It amazes me that FIFA acted so quickly and the punishment is severe
FIFA has its flaws and I am not sure if they would have handed the same punishment for Brazil or France on the men’s side if they did something similar
Imagine if the NCAA did that to scUM last year
What is Canada's defense. We are sorry we got caught?

Let's hear it for Algerian women's boxing! I feel real bad for the Italian boxer who withdrew. Sad but wise move. (If what I've gathered is true and accurate).

P.S. I used to love Andy Kaufman inter-gender wrestling.

Note to IOC: I volunteer as a 100% male to fight a woman boxer. True, I'm 73 and would trip over my jockstrap in the locker room. But I wanna be another Bobby Riggs! My hero.

(Any young, middle-aged or senior proficient female boxer would douse my lights quickly. I'd probably not even make it into the ring. More tripping over the ropes. Not even Angelo Dundee or a good cut-man could save me. That's why I prefer inter-gender senior wrestling. I've got a chance. A slim chance. Where's my jockstrap when I need it most? My kingdom for a jockstrap!

Watching the 200 men's IM, and France's Leon Marchand was just .06 of a second off of world record pace. The crowd was absolutely bonkers for him, chanting "Leon" every time he came out of the water on the breaststroke leg. The place is basically a French discotheque with 20,000 people at the present time.

Why because she got beaten by a women who was a better boxer who is considered a medal contender but not a favorite?

So much cruel agenda driven misinformation in this one. I feel bad for this Algerian.

Julien Alfred from Saint Lucia wins gold medal in the women's 100 meter dash. It is the first Olympic medal of any kind for the small Caribbean nation. Sha'Carri Richardson of the U.S. wins silver in the race.

Men's basketball knockout stage bracket:

All of the quarterfinals will be played on Tuesday. That Canada-France game could be a really interesting matchup. There's also a potential U.S.-Serbia rematch in the semifinals.

Brazil-USA will air at 2:30 PM on USA Network.

Good. They will be nice and tired too

All the quarterfinals were played today so each winning team will have the same turnaround time for the semifinals. The teams playing in the bronze medal match will also have the same turnaround time as that match will be played Friday. The gold medal match participants get an extra day as that final is next Saturday.

You don’t understand my point. Going to penalty kicks means they played more minutes than the US. We won in extra time.

Novak Djokovic wins gold medal match in men's singles tennis in straight sets over Carlos Alcaraz. Gold medal was the only accomplishment that had eluded him in his legendary career.

Scottie Scheffler shoots a course record 62 and wins gold in the men's golf tournament. It's been quite the golf season for Scheffler as he has won 6 tournaments on the PGA Tour this year, including the Masters.
