yeah, the atmosphere was amazing, is a shame that his match was programed at the same time that the basketball game, i was switching between channels constantly

Yo apagué la tele, soy un cagón del orto. A delpo ya sabia que no me iba a bancar verlo pero al basquet pensé que si, y tampoco, jaja. Me pongo tan tenso que me duele el pecho, prefiero no sufrir.

I can't wait for the final, being from a Scottish family myself, hopefully it will be like this: round 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkhkYBO0KeU

' u ever speak about my mum again '

i didn't remember this lol, i'm just happy for juan, his injuries kept him away for too long. plus he had djokovic on the first match, the fact that he is going for the gold is amazing now

I believe Delpo actually said "you and you manners always the same". But I don't know for sure. I just find weird that he could mention Murray's mother but maybe there's a story behind we don't know.

yo hacia zaping entre los dos canales, el chapu metio un triple para empatar el partido faltando 3 segundos, ensima entro con todo el suspenso. se querian matar y delpo jugo un partidazo, acorde a lo que viene siendo su torneo

Si, una vez terminados los partidos me vi los resumenes de ambos. Increible ese triple como entró pidiendo permiso, mamita.

The only thing I really like about the Olympics is track and field but the worst, most classless thing that I heard in the Olympics going way back is that ****** broad Hope Solo as far as what she said after she, being the goalie, that and gave up the goals and the penalty kicks vs the Swedes calling them "cowards"... what it was a tactically well orchestrated victory ...eat your own s***Solo

not just in boxing, any discipline that involves an argentine they will boo them to death. when del potro beat djokovic there was even a fight between fans. today the same, every time he served, people booing. the same with the voleyball today and yesterday with the girls. so glad we beat them at the basketball game today. fuck 'em

Why do they boo Americans? would Argentinian crowds boo Americans?

Can't really blame them with the way Hope Solo acted like a gigantic arrogant asshole after the women's team got knocked out.

Depends, for example I always root for the US when they play soccer because I feel they are underdogs and I like them at soccer. In other sports I don't care that much, as if they were any other country.

The thing with the US is political. Some (yes, I said some, not all) kinda dislike the US because they were responsible or at least supported a lot of dictatorships here in Latin America in the past, amongst other things. In Argentina we're still paying the price for the economical disaster left by the last dictatorship (supported and encouraged by the US government). The US are also seen for example as a pro war or imperialistic country, etc. So some people here find it hard to root for the US. I guess some brazilians feel the same way towards the US because they also had a similar dictatorship supported by the US.

Between Argentina and Brazil the problem is more sports-related. It's a sports-related rivarly mainly.

tbh, i don't know if we would, everyone here loves phelps for example. i think we would boo those who we compete against, like we do in futbol
