      My big concern about this Olympics is around security.

        My biggest concern is about the beret, who knew the French don't know how to wear a proper military beret!

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

                          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.

                                  It's 0-0 at half time in Marseille in the France-USA football game between the two teams New Zealand still had to play in Group A.

                                        I think we will overachieve to keep the goal difference under 5 against France….

                                          France ended up beating the USA 3-0 with a strong half show.

                                          NZ's best chance of getting out of the group is probably beating the US.
