A few days ago I saw the construction of the Olympic rings and the realization of London 2012 finally sank in for me.

To be honest I don't have much faith in how the event is going to be executed but still I’m actually quietly anticipating it.
Re: Count-down To London 2012 Olympics. by InkedNerd(f): 2:16am On Mar 02, 2012
This may be my pessimistic side speaking in terms of the British government but I hope a riot breaks out during the Olympics.
Re: Count-down To London 2012 Olympics. by Emeka72(m): 8:13am On Mar 03, 2012
This particular olympic is going to be a very special one as every athlete looks forward to being there. As you know, any event hosted in LONDON is very special.

I dunno the kind of Brits you know but I seem to disproportionally know a lot of interesting ones grin
Re: Count-down To London 2012 Olympics. by N101: 12:20am On Jun 18, 2012
Definitely looking forward to it for a number of reasons. First and foremost, I get to see sports apart from track and field. I love to watch hockey and the rowing, even the equestrian.

Probably will only get to see the Games on TV but I know of a few Games Makers; a friend's daughter is a Young Games Maker, working in the Olympic Village.

As an aside, what is it about black people and their seeming aversion to volunteering for anything outside of church?
Re: Count-down To London 2012 Olympics. by Emeka71(m): 5:19pm On Jun 21, 2012
I think Oludamola Osayomi will represent Nigeria at d track nd field

Re: Count-down To London 2012 Olympics. by Emeka72(m): 7:24pm On Jun 26, 2012
UEFA EURO 2012

semi final matches

Portugal vs Spain (Wed 27th by 7:45)
... Germany vs Italy (Thur by 19:45)

The last time Spain nd Portugal played was at South-Africa world-cup in round of 16, Spain won 1-0.
Germany played Italy in Germany world-cup, Italy won 2-0 golden goal

There is no pushover in this semi-final as any of d teams can win.
If Spain wins this cup, they will have won 3 major cups abt 3 consecutive times in a row; which is UEFA EUR0 2008, FIFA South-Africa 2010, and dis UEFA EURO 2012.
NOTE: The teams left are both group B and group C representatives, Germany and Portugal from group B, Spain nd Italy from group C. There is no group A nd D representatives as they have lost out.
NOTE: 2 Teams will still crash out of d semi-final as there is no 3rd place play-off in dis competition. Only 2 teams make it to d final.

watch out.
Re: Count-down To London 2012 Olympics. by Emeka71(m): 7:00pm On Jul 04, 2012
