Ellen Hoog is on a killing spree, she just hit an Argentinian player against the head with her stick.

US played Japan in the gold medal match for soccer on august 9th. August 9th also happens to be the day that the US dropped the bomb on HIroshima.

It's the most hardcore sport there is, 3,5 hours of walking over 50km.

People fainting, people puking, people needing a wheelchair when they finish.

Ambulances everywhere.

What a turn by the US! Down by 5 to up by 9 in just a couple of minutes. I feel like they will actually take home this gold.

Was there ever even a question of whether or not they would win the gold?

I would love to see them lose just so they would shut up with the Dream Team comparisons. And because I dislike the majority of that team..

who would have thought Spain would give US a solid run for their money in gold medal match in basketball.

obviously not a dream team if they come that close against Spain.

Bits that ruined the Closing Ceremony:

Emile Sandie x2

One Direction

Jessie J x3

Ed Sheeran singing "Wish You Were Here"

Spice Girls.


Whoever came up with the "artists" needs a brain check, because there is MUCH better British talent than those that I listed.
