I'm enjoying the Rugby 7s, especially with no commentary. I do like getting to hear everything the referees say and it's refreshing to see a good relationship between officials and players.

Argentina vs Morocco, unbelievable, never seen anything like that.
Did VAR disallow the argie goal when the players were off the field?

I bet that went down well.

Report i read said disallowed 2 hours after it was scored 👀

Apparently there are three minutes left to play, but its all up in the air whether match will resume etc etc
Part of a match report

Argentina’s opening football match at the Olympics against Morocco descended into chaos after a 105th-minute stoppage-time equaliser was ruled out by VAR nearly two hours after it was scored.

The reigning men’s world champions were forced to take cover when missiles and firecrackers were thrown at them by sections of the Morocco support, before fans invaded the pitch and caused the game to be suspended before the final whistle.

As players left the field for safety, fans invaded the pitch following the dramatic equaliser in the 15th minute of injury time.

Argentina’s Cristian Medina scored a last-gasp goal to salvage what looked like a 2-2 draw before play was stopped as confusion reigned on the first day of action in Group B on Wednesday

Nightmare start for Paraguay. Lose 5-0 with ten men. Enciso played 74 minutes.
Oh well, looking like we should get him back sooner rather than later then :lolol:

No surprise... Japan my favorites to win the whole thing. Wouldn't surprise me if they take a medal at the World Cup in two years. They've found a golden model how to develop players and are very likely to be "the next Belgium" in that sense.

When are we going to do the "Are you a Pole, Walter?" gag?

I don't want to go too early.

A friend of mine went on the early Eurostar today, to watch Rugby Sevens, a quick meal afterward, and return to London.
That can't be right, surely? Please substitute with the officially-approved NSC version:

"A friend of mine went on the early Eurostar today to watch Rugby Sevens but spent 15 hours queuing at passport control so they gave up and came home again."

I'm guessing Sweden vs Norway from the women's handball tournament is shown on BBC1 tonight?

Recommend it to anyone wanting to watch Swedish ladies get spanked.
