Thread: ‘24 Olympics

  1. #1

    Default ‘24 Olympics

    Nothing says international competition like the USA men’s soccer team stinking it up in a 3-0 loss to France. Throw in the Morocco v Argentina overtime circus, the Olympics have started.

    It all starts a few days earlier than the opening ceremonies. The team competitions take the length of the games.

    The US soccer team has never in their history been competitive in major international competition. Crazy to think about.

    I know it is not Olympic related, but it is Olympic adjacent, but have you guys noticed that last month Lafayette hosted the US National Championships of Karate and in August we will be hosting the US National Championships of Women's Boxing in the CajunDome. I know these are fringe sports, but Lafayette getting to host these fairly prestigious competitions is a good thing for the city.

    Personally I’m just looking forward to the newest Olympic sport of break dancing…

    US Soccer needs a complete reset. It has been terribly mismanaged for a long time.

    Only Olympics I watched was the second half of the USWNT win gold. They’re much better without David Spade.

    Softball and baseball return in 28. Cricket will return for only the second time after a century + long absence.

    Breakdancing is one and done in Paris. If you watched it, it’s easy to see why.

    If you have the opportunity, take a trip to LA in 2028. The Olympics are amazing to see live.

    Very cool. My dad went to Atlanta, too.

    I found a 96’ Olympics tee shirt in a vintage store in Tokyo a few years ago. I regret not buying it.

    The goal scorer was not offsides but teammate was. Weird rule. Seems the offside person may not touch ball but still draws defenses attention
