    Nope, no age limits for the womens game.

    Do women use a smaller goal? It looks much smaller

    If Katie Taylor is now guaranteed a bronze medal- how does that work if there are four fighters in the semis?

    There is no box off for bronze, so the two losing semi finalists get bronze.

    No 3rd place play off!

    Not sure why though?? Seems strange two bronzes but we'll take it sure!

    It's because the IOC and organisers would only allow a certain amount of time to be allocated for the competition. Which is bad form imo

    US win the football at the end of extra time. Canada deserved it more imo.

    Fitting that the hottest player on the pitch scored the winner. Alex Morgan is fine.

    Is there a World Cup in women's soccer? Like an every 4 year job or something?

    Should be age limited if so at olympics or not be there at all along with mens football

    Probably itching to give him a slap. Which is the feeling I get whenever I see or hear that clown.

    Yeah, the last one was last year, Japan (who were unfancied) beat the USA in the final.

    I am just loving the RTE Roundup with Darragh Maloney commentating...just has me in stitches all the time.

    I thought it was obnoxious to be honest and changed the station

    I wish they would show more sports and less fluff

    And, although he isn't brilliant, Mowbray is certainly better than ''Motty''™, who ready for the humane killer at this stage.

    They have a women's hockey team too, but you're right, haven't seen them too much overall... they've only got the one bronze so far.......

    This basketball commentary is laughably bad. The main commentator repeatedly referred to Chandler as " Anthony " and a minute ago their he said, "Anthony replaces Chandler, former teamates now ." Does he know something the rest of us doesn't? They are both NYK players!
