Boring. Who honestly gives a fuck about drug-addled, trans-gender shit cunts who aren't good enough for their proper national teams?

[John Arne]

Trans-gender? This is the men's tournament, you goon.

[Magic]

Yeah but trannies can compete now without a sex change. All they need is to feel like they are trapped in the wrong bod.

[Pepe]

Magic you mess.

[John]

I don't think you understand what happens in Olympic football, Magic. Put it on the list.

[Pepe]

Just noticed Fiji in there. :drool:

[Bernanke]

It's still up in the air if Zlatan is going, but if that happens. :drool:

[Jimmy Floyd]

Nigeria will win this with immense ease, unless Argentina take Messi or similar shenanigans.

When does the Olympics in general start?

[Pepe]

I reckon we'll repeat gold by beating Brazil in the final again.

[John Arne]

When does the Olympics in general start?

5th-21st August.

I'd love to see more countries taking high-profile national players at the tail of their careers. Seeing Ivan Zamorano win an Olympic medal in 2000 was a bit special.

5th-21st August.

Sounds like a hell of a ceremony.
