Best of luck to the Olyroos who kick off their campaign shortly against Argentina.

1-0 Olyroos at half-time with Argentina down to 10.

Massive upset brewing here.

Too hot to work so watching Richarlison tearing the young Germans to bits here.
Hat trick in half an hour.

TILIOOOOOO

The Olyroos LEAD mighty Argentina 2 nil.

Great win.

Brazil lead Germany 3 nothing at HT.

When’s first competitor in charge

“Ireland predicted to win four medals for rowing at the Olympics and favourites for three of these events. Women’s single and 4- and men’s lightweight and heavyweight double sculls
The women’s 4- is going well and could medal apparently …”

Anybody going has been warned that if they drink alcohol outside of their hotel room the IOC will immediately withdraw their accreditation.
