The Korean penalties were perfection, utter perfection. It's not hard. If you are a pro footballer and you can't stroke a ball into the corner of the net from that range you should practice more. Sturridge's penalty was a joke, why the stutter? If you are going to mess about at least strike the ball well. A scuffed side foot? Utterly ridiculous from a guy no doubt paid more per week than more are in a year.
Perhaps as well as reducing the number of kids that can play football at junior level, we should also make it compulsory to have 1/2 of football training from age 6 upwards penalty practice?'"
Meh. Forget about the football and focus on our other great sucesses. |

| Her name is Jessica not 'Jess', presenters and journo's acting like she's their mate or something is getting annoying. Other than that, great games so far  |

Atmosphere in the Olympic Park tonight was, to quote Bert Le Clos, "unbelievable". Sitting in the Park live area watching on a big screen, everyone cheering, waving flags and dancing, then people leaving the stadium buzzing from what they'd witnessed.
Just brilliant. Fantastic day

So you know her personally then?
Do you also gob off when Sir Steven Redgrave is called 'Steve' or when Charles Benedict Ainslie is called 'Ben'?
There is every chance they all prefer the shortened names they are called unless as I say you know her and are aware that she doesn't of course. |

I'm that much into this gold rush that I even want Murray to beat Federer today. Not the biggest fan of his, but I'm not one of those people who want to see him choke in every tournament he plays in.

I am delighted that the footballers haven't got a medal. It would have been a travesty for all the genuine dedicated athletes and sportpeople to have to share a stage with them. No footballer can compare to the effort that the real Olympians have put in. When you hear how they have trained, and then hear footballers going to a World Cup complaining of being bored, you realise what a waster bunch of chavs they really are. Football really does have no place in a celebration of true sporting greatness. |

AFAIK she prefers Jess and it's what her family and friends call her. |

I can hand on heart say I've met her, spoken to her and seen her smile. 
I quite honestly don't care what she gets called, she'll always be a princess in my eyes.  |

Game of Andy Murray's life and the culmination of 20 odd years of potential or just Federer being unable to motivate himself for a lesser competition?
I really can't decide, Federer just didn't seem to respond, he didn't seem to want to respond. The cynical side of me says I won't believe that was genuine until he goes and does that to someone in the final of a major.
