I know that he was upset that Lyles was assigned a better lane than him for the 200m race. He protested the decision, and he was right; his qualifying time was better, so he should have been given the better lane.

Oh wow ok I thought it was just me.

When the final started the first thing I noticed Lyles had lane 5, and I could have sworn he didn't qualify for that

"Noah Lyles on competing against teammate Kenny Bednarek and the rest of the 200m field: “He’s definitely not going to take how he did here in the 100m lying down … [But] that man ain’t winning. None of them is winning. When I come off the turn they will be depressed.”

I'm talking about the top top jobs. Of course he'll still get managerial jobs because hes Henry like Maradona still got coaching jobs but not the elite club ones. Spain in that first half everytime they attacked they looked like scoring. If the result got out of hand like the 3rd/4th place match did yesterday.

Man if Vinny Kompany can get Bayern any damn thing is possible. I think Titi accounted for himself well at this Olympics. See your point though.

 

[MikelArteta]

Hey a question why is there no baseball in Olympics?

There used to be. Remember the USA vs. Cuba rivalry?

Hey a question why is there no baseball in Olympics?

Basically the Olympics dropped it years ago because MLB refused to let pros participate, Japan lobbied to bring it back for Tokyo but France decided they’d rather have breakdancing & rock climbing. Baseball & softball will be back in 2028
