Wow, big respect to Stuart Pearce. Come on Great Britain!!

Wow, big respect to Stuart Pearce.

Indeed

 

[Graz]

I think it's the wrong decision. I don't understand why people are criticising the decision to select Micah Richards though.

I think Beckham or Lampard would've been better than Giggs/Bellamy though.

 

[Mawsley]

I'm struggling to even find the effort for a *meh* and a shrug.

 

[Lako42]

**** off everyone moaning about Beckham not being in the squad, including the news constantly banging on about it.

 

[Macky]

Never mind all that, why the **** are they calling themselves "Team GB" for ****sake? What the **** is that all about? Were they worried that the players and fans wouldn't be able to spell 'Britain'?

 

[Dour]

Indeed. Lineker making himself look like a twat when lined up with other supporters of Beckham such as that **** Corden.

 

[Miles Away]

I think he shoulda gone personally.

But certainly don't care enough to set fire to myself in the street or anything.

Up in block 510

Hotel booked couple of months ago, weekend in London for me and my lad

 

[The Major]

I've got a ticket for the semi at Wembley. I might be getting rid of a ticket to the quarters at Wembley too if I can't talk anyone into taking it off me.

 

[Blue Maniac]

I'm going to Honduras v Morocco and Spain v Japan, at Hampden Park.

Does anyone know what the record is for distance between the actual location of an Olympic event and the 'host' city?

I don't know what the record is, but the equestrian events in the last olympics were held in Hong Kong, which must be around 1,500 miles from Beijing.

At the Sydney Olympics they played football in Adelaide which is nearly 900 miles away (according to the internets)
