9ja basketball team not doing bad against Italy so far..

PDPGuy:
Update: Tobi Amusan and Ese Brume have been drafted into Nigeria’s 4x100m relay team to join Okagbare and Grace Nwokocha, due to the ineligibility of two original runners on the team

Mk sense.

BlueMann:
Abeg what other events is she competing in?

100,200 and 4 by 100

PDPGuy:
Blessing Okagbare and Grace Nwokocha are both through to the Women’s 100m semifinals, after clocking 11.05s and 11.00s, respectively, in their heats.

Nwokocha’s 11s run is her new PB

Impressed especially with Blessing.. Didn't kn why she slowed down towards the finish line.

9ja should go for Gold..

Trevor012:
How did France lose 4 nill to japan . The Spain I picked as favourites are yet to even win any match. I tire

Spain might even go on to win it.. I'm still tipping Brazil to win gold.

TheLequte:
Argentina don ja

And Egypt miraculously made it despite Argentina and Spain’s stalemate.

CIV also made it.

Lol omo the twist for the competition ehn.. Richarlison helped Brazil today.
As it stands now ehn, make any country win am biko..

TheLequte:
I’d say US and Brazil are the flop of the tournament, given the level of performance expected from them, US especially.

The Swedes haven’t been blowing their opponents away like the Netherlands have but I think they’ll give them something to think about if they meet. They also know how to score goals and their defense is tight.

The Netherlands haven’t faced any serious opposition apart from Brazil and the game between them ended in a 3-3 stalemate.

It’s going to be a tight game and I believe the winner will be who has a better defense.

Lets just see how it goes. Can even go to a totally different team.

TheLequte:
The free kick was executed well but it wasn’t a shot. That’s why I said it wasn’t fast. The wall didn’t jump and it was inches away from the GK. You don’t see that kinda sequence in men’s football.

The two teams were sluggish. Zambia got a defender sent off early on and had their hopes pinned on Barbara Banda. She’s got 6 goals in their last 2 games but they’re still rooted to the bottom of the table. Wished she scored today.

The highest scorer, Netherland’s Miedema, has 8 goals to her name now. They’ll probably win it but I think Sweden can stand up to them.

For the free kick though, the people in front of the GK didn't do well.. The red card too affected them despite playing with 10men, was expecting Brazil to score more than a goal but they didn't.

Doubt Sweden can take the Netherlands.. The reason I like this Dutch female team is because they know where the back of the net is..
Gold medal can go anywhere. Let's just watch.

US and Brazil isn't leaving up to expectations so far...

timay:
A lot of goals in women's football always look spectacular though because the goal keepers are awfully bad and the defending comical.

True but the case of this goal, the Funny GK dived and couldn't get hand on the ball.

Wished Bandas cored for the Zambia though

TheLequte:
Enough chances. Too much space to attack, too much time to shoot, comical errors and mistakes, etc. They were sluggish and slow both physically and mentally- and you could see that they were putting in all their strength.

Brazil just scored Zambia. The free kick wasn’t fast and it was a few inches away from the GK. It still went in

The free kick was well executed.. I have seen worse free kick goals in men's football.

The two team are sluggish though. The Zambians footballers just booting the ball anywhere they like.

Netherland is one favourite for gold though.

TheLequte:
Yeah. Morning to late morning ; brunch time, yuno.

The last group games will be played on Wednesday. 9-12 ish. Ivory Coast are the only African team with a chance to go through and they face Germany, who need a win to progress. A stalemate is enough for CIV.

South Africa bleeped up by losing to France yesterday. They lost a penalty and were ahead 3-2 in the 81st minute. They lost 4-3. They have zero points.

Egypt are also bottom of their group but they need a win against Australia (who are 2nd with 3 points ) and hope that a winner emerges between Spain and Argentina.

Brazil are still favorites.

Southy really bleeped up.. They started very well even missed an open net in 90+ minutes..

CIV is the hope of Africa male football in the Olympics so far.

I have watched some of the teams play and I will agree that Brazil are favourites followed by Argentina..

Spain aren't living up to expectations. Germany isn't that bad too.

TheLequte:
Probably. 2nd game of the tourno

Cos I watch few minutes of the match Sunday morning. Most of the matches are bn aired in the morning.

TheLequte:
Argentina beat them 1-0 jare. They wasted plenty chances.

Wait o. No be match dem show for morning??

ALEXAPLAYME:
Few seconds for France to win

Yea they won via comeback of about 10point or so.. Both teams threw away some free throws in the match.

Who else is watchin the US basketball male team against France??

BlueMann:
1200?

Different but I saw 12 and 100

Twelve hundred

Opening ceremony Tokyo2020 Olympics..

airmark:
Funke Oshonaike still playing TT?

I remember her rivalry with Bose Kaffo. While Atanda Musa and Segun Toriola held it down in the male category.

Yea remember Segun well. Don't really know Funke lady and use to hear about Atanda Musa

Sniper4real:
Yea. I think he was even 2nd for assist in that season

With the number of World class forward(though some were aging/not fully fit), didn't know why we didn't do well in the league those years..

seankafor:
Why WWE no follow for Olympics

Wrestling follow na.

pamcode:
wow Really. The guy isn't tall sha. Let see how it goes sha. U.S and Jamaica didn't come with their established guys. Blake is the only name i recognise.

Second fastest man.. I hope he dominates track event.

Kilishihunter:
This Djokovic sef, this guy doesn't want to give anybody breathing space, Well he's got to this level deservedly and if he wins gold, mehn it's going to take an injury to him, disqualification or a huge effort from someone to make him not win a calendar slam

I'm telling you. He doesn't wants to rest. He's surely going for gold.

I'm a huge Federer fan but anytime I see Federer vs Djokovic, in my mind I'm like bad market.
He's already in team 20 and I dnt see him stopping even in 2-3 years to come.

Naija rep.
Suprised to see Quadri and Blessing okagbare.

Naija shouldn't carry last biko..

Ibime:
I no even know who come dey reign for 100m.and 200m again. Last time I really followed the scene was in 2019

It's like this new set are not taking drugs unlike Usain Bolt set that's why no one is shining again. Every single top dog apart from Bolt got suspended for drugs. The pressure to keep up with Bolt was too much.

What of that our Naija guy, haneveresperredit. That guy was getting really fast last time I saw him.

Everyone wants to break records. I don't know if we will see someone as dominant as Bolt in years to come.
I am also looking up to the female track event too.

Actually looking forward to 9jas representative.

Read somewhere Djokovic is representing his country too, hopefully he will win gold.

KingAlabi:
Di Maria no suppose dey there Sha.

Yes. E no suppose dey the list at all. Some youngies sef make no even play enough match self no suppose dey there.

Sniper4real:
Good start, bad ending i think

3 goals/10 assist IN 27 EPL matches isn't too bad IMO.

It's just the hype behind the number 7 and the price tag.

Sniper4real:
Any objection?

Abeg werin Di Maria dey do there?

Ibime:
Some of these boys get strength sha, even Richarlison. They just finished Euros and Copa and went straight to Olympics. From there, straight back to league football

I'm telling you.
Suprised seeing some of those Spanish boys today..

Trevor012:
Mad finish

https://streamwo.com/tXRJfW0

Started watching from second half.. Anthony isnt a bad player.

I feel Brazil should have scored more though.

Trevor012 did you see Paulinhos goal to make it 4?

Trevor012:
The foolish Spain just drew 0:0 with Egypt despite fielding this team

Telling you. I was happy Egypt defended well and it ended 0-0.
