Ahead of France by a Silver as well. Surprisingly, Russia only have 3 golds. Suppose that'll shoot up with athletics, but I was surprised.

We've got a lot of medal prospects coming up too. Adlington, Daley, Ennis, that judo athlete in the semi of the Heavyweight, the boxers, a few of the track events, more cycling, the footballers....
We'll finish ahead of Australia

Yep they have impressed me tbh, didn't think they had a chance against Brazil. But they proved me wrong.
If they beat South Korea they face Brazil, but a defeat still puts them into a bronze medal match against one of four teams they would back themselves against. The women play Canada tonight and will be favourites, but then probably USA and a harder final match.
My bad...football and non-football should have been in the same topic anyway
OK new topic: In 2016 golf and rugby seven's will be added to the Olympics. So what sports would you like to see added to the programme? I'll start with squash.
Interesting tactics by Ainsley. Well in lead but slowed down to help the Dutch sailor overtake his Danish rival, so he goes into final race level on points. That should make it an exciting race. Remember the last time when Ainsley wouldn't let his opponent join in the race. He kept him penned at the back so he couldn't win. Dirty, tactical contest...I love it.
He is a huge competitor Ben Ainslie. That's one of the reasons why he's not the most popular among his colleagues.
He was angry because two of the opposition including the Dane demanded he take a penalty turn for a foul. He said he hadn't fouled but with 2 witnesses he could have been disqualified on appeal so was forced to take the turn. Cut throat discipline.
