The biggest load of nonsense that has ever been posted on this forum.

Btw where’s Dave Christensen Mr Hockey ?

Don't know.  Before the tournament Ch 7 were advertising he would be commentating.

Yep,  just don’t seem to bring them home.

It is great to see India return to the upper echelon of men's hockey.

BH I wouldn't call tonight a 1976 or 1984.. But Belgium where defently more composed in the penelty shootout.And looked winners early in the shootout.
Huge effort for the Kookaburras to beat Holland and Germany to get to the final.

Just looked LH there's no Weightlifting tonight..Must be on tomorrow.Just looked at the Weightlifting medal tally. China on top with 7 gold and no other countries have won more than 1 Gold.
Eastern Europeans traditional winners at previous Olympics.

Boomers our last chance for another medal in the team events.

Been pretty disappointing team wise all round.

Opals finished 8th which is by far their worst performance in their Olympic history.

Stingers and Doplpins faded badly.

Olyroos never got started and the Matilda's gave themselves every chance only to walk away empty handed.

Women's Hockey finished there usual 5th which is about the same as the last few games - a long way from he team of 96 and 2000.
Kookas ended up with their traditional Silver, I think that's 5 finals for 1 gold.

Rugby sevens was a blow out to Bazza....women were defending champs too.......though TBH not sure why the sevens are even it.....

42 they have an appalling record for losing in big finals at the Olympics normally as the favourite or in the top 3 in betting.
That would be reasonable grounds to call them 'chokers' I would have thought!

yep they bowed out so early I forgot about them, defending champs very disappointing 

men’s water polo ended up losing a game to Montenegro, unbelievable
