly straight forward.
Gonna have to wait for the knockout rounds mate, so next week maybe.
Hnnng
Hello, where is everyone?
If Argentina get their shit together, they can beat Australia desu (women's)
Shut up right now.
4 hours of training is rough man, you some kind of semi-pro or something?
Don't be mad because your star player is too much of an alcoholic to be in the team
finally
I read an article saying that it wasn't the DUI that led to her getting kicked from the team, it was that she just wasn't good enough...
Would make sense though, the managers of the hockeyroos have made some horrendous decisions for this Olympics.
How the fuck did he miss that shot before the short was called?
He was literally 2 metres away and hit it over the net.
>POO
IN
>LOO
a fucking poo
indian dragflickers are quality desu
She must've had a pretty big drop in form then, last time I saw her play she was GOAT'ing it up desu
Magic
Please don't bully the Indians lads
Wew lads, dirty PIL
lmao gtfo of here Malaysia, even fucken Ireland, Canada and BRAZIL qualifyed for this Olympics.
fucking BRAZIL, a literal amateur team.
tbf brazil only qualified as host nation
Pretty terrible decision though, they can't do shit, especially in the pool they're in.
At least Malaysia is an established hockey nation.
see Also, I'm Indian
poo
based fatkush
they would have got destroyed in either pool desu
I think you meant fastkush
haha saved to my Canadian banter folder
>tfw you'll never be an 18 year old hockey prodigy fucking hockeymeisjes left right and center, and when you're done with those you go to the olympics and fuck all the other athletes
that poo-ish keeper is pretty good desu~~
Well they could have had either Ireland or Canada to at least contest with.
In pool A they have no one.
aye yes i suppose you're right
Both keepers are playing incredibly good.
Really keeping their teams in it 2bh.
These cards are really fucking up India.
Feel sorry for them.
>Indian goaltending
Didn't know it was this good desu

They say that you should be converting 1/3 short corners.
They literally missed FIVE in a fucking row.

Literally just fuck my shit up
I can't see it on channel 7. Is there a stream elsewhere?
IRELAND IS GONNA WIN
It's over now, and I can't find a stream for the Ireland vs Canada game.
Sorry mate.
Also channel 7 only shows Australia's games, cos they're an absolute shit channel.
All good. Just annoying being nigh impossible to find a stream for a specific sport of interest.
>channel 7 only shows Australia's games, cos they're an absolute shit channel.
Wtf do you expect, it's free to air? At least we have 3 different channels, it's certainly much better than NBC's coverage.
Compare that to what broadcasters in most other countries have, channel 7's coverage is absolute bullshit.
A lot of broadcasters have free streaming of almost any and every event at any time.
i really like how players keep stylin with the ball
what did they just throw away after the corner?
also yay
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAL
really nice counter attack desu
fuck

Worst part was that I was actually there
