Apparently they will 

Will Stan make minis of that though?

I won’t be getting up for anything but I’ll watch all soccer minis and whatever’s on live in terms of other sports. Is the schedule friendly? Haven’t checked. 

Alas, no....
But - that is one of things I've had to share for work haha

:P:cool::hehe::D luv it and ofcourse another season ends Sept hahaha

Man 3am alarms is no fuss for me but man, I'm no massive W football fanboi/other/non-binary/other type of gender type of fan send me a reminder on the day :)

Does it have the rules for Olympic breakdancing on it? hehehehehe

Ouch that's rough. Don't think I'll find myself getting up for much of that. Except for maybe the USA game if it's winnable. But I'd like a good night sleep before my birthday hahaha.

Agreed on the smorgasbord of sports I wouldn't normally watch. I've done my second update of a childhood book that outlines rules for literally almost any sport. Great Olympic handbook.

Although I'd love to watch the Matilda's play, the time difference is a gonna be a bit of a deal-breaker for me.
Thu 26 July - Germany v Australia - 3am (eastcoast time)
Sun 28 July - Australia v Zambia - 3am (eastcoast time)
Wed 31 July - Australia v USA - 3am (eastcoast time)

You are such a eurosnob!!! hahahahah The season ENDS in September mate. hahahahahahahaha 

But Im the same, Olympics are about sports I never usually pay attention too, for me anyway. 

I just see the Olympics as a smorgesboard of many sports I normally wouldn't make any time for :)
If I'm awake at the time I'll watch or whatever put on something else.
Wherever there's an Aussie sure happy they do well, though I'll watch football hands down and many other sports compared to the Aussie syncronised swimming team.....

TBH glad its a little late night/or early morn filla before the new season starts come August :)

Yeah, I'm a bit the same. Would have gone out of my way for Olyroos, Might do so for Matildas depending how I feel. I mean, I have to follow it a bit for work anyways.

Im not really a fan of Olympics football... Ill watch it if its on but wont go out of my way to find a game to be honest... 

OK cool MCG obviously alot of us will be invested.
Too funny NCB, commercilism vs clashing sporting bodies commercial decisions.
Not surprised and Thanks for the info, interesting.

My traditional hijacking of a thread to talk about uniforms hahaha

Saw this today (the team photo for the French Olympic football team)



What's interesting about it you say? Well... they're in the same boat as the Australian Olympic team: The FFF is signed with Nike (and run the Olympic football team), however the France Olympic Committee is signed up with Le Coq Sportif.

The Australian FA is with Nike, as we all know - but the AOC is with Asics.

Why am I making this comparison? Well... the different ways around this by both Olympic Committees.
For Australia, this means when the Matildas and Olyroos (and also the Boomers, Opals, etc) qualify and play at the Olympic Games, they wear bespoke Asics uniforms.
France however, (at least for Football) are using the same kits at the Olympics as the Football team would outside the Olympics - with the only modification being the French crest (no gold cockerel like at the Euros - it's the French Olympic Committee's sporting cockerel instead). BUT off the field, they are given Olympic Le Coq Sportif gear (training, tracksuits, etc). Will make the pre-game anthems interesting - will Nike have made anthem jackets with this logo as well? Or are they going to take off a Le Coq Sportif jacket, with the Nike kits underneath?

Due to the success of the euro and Copa America threads I present to you the Olympics thread. Get around the Aussie men and women competing in football and other sports
