Summer Olympics 2024

[snipie]

Team USA is almost gold in basketball. They’re up by 8 at halftime in the gold medal game. Looking like they’re going to be taking first place in the Olympic tournament and bringing home the gold once again. France is putting up a fight, but it appears that America is still the home of the greatest basketball players in the world.

When you say basketball, we say United States
Since the first period, USA were dominating the game with a comfortable lead. Only the third period was for the French side, otherwise finishing behind with 11 points difference isn't something to be proud of for France in the final game..
USA are right now 1 gold away from taking the first position from China.

I beg to differ. France reaching the final and losing by only 11 points to a strong favorite like the USA is actually something to be proud of, and I am pretty certain that they are

The GOAT LeBron James

It'll probably be Brazil's last chance of a gold medal at these Olympics, so I'll be rooting hard for Brazil to beat the United States in the Women's football final
My only bet will be both teams to score, with 1.94 odds

I don't have the courage to bet on Brazil, after all I've lost practically every bet I've placed on the women's team so far and I'm not going to risk it again, even if I'm rooting for them  

The women soccer match has ended and the American women soccer team has shown their prowess by beating the Brazilian team in the final with a score of 1-0, America has now succeeded in increasing the amount of gold they have and making them still able to compete closely with China as a country that won the most gold medals in the Paris Olympics, the final match between America and Brazil was very tight because both teams were very aggressive in attacking from the start of the match, Brazil and America who played more openly in the match, actually had many opportunities to score goals, but it was the bad finishing meant that both teams had to end the match with a score of 1-0 for America win.

It's a shame that I lost this match because I chose the odds for Brazil winning but I don't regret anything because Brazil played well and they fought as hard as they could. In my view, Brazil didn't play any worse than the US and that's not what made them lose this final match but, more because of one person who really played brilliantly, and she managed to thwart all the good opportunities that Brazil had.

The US is truly lucky to have Alyssa Naeher, and I think Alyssa Naeher was more worthy of being the star in the final, rather than Mallory Swanson who scored the winning goal for US.

Faith Kipyegon has done it once again by winning the 1500m gold for the third time in a row sealing the deal as one of the best long distance runners of all time. She is easily one of the best Olympians of all time.

The GOAT LeBron James won Olympic gold medal once again for the last time.

Curry is my favourite GOAT though. The dude kept pumping out 3 pointers out of nowhere as usual. Love his fake outs.

LeBron James is a king. USA Basketball Team is a bigger king.
France did its best, but the fact is that when the USA comes with its senior team in basketball, there is no country on earth that it cannot beat.
If there is no LeBron, Stephen is going there. Without him, Kevin, without him, Embiid etc. it never ends.
Yesterday, Stephen Curry played excellently, especially the last 2 minutes, and broke all France's resistance.
Congratulations...

Who won the MVP for basketball?
Must be Steph Curry without any doubt, right?

Any France have very good players, they will dominate Europe in the following years and most of them will dominate NBA from next year.
Very impressive team.

USA was much better as expected. This time they didn't fall behind in the game. France stayed close until the end but couldn't push them any further. This team is already very difficult to beat. If they wanted and needed, they could've won differently. USA team was too strong. The GOAT LeBron James won Olympic gold medal once again for the last time.

Serbia was a much stronger team than France, they pushed their opponents hard in the semi-final match. But France had no chance in this match.
We understood in the first minutes how much LeBron James wanted to win the match. His game was so ambitious and competitive that France had no chance. He played as a full team captain. Curry's three-points were legendary. He has a style of play that I don't like at all, but I really respect him, he played very well at the end of the match

Spain is the hottest country currently in football and I don't think that it will be easy for any other country to win them because they have shown this in 2024 Olympics finals after they win France the host 5-3 in 120 minutes. Sergio Camello was able to seal their victory with a dying minutes goal with a clean finish from a counter.

It was not quite long that Spain won Euros and now Olympics. Spain have a whole lot of youngsters that will be dominating football in no time.

Congratulations to them for this great achievement.

A very exciting match, I also liked the way the French team played, maybe "Tití Henry" did well, he is handling his players in an impressive way, but the game that Spain played was superior, I do not deny it, France surprised me from the beginning but did not maintain the same level of the first minutes, Spain undoubtedly has the baton of the best team in Europe right now and so far of the Olympics, if the World Cup were this year, would it be likely that Spain would win it ? They have a very good lineup.

We had a very exciting match. I thought Spain would win the match easily but the way France returned in the match was remarkable. Although they can't win the match but it was a good effort from them. It was the Substitute Sergio Camello who socred twice in the extra time and helped the Spain win the Gold Medal.

Finals are always full of surprises so even though your thinking is perfectly in order, you don't expect any team that reaches the final, in that competition that was fiercely contested, to be an easy ride. Besides, the French side are good in all ramification and they truly performed accordingly even though they could not win the match. At some point in the competition, it was obvious that France and Spain were distinguished and most likely the finalists. I must congratulate Spain on yet another great achievement.

I didn't know medal tally before, was just keeping in touch with how Indian athletes are doing in Olympics, was happy with handful of bronzes and silvers that India won, now that I read [1] how many Golds alone China and USA has won, I feel very surprised and this comparsion took away my joy.
