This is either because:
a) There's a similar thread elsewhere on the board that I haven't seen. In which case - lock, destroy and burn this thread ASAP
or
b) No one on a video game forum has any real interest in sport... possibly.
Anyway, for those not in the know, the Olympics are currently on in London (I should know, it's been on the news for the past seven years...). How do you think your team is faring at the moment?
As a fan of team GB, I'm kind of surprised that we haven't won more medals yet... (This was written on Day 4)
I never really expected us to do amazing in Archery, Shooting, Fencing and Judo, but I thought we'd have put up a bit more of a fight... It seems that in almost every sport we play, there's always a British competitor going out.
However, I do admire the spirit of most of our Olympians (such as Tom Daley, Rebecca Adlington and the entire Rowing team
) and I really do hope they win something out of these games, they deserve it!At least we have the Rowing and Track cycling finals to come, so all hope is not lost! yet...
Anyway, how do you rate your teams performance (and the Games as a whole) so far?

Apparently Britain took Gold and Silver in some event today so that's pretty good I guess.

Same here, honestly. It's not like I'm anti-nationalist or anything; it's just that I feel like a giant phony supporting athletes I previously hadn't heard of.
Fencing's been my favourite sport so far; lots of action and drama throughout. Thinking about taking it up when University restarts. Judo's pretty cool too.

...I'm interested in keeping track of how many golds GB has. I know it's odd but I do support my country even though I'm not watching/
I Do LPs. Here's a link to watch them on my channel on YouTube.

Maybe it's some kinda home advantage for why GB is doing so well.
About the only thing I cared about in the olympics happened today.
Andy Murray (beloved Scot) finally beat Federer who has kicked him out of almost all tournaments he's been in near finals to take Gold for Scotland.
Yeah happy about that, he deserved it.

I just hope Neymar fucking wakes up so we can finally get a gold medal in the only thing we're good at.
EDIT: Also, damn that Usain Bolt, that guy can't be human.

Interesting bit about feeling like a phony for not having been previously engaged - I totally agree. There are too many people who will claim to be a Phelps fanatic for the first time ever just because they 'think he's hot' and then next thing you know they have a 25$ poster for no good reason
You dare to insult the courts!?"

Every one of us Scots wept at that moment.
It's a shame him and Robson didn't win the mixed doubles, but the fact that he had already played a tennis match would have given him a bit of a disadvantage. And they still played well.

No medals this time.
Zero.
But suddenly, we’re tired, from a waste of meaningless emotions

EDIT: WELL, SO MUCH FOR THAT. THANK YOU, NEYMAR, HULK AND RAFAEL, YOU GUYS REALLY DID A NICE JOB OUT THERE NOT PLAYING SHIT AGAINST MEXICO WHO IN TURN HAD THEIR TWO BEST PLAYERS OUT OF THE FINAL. I guess the "soccer country" is no longer

Well with a country as fat as it's population odds are you gotta get a few high quality people. It's only fair. However I am glad that someone beat China, those guys scare me with how they train people.
Also how bout that closing ceremony? Pretty weak I thought well until the Who showed up but was too late by then.
