Someone is getting sacked tonight anyway.

They introduced the North Korean players on the screen with the South Korean flag beside them. The players refused to come out and play. Kick off will be at 20:50 apparently!

They've only gone and won the game 2-0. A NK propaganda writer's wet dream.

I doubt they're really bothered what the actual score is at all though.

Google coolsportz.....that site usually streams live sports events but the link keeps changing for obvious reasons.

Or else download 'Ex Pat Shield' and watch it all thru the BBC iPlayer

Here's a list of tuning frequencies for the 24 BBC Olympic streams for anyone with Freesat - http://www.bbc.co.uk/reception/info/bbc_olympics_channels.shtml

I've begun to start planning my life around the Olympics schedule from travel to nights out to hobbies to boyfriend activities.

As a Liverpool fan myself I can honestly say there's no way I'd have passed up a bit of an 'undy grundy' to watch those fookers last season :pac:

Mars Bar

Viewers for the GB match yesterday peaked at 2.5million.

Does anyone know where I can find a TV Guide for the BBC Olympic Channels?

I've tried google and have been unsuccessful.

Russia - might take a couple of golds in gymnastics? Perhaps the athletics too. A Russian won the long jump at the European Championships so fingers crossed.

Japan - have a chance to take gold or silver in the women's football.

Brazil - Hope it's a Japan v Brazil final in the women's and not the U.S now!

Spain - Spain and Brazil in the men's football final too! The Spanish are into the diving too aren't they?

Looking good!

God has USA and China, and Jesus has USA and GBR.

Fecking fixed!

Not surprising - we're not hosting it, although technically the map should only show London.

Unlike the World Cup, Olympic Games are awarded to a host city not country.

But a number of events are also taking place out side of London. Football and sailing events to name two.
