Dear friend Buzugee:
You know I appreciate you.
But we can not live inside a glass sphere.
Life is not limited to prayer and reading the Bible.
Take the Olympics for what they are: a sporting event that unites the different peoples, all together, regardless of language, beliefs and nationality ... speaking the same language is sport.
You know who won the first Olympic title in football (soccer)?
My beloved country, Uruguay ... Olympics in 1924 and also in those of 1928 (in 1930 Uruguay was the first World Cup champion).
You understand why the Olympics are a wonderful thing?
Hahahahaha!
A warm embrace, my friend!

everytime i go on south and central american websites i see jajajajajajaja all the time. i was baffled initially. like what does that mean. is it some kind of code LOL. hey basketball is a beautiful game. i have a mean crossover. i can cross you over between the legs from right to left and then just when you think i am about to blow past you on the left, i bounce the ball once and do a reverse 360 degrees. that is guaranteed to break your ankles LOL. nigeria in olympic football ? i really cant tell you that. i dont follow nigerian sports or any sports for that matter. only the NBA. I am sure Uruguay will do well. calienteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee latino heatttttttt. hey you know that guacamole makes the joint supple. thats why people from that region of the world are good at soccer. they have supple joints

Hello dear friend ... is a pleasure to greet you!
Yes, you are very knowledgeable. Uruguay hosted the first World Cup in 1930 and also won in 1950, beating Brazil (the local) 2-1, possibly in one of the most exciting games in history.
We are a country that feels passion for football ... we all love the sport. We are also fans of "Candomble" music of african root brought by the African slaves ...
Could be defined as a Uruguayan football and candombe fan ...
It is a pleasure to share this comment with you.
Consider me your friend!

you are welcome...
