Men's hockey
1 of 22
GB's men's hockey team eased to a 1-1 draw with Spain that sees them into the semi-finals.
The games have proved that real people who care and have passion can win,,,,,,,,,,,,they have taken the world on at the highest level and show them,,,,,,,,,they are there with the best.
I`m so proud of all the athletes in whatever sport they have taken up and worked on to make this the best games for medals we have ever had.These are the people kids should look up to and want to be.
Over paid football pricks have had their day,,,,,,,,,we all know they are just over paid no ones,who just kick a ball about for money,win or lose,they`ll never have the guts to have a go and do us proud.
The games have proved it,,,,,,,,,,,respect to all,apart form the mens football ponces,,,,,,,,,,,,,you have done us and yourselves proud,,,,,you are all gold
Out of the pictures above, one thing is blatantly clear they all, apart from Idowu and the footballers performed superbly. Only complaint is that Victoria Pendleton was cheated out of her final gold - how can you have a sport where she is illegally barged during a race, knocking her off the race line and she gets penalised - crazy!
Hope that the footballers are forced to apologise to the country, as well as Idowu for messing everyone about and preventing others from taking his place!
i was rather dissapointed in a recent tv ad to see such a difference made between TEAM GB and the paralympic team
as far as i am concerned they are ALL TEAM GB whether able bodied or competing in the paralympics
and i cetainly admire the guts and courage that the paralympians show and they should be given more coverage than they get
Anyways,,,,Team GB is nailing it big time,,,,going to be a problem for the BBC when it comes to sports personality at the end of the year,,,,,the whole team should win it for all the effort they`ve put in :):)
Have to say never been that fond of "anything sporty" have only got slighty excited in the footy (only to be dissapointed after the first round!) but this Olympics has been so eventful, so exciting, so all involving that I have been glued to the tv/computer/iphone!! I have always been proud of GB but never more so than now! I have never known a time when my whole family - parents & children (especially teenagers!!) have had such a common bond - overheard my 15 year old say "I am so proud to be British! brought a tear to my eye! 2012, for me (and I hope) for the whole of GB! it should make us think - as a very small island - we are still a major force - the fact that we have people like Mo farah - who (like my grandad) have made this country their own and unite us all should make us all the more proud!
It used to be nice venting anger at the government,debating topical items and giving praise or condolences via msn. Now it is full of silly people and msn will NOT get it sorted.
Answer ? intelligent users boycott msn .
Well done to team GBR. Fantastic work from all our athletes,trainers,families and support staff.
THANK YOU
I agree with Shane Tyson and many others, the comments that have nothing to do with the subject should be removed and the people posting these comments barred from using the service.. There are enough dating places on the web or places to offer other services. But does MSN care. NO
I also think that the people who write the comments/headlines should get things into perspective.
Yes team GB have done magnificent and I applaud ALL the athletes, they have done the country proud by competing, winning a medal or not. I feel though for the athletes as although home support can be good it can also bring a lot more pressure to do well. the countries expectations must be a huge burden on the shoulders of team GB athletes.
I would though like to see some praise for the trainers/coaches/backup staff who get the athletes to the standard they need to compete, without them there would be no medals. It is all too often that the headlines go to the athletes but none to the people who worked so hard to get them to where they are. So from me well done to all the support staff.
It is great that we have won more gold medals this time than any other olympics since 1908 but one must also except that there are now a lot more events to compete in, so one would hope, (though not expect) for an increase in medals won.
