US rolled the Dominican Republic 113-59 last night in a exhibition game. GROSSSSSS

Is France hosting 2012 Olympic Games ? No. So because other failed to host past events, we should be tolerant this time ?

Why would the Olympics be immune to these inconveniences any more than helicopter procurement or road building? Either you expect the government to be infallible (hah) or you have a backup plan and deal with the situation. We haven't "failed" to host anything. The event hasn't even started yes, so I'm curious how you've deemed it a failure.

I meant calling the soldiers wo are back from Afghanistan, the ones returning from tour.

They're not off work just because they're not in Afghanistan. Unless they're actually on leave, they'd be doing something, whether it be training, maintaining equipment etc.

Well the bill to pay will be on the rise with the military being mobilized. I mean as British taxpayer, your money.

It's not ideal. I didn't claim it was, but to describe it as "frightening", "a crisis" or "a fiasco" is blowing it out of proportion entirely. Ultimately the additional cost is miniscule compared to what we've already commited to the Olympics

But the most frightening is the G4S employees actually admitting they did not recieve proper training to do the job are will be ask to do...In that case, it's actually wasting taxpayer's money.

It is, and I hope that there's some sort of action taken against to recoup some of the costs them once the Olympics are over. However it's not the end of the world.

Changeable at best, wet in all likelihood. Yet another embarrasing failure, we forgot to book the sunshine. I'm sure Chimera will tell you how he predicted rain weeks ago.

It wasn't in the cards. I want to attend one big sporting event in my lifetime, but it didn't work out this time around.
He didn't know he would be on the team untill about a week ago. They had try-outs in Houston, TX.

Well look on the bright side, I'm sure Centre Court, Wimbledon, will make a spectacular venue for the Men's and Women's 100m Freestyle finals.

I love the Olympics, but man....Olympic Basketball. There is no country on the planet that can compete with the US, not being All-American or anything but is is odd. The Silver, is the real gold. We are just there to shoot some hoops, the level of competition is way way off. Have read several stories about guys from other countries that asked for autographs before the game even started. Crazy.

All it takes is one night of hard partying to derail the train, man.

Speaking of which, how do accommodations work? Are athletes required to live in the Olympic Village? If I'm Lebron James or Kobe Bryant, and I've got more money in my left sock than most people there will ever see in a lifetime, I ain't sleeping in no bunkbeds in the Olympic Village! I'm renting a house, son!

Dont you mean buying a house.
