What I like is this German team took it to the brink without other U-23 like Draxler, Kimich, Rüdiger or Can. Things looking good for 2018

Everyone is talking about a bad exchange outside the zone between Rodgers and Gatlin, but Bromell stepped over the line on his last step before tumbling across the finish line.
I'm not enough of a track expert to know if this would be a DQ, but seems like it. Ato, what do you say?

Nigeria hangs on. I had to look up Saliu's height. He looks like he's about 5'1" out on the field, but actually 5'7"

« on: August 19, 2016, 11:48:54 AM »Bought my ticket yesterday at a Lotto booth. I actually like this system more, very Hassle Free! My only criticism lately with the way they've been collecting tickets on game day at stad, is that we no longer get to keep a stub from each game as a souvenir. I still have my Bahrain ticket among many others and this new system leffin meh with nuthin...strange system. everywhere else they don't even tear off a stub anymore, just scan the code.

« on: August 18, 2016, 11:04:33 AM »Canada was ruled to have run .001 faster than China, so they wouldn't race again.Ato need to work some magic. The USA will get either a rerun or be put into the final. I just hear that on cbcAint that some bull?
Had that happened to TTO and we protested they would have said "part of the game, happens all the time, should have prepared for such an occurrence, hard luck, too bad, bye bye"
So now, they just have to run faster than China (42.70) to make the final. If I were China, I would counter-protest.
Things are a bit complicated:
"The Jury of Appeals for the Rio Games upheld the USA’s appeal, saying that Felix was indeed obstructed on the second exchange. The relay team will re-run the race alone tonight (7 p.m. ET), needing to post a time of at least 42.70 seconds to advance into the finals.
"But a successful re-run will create a second problem: Both China and Canada finished with identical 42.70-second times. Therefore, should the USA post a faster time, China and Canada would need to race again to decide which team makes the eight-country final."

Not seeing any highlights on him. Hopefully this does not mean he is doing poorly
Keshorn is in group B starting in 40 minutes. See:

Fiji keeper just saved a German penalty kick. Would have been the 9th goal. At this point Germany will advance even with a draw between Mex and Korea. If it is a draw Mexico would go home with the lowest goal diff. so they need to win this one.
