Will do.

Mens Grand Final, Australia Vs The Nederlands, and we're coming off a 6-2 win.

I'm so gonna enjoy watching this game no matter the outcome

Me too, if they even bother to show it, bastards.

BTW... Australia pulls ahead of Japan on the medal tally! We're now third (16 Gold, 11 Silver and 15 Bronze for a total of 42, pop 19 million) Behind the US (25 Gold, 29 Silver and 22 Bronze, for a total of 76, Pop 295 million) and China (24 Gold, 16 Silver and 12 Bronze, for a total of 52, Pop 1 billion ). Thus, if Australia had the population of the US, we would currently be sitting on top of the medal tally with 248 Gold, 171 Silver and 233 Bronze for a total of 652.

Definately overrated. I dont watch them, I dont give a damn for the results, and I wish they wouldn't exist so the TV programmes would send interesting stuff.

I've been watching it more or less nonstop...

A question to those who think they're overrated - do you guys play any sport yourselves? I think you'd change your opinions if you did.

(yes, I play a fairly decent amount of football alongside me daily cycling)

Well, on the one hand you have stuff like the Triathalon, Marathon, etc.  On the other hand - Dressage and Synchronised Swimming.

Sometimes it's surprisingly entertaining (usually simply because its a race), sometimes it's astonishingly boring (marathon - obviously hard as nails, but it's like watching paint dry).

I'm prety sure we can accept that nobody really counts those last two as proper olympic sports.

You'd think any self-respecting straight man could appreciate a majority of the womens' games, among many reasons. I know that gymnastics rocked. As did Volleyball (May and Walsh.... ) along with swimming / diving to a lesser extent.

The female gymnasts are all about 14, though.

Oh, and the 50km walk / mince - not a sport.  I appreciate it is still bloody hard, but it just looks ****ing daft.
