olympics 2008

how many teams will play on the olympics?

I don't know - I know that some have already qualified (through WWC etc), but don't know if others can compete to qualify.

Perhaps someone here knows

The draw for the Olympics 2008 has been made.

Group E

China

Sweden

Canada

Argentina


Group F

Germany

North Korea

Brazil

Nigeria


Group G

USA

Norway

Japan

New Zealand



USA look to have the easiest draw of the teams. Sweden and Germany both have it tough.

What happened to groups A, B and C?

I thinks Sweden wil go for the first )place in the group
i'm happy with this group

Germany will have the most dificult games agianst Brazil

bud i think sweden wil beat Canada a
the only thing that can beat them is a referee that's gonna blew everything agianst China (the home team you see
so how many teams will go to the second stage?

the 3 winners of the groups and the best 2nd?

I dunno , maybe it's a Chinese thing

who beated australia in qualifies?

You've got me on that one. Did they play New Zealand maybe.

No they are in Asia nowdays, so North Korea and Japan must have, or one of them anyway.

A,B,C and D are the groups is the Men's Football tournament

All except the last team in each group and the worst 3rd placed team.

Thanks for that - and I missed group D

what day will the olympics start agian+?

Do you mean the whole thing or just the football ?

football

The Olympics start on the 8th August and finish on the 24th August. I can't seem to find a date for the women's football yet. It'll most probably be announced nearer the time.

The women's football tournament at the 2008 IOC Summer Olympics will be held from 2008-8-6 through 2008-8-21.

I really hope we'll be able to watch these matches on TV.

Thanks for the dates.

I hope so too but considering Eurosport haven't shown Four Nations , Algarve Cup or The Peace Queen Cup this year I'm not really that hopeful

Yes, I'm afraid you're right about that.

I have a solution. However, there are a couple hurdles. NBC (US network that have the rights to the Olympics) will be streaming the entire Beijing Olympics. By them stating 'entire', I'm assuming this means every game, every competition during the Games.

But here is the catch. You must have Windows Vista Home Premium or Ultimate as your operating system. So if you are using a Mac, You're out of luck; if you have a PC but you're still using XP, you're out of luck.

Catch number 2. If you have Vista on your computer, you will still need to download a piece of software from/by Wavexpress, whom is the company that NBC has partnered up with. As for the software itself, as I have never use it, nor heard of it, I can't say for sure if it'll have advertisement galore (which is likely), and/or potential spy/adware.
