I’m looking forward to it … love the variety of sports and the prowess of the athletes (or not).
Enjoying the rugby 7’s.
USA going well up until now.
Ireland’s form also looked promising.
It’s strange not seeing the other home countries.

We’re also doing well 3 from 3, but I haven’t checked the overnight scores.
The opening ceremony sounds interesting no stadium.
Edit; we beat the US overnight so 4 from 4.

Gee our Matildas got a spanking from Germany 3 zip. They’re the most supported team in Australia (even more than the current cricket side) but never quite deliver the promise. It’s going to be hard to get into the next stage as they still have the USA side which we have always struggled with.

Not that it really matters, but since we had football and rugby sevens on Wednesday and Thursday, plus handball and archery yesterday, doesn’t that somehow take the edge off today’s opening ceremony?

Oh, we thought we had missed it.

No, it’s on today, which means there will be no sporting events held.
So, they’re pausing the sport, in order to hold the “opening” ceremony.
Bonkers.

I think Argentina should be banned from football forever. It’s one massive cheating country. Once they have conquered a trophee they start singing racist songs and refuse to congratulate or pay respect to the one they have defeated.
