Along with the convicted child rapist representing Holland in beach VB team*, gang rape of an Ozzie and timely release of a video of GB dressage star beating a horse, great start to the Olympics LOL

Pogacar has pulled out of the Olympic Cycling. He is upset that the Slovene cycling team did not pick his girlfriend.

[Daffy Jaffy]

@sparky There is a joke about him playing for Moana Pacifika in there somewhere.

Riot police were called to the Argentina Morocco game in Saint-Etienne.

New Zealand score again. Waine!!!!!

NZ 2 Guinea 1.

[KiwiMurph]

Not a big fan of this NZ football team

Committing professional fouls and flopping. Miss me with that.

The last three minutes of the Argentina and Morocco game are being played in front an empty stadium four hours have the match began.

All over in Nice. New Zealand beat Guinea 2-1. A draw or a win against either France or USA might see them go through to the knockouts.
