GDT: Paris Olympics 2024

Is Elias Petersson in the diving competition? I heard he practised all winter.

I encourage everyone to find that Vanessa Gills interview she gave after the game.

So moving.

She scored a helluva goal. Timely.

She scored a helluva goal. Timely.

She basically told of how all the girls hadn't eat or slept the last 24 hours. Many cried all night.

Truly inspirational.

F Priestman for allowing that to happen.

I should add that Canada looked the best they’ve looked in over a year in that second half.

 

[rboomercat90]

Canada beat France in soccer and are still somehow alive.

Now the path to make it to the second round is open. A win against Colombia would see them finish second in their group. Begs the question again, why was any of the drone crap necessary?

Priestmann should be banned from Canada.

She can go back to England.

Great game by Fleming.

Beckie was good once she came on too.

Priestmann should be banned from Canada.

Heard Soccer Canada terminated her contract or something to that end so she’s probably going to I would imagine?

 

[rboomercat90]

She can go back to England.

They can deport both her and Herdman.

 

[AM]

and they went 3 minutes past the 13 minutes of extra time

FIFA desperately trying to avoid the consequences of canada advancing. If they advance in third spot after winning three games, who do they play.

 

[iCanada]

By my math - looks like the ladies soccer team is going to the knockout stage regardless if they beat Colombia?

Lol watch them win to overcome the adversity, just to have FIFA change their my minds on the punishment once someone realizes the three point team they are playing in the knockout stage is actually an undefeated 3-0 team and complains.

Love these surprise medals for Canada. You can see the pure joy of the athletes in the videos.

 

[ottawarenegader613]

Just watching women's basketball between Canada and France with France leading 34-18 in. Kia Nurse, Darnell's sister is playing right now, and committed another turnover to the French. I hope she is not following in her brother's footsteps when it comes to mistakes in the Stanley Cup final.

Huge respect for these women facing down stigma and shaming due to incredibly poor judgement of their coaching group. Game is always played on the field and they are showing their grit and character (and skill). Quite a story if they can qualify without coaching. Go Canada Go!

PS Thanks to everyone posting Canadian results. I can't stand the corrupt Olympics organization so tend to avoid the games. That is until some of the amazing stories start to unfold.

Canada's first Gold



Amazing stuff, best result for Canada ever

Only 2 3rd place teams advance and Brazil and Australia are ahead with 3 points each. Canada gotta beat colombia

Oh yeah, I phrase it poorly I think - if we win we're in, if we lose we're out. I think there's an outside shot we're in if we tie Columbia assuming NZ beats France with tie breakers - but that's unlikely.

I don't even think they're facing any stigma or shame outside of our own media cannibalizing them for clicks. Put it this way - if you rank the post by engagement - say by using a neutral third party up vote system main soccer subreddit page sorted by top in the last month - the Canadian Drone spying story isn't even in the top 200 posts of the last month.

I honestly don't know how much I feel for the players at this point. Really sounds like something that has been going on for a long time and something that the players actually knew about and participated in.

Who guessed Judo as Canada's first gold medal?

I think it's beyond Canadian media. My reference point was ESPN doing a story on it along with other reportage suggesting a system issue. End result the players as defending Olympic Champions pay the consequences both in terms of penalty and crossfire reputationally.

Canada's Olympic spying scandal: Everything you need to know

Docked six points, its coach sent home, defending gold medalist Canada is dominating headlines in Olympics women's soccer for all the wrong reasons.

They have no say in the conduct of the coaching staff. Westheads reporting was on the mens team, not the women. Also, it's quite a common thing and not really that big deal. It's funny to read articles about how us soccer knew Canada was spying but they themselves were doing it in Qatar. Our stupid staff was just dumb enough to fly their drone in an illegal air space.

It's a real nonstory that has been blown out of proportion here. The staff should and will be fired and Canada Soccer gets further exposed as the incompetent bunch they are.

None of this is on the players and even they will tell you, spying on a practice doesn't give you an advantage on the pitch. It's just a bunch of insecure coaches trying to maximize their "edge."

I love martial arts and combat sports so that's a pleasant surprise.
