Olympics - Fantastic women's hockey final

[G B Young]

Terrific performance by the Team GB women to win the gold medal. You realise when you watch events like this that you don't normally see much of how overrated football often is.

Great result for them but the end result was a bit of a travesty. The Netherlands were a far better team, far more skilfull and faster. But at the end of the day GB won on penalties so well done to them.

Football isn't overrated, I just think that some other sports are underrated.

Great to watch. Fantastic effort by the GB girls and the Dutch were unlucky to lose.

Thought it was great to see a GB girl get penalised for blocking someones run as she didn't make any attempt to play the ball eg trying to shepherd the ball out of play. Would be great to see a similar rule in football - it's daft that the person trying to play the ball gets penalised rather than the player not attempting to play the ball.

Also how fit were the girls in both teams.
