they're not breaking any rules

most club sides just wouldn't release players (although the Bender bros are top class)

so why is neymar playing for brazil but messi isn't playing for argentina

 

[GunBR]

bruh.... http://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/mario-and-sonic-at-the-rio-2016-olympic-games-wii-u

I think he means a realistic game
And yes, London 2012 had one but Rio no

 

[Tomasoares]

Fuck you Neymar

 

[silver.tongue]

wtf brazil can field neymar

thisisadisgrace.gif

Who is germany's current top player over 23?

 

[Horseress]

ZIKAAAAAAA

LMAO, brazilians are the best

At least they are not screaming "BIXA", that was pathetic

 

[GunBR]

so why is neymar playing for brazil but messi isn't playing for argentina

Barcelona don't let him play
And to play at the Olympics, Neymar couldn't play at Copa America (Messi played that one)

 

[Lkr]

it was a lame joke, who needs that when we have sanic

 

[Velcoro]

that was close

 

[Pennywise]

so why is neymar playing for brazil but messi isn't playing for argentina

Because Barcelona let Messi play Copa America.
Neymar had to choose between Copa or Olympics, the club would only let him play one tournament.

 

[Vic]

THAT WAS IN!

 

[KingSnake]

so why is neymar playing for brazil but messi isn't playing for argentina

Argentina wanted to win Copa America (lol) and Brazil wants to win the Olympics.

 

[silver.tongue]

so why is neymar playing for brazil but messi isn't playing for argentina

Messi quit the argentina squad after the copa america loss.

Also Barcelona would not release Neymar for the olympics if Brazil used him at copa america. Thats why he did not play there. Messi did.

 

[Charles Brandon]

2 teams needed to be DQ'd for the hosts to reach the final, and 2 were, for no clear reason afaict

it's an absolute disgrace

 

[Koren]

Yes, another silver medal! (I'm aware that sounds a little sad, but still).

Well, that's gold for Mexico in modern pentathlon, if I'm not mistaken...

(and chocolate again for France, too bad the horsing put him so far)

 

[Horseress]

Neymar is fantastic

Russia got gold. The Mexican got bronze.

 

[CelticKnight]

Wish I could say this German team looked like they've got 7 goals in them, but...

 

[silver.tongue]

Neymar is fantastic

His field awareness is amazing.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

so why is neymar playing for brazil but messi isn't playing for argentina

Because Messi retired from international football?

barcelona are dumb then because they missed neymar for the spanish super cup

 

[silver.tongue]

They scored 10 in Fiji in the same stadium of the 7-1... And we just saw 3 shots hit the post.

 

[Horseress]

His field awareness is amazing.

His "I'M HERE" scream gave me the goosebumps

 

[Milchmann]

barcelona are dumb then because they missed neymar for the spanish super cup

Nobody cares about super cups.

 

[krishian]

barcelona are dumb then because they missed neymar for the spanish super cup

They seemed to do just fine without him.

 

[KingSnake]

Croatia-Serbia in water polo final right now.

 

[Hyllian]

 

[Charles Brandon]

ooh a full stadium

 

[Captain Smirk]

barcelona are dumb then because they missed neymar for the spanish super cup

They won their first league game 6-2 earlier, think they will be fine lol

 

[the_firewithin]

ooh a full stadium

might as well wait until the second to last day huh

 

[zero_suit]

Packed!

 

[Line_HTX]

Because Messi retired from international football?

Didn't Messi say he was coming back for 2018 just the other day? Like he un-retired or something.

 

[silver.tongue]

People here like team sports where Brazil actually has a decent squad...

Football, Volleyball, Basketball, Handball...

 

[CelticKnight]

Football is the only sport Brazil give a toss about because it's the only sport they're really good at. Brazil crowds only care about winning.

You could argue that the Olympics were doomed to fail going to Rio, guess we'll see if it has any positives for the country in the future years.

 

[Ikuu]

Messi isn't going to go play in the Olympics at 29 when he's already got a Gold Medal, lol.

 

[silver.tongue]

Didn't Messi say he was coming back for 2018 just the other day? Like he un-retired or something.

Argentina got a new coach who says he will try and talk to messi about it... Unless messi said something i'm not aware of.

Holy fuck I'm still nervous.

neymar goal

[SporeCrawler]

Germany played better. The brazilians were attacking more fiercely but they did not create any chances. A freekick that got in the right corner is impressive but other than that there really wasnt anything impressive there.

Exageration...

Volleyball, Basketball, Judo, Beach Volleyball were all sold out. But yeah, athletics was a bust.

Been studying all day but was nice to hear David Boudia got the Bronze in the 10m diving competition. I heard Tom Daley didn't even qualify for the final, what happened?

 

[jesu]

Yes, another silver medal! (I'm aware that sounds a little sad, but still).

That last fucking dive, though.

You got a bronze in the modern pentathlon too.
He did well in the running at the end, beating an Italian.

Yes, Brazil's football is indeed fantastic!

[jesu]

I was told Tom Delay was a good diver but he didn't even make the final?

Set a new Olympic record yesterday in the heats.
Fucked up today in the quarters though.

 

[oti]

On the one hand of course I want Germany to win. On the other hand... it would be a nice end to the games for the host. And I don't know anyone over here who really cares about this tournament anyway.

You know what I mean lol. Historically speaking. I know they suck donkey dick these days, but the national team were tasty during the last century.
