Let's see if Fermin can get his double and win the Olympics with Spain after winning the Euro. Spain's first game is already in 2 days, on Wednesday against Uzbekistan, 15 CEST.

Lol, I was just thinking yesterday about opening the thread.

Besides football, what sports will you follow the most? I'll probably watch volleyball and in Olympics I also like to see some sports that I usually don't/can't watch a lot like Climbing, Table Tennis and Badminton. I try to keep up with most final decisions in other sports as well.

That speed climbing thing is pretty fun.

Yeah, volleyball always nice to watch and the girls are usually all hot. I also like table tennis, archery, diving, canoe, Taekwondo (because I did it myself). In general I like watching water categories in summer.

Timing of the Spain men's football matches are all crap...

Am i the only one who likes to watch swimming? 🤔

I don't like team sports in Olympics, just a fraud against the classical spirit. Also I will not watch Olympics held in a neo-marxist and Islamist city.
As much as they think themselves as Europeans, France is a North African country with some neo-marxists enablers. Only the marble remembers of anything classical, and the wealth of the elites.
They will get massacred by Islamists if not for the army and fences.
It will go against the ideological point of holding the games for me to watch them.
Hope I'd answered.
You make Football 1 v 1 then maybe. Olympics have no place in our world, they were reinstated by a continent that had big ambitions to be the best. Now they are the lapdogs of others and future servants.

The last Olympics had no fans in the stands

BTW I am not a conspiracy theorist but France has roughly 900-1000 arrested Jihadists activating in Fr with a potential of 300 "recruits'' per year. That is very much insane level. And "recruits" because mostly are lone wolfs fighting the most solid radical-liberal state on Earth.
Give those numbers to a poor, less efective, less militarized state and it will be a civil war like there is no tomorrow. I will not watch an Olympic that needs to be fenced off and guarded by the army against their own people. It's just insane and actively supporting the farce of cosmopolitan states.

if it's 30 degree outside, I like watching swimming too. But not my favourite sports. Btw I didn't follow the news, are men allowed to swim in women's category? I remember there was a guy like top300 in men's category, switched to women's only to be 1st there.

Yeah, it's like being a worst poster on Barcaforum but then switching to RedCafe and being the best poster there.

A reminder: Our boys Garcia, Fermin and Cubarsi play their first game in roughly 3 hours against Uzbekistan.

Spain got a really rough schedule having to play their three group games at 3pm. Meanwhile France get all their games at 9pm.
