Ghostsof1915 Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 I'm glad they have made the form in Foil less rigid. I always thought it was silly you had to bring non-foil arm up after a lunge. That's why I always preferred the Sabre. But I didn't have nearly the reaction time for fencing. Here's from 1972 to show what I mean.

UnkNuk Posted July 28 Author Share Posted July 28 Terrific game by our soccer ladies! But I hope the French keeper wasn't too badly injured. That looked pretty serious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnkNuk Posted July 28 Author Share Posted July 28 Meanwhile, our Rugby Sevens women got smacked 33-7 by New Zealand. And I may have misunderestimated China. They stomped Fiji 40-12. Which means tomorrow's game (7 am) against China may be a lot tougher than I thought. Lesson: Don't make predictions about a sport you know nothing about after one or two games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't even the last supper (which wasn't even a contemporary painting of the supposed actual event anyway). Best comment: "If some of you weren’t so busy trying to end the Dept. of Education, you might know this. Loosen the clutch on your pearls and get your panties pulled out of your A** " I really wish they had included the scene of the French castle guards mocking King Arthur.... "Now go away, or I shall taunt you a second time!" 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tackle, all fight for the ball and rip it away from the person on the ground then....just keep going. Bingo. It's a 14 minute gang fight. And "just keep going" is right. Even after the horn blows to end the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimito Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 (edited) All other third place teams have 3 points already so Canada probably must secure the 2nd spot in their group to advance. Edited July 29 by Jaimito Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely insane save in the crucial time. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are always tough. Men or Women's teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously it’s a must win but if they do win, unless I’m mistaken, they are guaranteed 2nd place, I see no scenario where they’d finish 3rd with a win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnkNuk Posted July 29 Author Share Posted July 29 Looking at Monday's schedule, here's what jumped out to me: A lot of Women Rugby Sevens stuff: 7:00am Canada plays China 11am to noon: Classification Rounds (whatever they are) Noon: Rugby Seven quarterfinals (I'm assuming Canada will be in them) 11:30am Swimming Women's 400 Individual medley. Presumably Summer MacIntosh goes for a medal after the heats earlier in the day. 12:41pm Swimming Womens 200 freestyle. Canadian Mary Sophie Harvey goes for medal.

Sometimes trained refs dont understand glancing/blocked punches but that’s more so on the professional side. It used to be on the amateur side you would have 4 judges, one on each side of the ring and 3/4 had to input “score” when a punched landed/scored. Based on your description maybe that system has changed and judges have independent scorecards now. Been awhile for me since Ive followed the amateur side closely. Ill have to watch the fight you referenced 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell of a run and then even goes on to make a great feed that leads to the goal. Shades on Tambellini on Erat for those that remember. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-dlc- Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Can't stand Djokovic....turned on the match just as Rafa started turning it around. Let's go Rafa! Liked him ever since I learned his idol was Andre Agassi. In his corner for sure. Screw cocky, arrogant Djokovic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
