The Olympic "experience" starts with a hiccup - the game that took 4 hours.

Morocco defeats Argentina 2-1 in a controversial opener to the Paris Mens Football tournament.

Paris 2024: Argentina's Olympic football opener against Morocco a 'circus' - Javier Mascherano

Argentina coach Javier Mascherano describes the chaotic ending to his team's opening game of the Olympic football tournament as a "disgrace" and "a circus".

Opening ceremony (currently live at 4.30am) has been utter shit so far... Just so so bad

It was good to see Gojira belting out a tune at the opening ceremony.
I didn’t mind the structure of it, bringing the athletes down the Seine with performances going on along the banks.
Unlucky with the weather.

Great first day for team Australia.
We finish leading the medal tally after 3 gold and 2 silver.
Unlucky for the 7s Rugby boys, coming 4th.
Unlucky for the 3m divers who were a good chance of silver only to bugger up their last dive and drop to 5th.

I felt terrible for the poor girl who completely lost it on her dive,it will probably prey on her mind for the rest of her life.It was good to see the support and encouragement she got from her diving partner and coaching staff immediately though

It’ll be short lived .. but damn we punch well above our weight for a small population

We always punch high at the start of an Olympic campaign as the swimmers are world class elite and we do well in cycling and rowing.

I watched her race last night, it was very tense. I felt like she was going to come off on every corner she took as it was really wet and slippery.
Excellent performance from her.

The ref's in the 7's make NRL referees look great

Refs are a disgrace everywhere!
Like West Harbour experience in the Sydney Shute Shield - simply not up to it!

It’s handy when the swimming is up first, and Brown slays them with Grace.
What a ride.
