This thread is about the Olympics.Not about the politics.If anyone is really bugged about why China is hosting the Olympics,or if someone is bugged about why other people are bugged about China holding the Olympics,take it to some other thread.There was a thread in the Hangout section about it.Dig it out,and take your argument there.Dont bring politics into this thread.It will lead to stupid arguments,which will lead to warnings and infractions.

Stick to the Olympics.DO NOT bring Politics here.

Anyone have the fixtures?

Yes, on the first day every team plays against humidity-ladened smog. The second fixture is against lung-breaking SARS. The third fixtures of the group are against large gallons of highly polluted sea water.

And the Gold Medal goes to whose bodies' rot less quickly in their coffins.

Word to the fake 2008 Chinese Olympics.

And the Gold Medal goes to whose bodies' rot less quickly in their coffins.

And who has the most liver tumors, jaundice, fluid retention, and high blood pressure. :vinny:

Word to the fake 2008 Chinese Olympics.

Living in the state known for fake tits, the Chinese should at least get the fake Olympics.

i dont care about football in the olympics since it is not that good matches to watch but i dont know why this year all stars want to play in the olympics , namely messi from barca and maybe etoo and ronnie

USA, USA, USA, USA!

We probably won't as we are sending a lot of reserve players. To me that's just awful as we've got so many talents under 23 and I think every athlete should be willing to compete in the Olympics. The only reason why anyone could turn the offer down is obviously China itself.

 

[HelterSkelter]

Does anyone know how they decide which football countries make it to the Olympics?

 

[joe5]

China as the organizer of the Olympics will be one of them.

 

[HelterSkelter]

And the other 15?

Its not according to the FIFA rankings.So whats the method?

 

[Fred]

The European teams qualified via the U21 European Championship. Have no idea about the rest

 

[GordoDeCentral]

same, U21 continental competition i think whoever makes it to the final or semis

 

[Sadomin]

Some trivia meanwhile:

Who are the only two remaining silver medalists from Italy's WC 94 squad who played professional football last season (and will probably continue playing next season)?

No cheating.

 

[Red]

Maldini and...

 

[Sadomin]

Hint: They both play in the same club now as they did in 94. The one that's not Maldini wears the number 5 and is a starter for his club.

 

[The Curr]

Pagliuca? but he's not with the same club now as 94


Edit: It's Luca Bucci!

 

[Esteban]

Del Piero?

 

[joe5]

And the other 15?
