That last one. Wow.
40 is good enough. We have way more silver and bronze.JDUB08AG said:Honestly we need 41. China will probably win weightlifting tomorrow. Unless you are considering a tie means we win.YokelRidesAgain said:
As expected, China picks up gold medal #39 in the final event of women's boxing.
The US will need 40 golds to take this.

His main guy wears that flag - just a nod to him.
Pop probably wants Jean Luc Melenchon to hold him.
Personal connection? He coached 5 of the US players at the last Olympics.bowhuntr said:
Okay, I'm not a fan of all Pop's antics but I also don't believe the Olympics, especially with this basketball team, requires 100% patriotic commitment when you have a personal connection to a player on another team. Contrary to common belief, this isn't war.

And its not like these Olympics were in freaking Houston. Pop decided to get on a plane and fly across the Atlantic Ocean to root against his own country.
As far as I'm concerned he can stay there. He would probably be happier anyway.
Unless he was wearing Star Spangled face paint I support him being deported, and I don't want to hear any namby pamby liberal mumbo jumbo about him being a natural born citizen.Aggie Therapist said:
You know I was kidding about the Coach Pop comment wearing a French flag….right?

We need to win at least 2 of our 3 gold medal bouts tomorrow. Women's ball, women's ball and a wrestling match

Of course, it would also help if the Chinese woman pulled her arms off in weightlifting.
U.S. gymnast Jordan Chiles must return her bronze medal in the floor exercise, the International Olympic Committee said Sunday, upholding findings that a coach’s appeal that got her on the podium was submitted four seconds too late. https://t.co/303BrvllyO pic.twitter.com/sX59yxdBha
