/edit third like Labour might be
The diving was bloody brilliant by the way.
The one positive (and also a negative) , in the UK we give every sport a go, even crazy shit like that going down the bobsled track on a tea tray when we don't even have a track.
The semis and final for Euro 2020 will be at Wembley. Apparently this came about because the FA agreed to back Germany's bid for 2024. So well done to our FA for giving up on us having a proper tournament that would benefit the whole country* rather than just London.
* I'd support a GB and Ireland bid for the Euros.
Personally I wasn't convinced this Olympics is not doing great until I read this piece trying to explain away what is apparently more than usual booing.

London generates 240% of Wales's GVA per head. I'll flat out assert that Londoners are not 240% happier than the Welsh. Independent Scotland would be poorer, but they might well be happier.
It should be great in Tokyo.
Russia may well have the right to host any international sport removed. And Qatar will just unravel as an utterly stupid idea.
This, of course, requires FIFA to become a clean set-up...
If they don't then Russia.
Yes, Japan will do just fine.
We here in the UK prefer the you're going to get your f*cking heads kicked in.
So the two situations are not in the least comparable in awfulness.
The think that what spoiled WC 2010 was the crap ball that would not fly straight, and of course a woeful England performance.
I am rather enjoying the Rio show. Good effort!
I'm sorry if you've had bad experiences in a football stadium. That doesn't make a bit of difference to the auditory experience being worse hearing a constant single pitch whine rather than background noise of raucous and hostile chanting.
We sung back.
We are dependent on what the broadcasters think important.
Vapid presenters, too many repeats, and a lack of control over what they are getting on the feeds meaning we are not actually seeing key action because of bad choices being made by other broadcasters.
Plus the chopping and changing between BBC 1 and 2 is getting very old.
I suppose it is similar to many developments in sport. Many cricket fans might for example bemoan the "barmy army" contributions to the game.
Anything that encourages engagement and enthusiasm for me is OK.
A lower budget, more restrained games with a few rough 3rd world edges is a pleasant novelty after a dangerous trend to ever more expense and showmanship.
The one competitor that stands out as an Olympic participant just as the founder intended. That single athlete did this country proud many many times over and fearless despite the danger.. It didn't matter that he came last. It really should have been arise Sir Eagle. He bloody earned it more that most that were touched on the shoulders with blade.
The 2018 and 22 decisions should have been thrown out when FIFA imploded. They were clearly tainted.
Sorry to go on about it, but the mention of it just brought back memories of how terrible it was to watch. I really like to get invested in random matches in world cups, and I think for that one I ended up just putting games on mute while watching something else.
You are *so* Primrose Hill.
sittinglying down sports.People do silly things to engage with their sports enthusiastically in ways that I would never do but I understand it's how they like to do it, I can see how it might enhance things for them, things like mexican waves. But vuvuzelas are one example where I honestly don't understand the appeal in the way in which they used them (as a constant drone, rather than intermittent).
Maybe it is a matter of taste, but I really struggle to see that. If I used an airhorn to blast our a tune melodically at a game it would piss off a lot of people, but would probably be bearable. If I blasted in a single note the entire game, however much enjoyment I'm getting from it, it that bearable?
But I've whined on it enough so will stop.
"great pleasures of a game is creative abuse from fans". Priceless.
you really don't understand the essence of football do you.
Nice thought .....I can see some shall we say .....issues.
Winter does make sense there, but will require either a winter break, or alternatively an interesting leveller of the playing field if club games continue similtaneously. Club rugby carries on during six nations etc.
I also used to drive past the race track they intend to use for F1 when on my commute to work. It's in the middle of the desert though....
Oh and Qatar airways business / first really is 5 star.
How about this?
The England Brass band - annoying the bejesus out of anyone
That said, Japan have made such great strides in the 15-man game recently that to lump them in with the also-rans seems a bit unfair. They're in the semis on merit.
If GB don't win it, I hope Fiji do, if only because Fiji get few chances to win Olympic golds.
No point with the Scottish squad of course *nervously looks around for Malc*
Why is archery an Olympic sport and Darts not? The world is missing out.
'German politicians minded to ban the burqa/niqab
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/aug/10/german-minister-to-propose-ban-on-full-face-veils-in-wake-of-attacks
Everything I have proposed as a solution to European Islamism - ban burqa, ban sharia, restrict halal butchery, stop foreign funding of mosques, jail hate speakers, close Muslim schools, close all hardline mosques - will become the norm across Europe in the next ten years.'
Long overdue.
I don't know for certain but it might be for a similar reason that they dominant womens speed skating. Apparently they south Korean authorities targeted events they thought best suited Korean body types then pumped huge funding into them & then don't bother at all with other sports...rather than in Britain if it's a sport we give it a go.
Secret of most sports really.
Apparently a local stole one of the men's judo medalists phones in restaurant...said judo player gave chase & caught him...judo player got black eye...only can imagine what happened to the Brazilian.
Also, the rather casual comment about someone having bad luck to be a woman in a Labour election (and so come last) was brutal.
I like Scotland. But it's not going to go sailing off into the Arctic Ocean. It will still be just as close as and when it becomes an independent country. Liking a country needn't mean a political union with it is necessarily a good thing.
