Make or break time for the guys

Come on GB, I'm a City fan who needs to forget!

>the everlasting tournament

when does this shit end?

>No Shuster
I wanted to see his redemption pt.2

GB IS ON FIRE NORWAY IS TERRIFIED

will we finally break out losing streak?

lol

Saturday for the boys, Sunday for the lads.

lol this game looks so easy

Last night was such an awesome match

...

no bully plz

It's not.

t. knower

He doesn't need redemption, needs to go full on shuster for when we play him

Is that Mr Rogers on the GBR-NOR game?

>Italy

I don't get what is going on, how is this a sport?

SUI-KOR

>We will win all the curlings

What the fuck are we doing.

>brainlet

Great start for the lads

Nice one, lads

I was just about to ask what you were up to.

how do you give away 3 in the first end lmao

We have a better curling team, wrong team got the ticket to the Olympics, corruption

>your brain on capitalism

>Edin for three in the first end

Why didn't norge select the younger team

>3 in the first end
Welcome to the club

this is shit

Tror ni att dom hade curlingföräldrar?

gold medals in the summer olympics should be worth 4 winter ones

medals in judged events should be worth 1/4 of any other medal

I support Norway!

Me too

Oooooooooooooh baby a triple

fuck you japan just let us break our losing streak

triple takeout, naisu

B-babcock pls

Norway suck

:)

Is Koe , Canadian skipper, 43 years old? good
It is amazing, curling is age free sport to participate in Olympics.

Norway's stupid pants make me angrier than they perhaps should.

>4-0

I'm pretty sure one of Germany's female long-track speed skaters is around 45. Age is just a number, my friend.

>No way

the japanese guys are so cute

I wanted to watch tonight but my wife is sick of it. She said that since the US isn't playing she wants to watch something else tonight. I'll be here in spirit boys.

I thought Norway were supposed to be good at Winter sports lmao

Pretty sure they want their opponents to be distracted by those pants. Psychological warfare.

Koe is good. He's no Kevin Martin, but he's probably the best in this tournament.

The only reason he can play at 43 is because he doesn't need to sweep much as a skip.. Having been curling 20 more years than some 20 year old is a big advantage.

Can I put my spirit in your wife?

implying curling is a sport

Curling is not a winter sport tbqh

Now that you say it, I think I might root for you, but it'd hurt as well

>Norway

4-0 here as well

Tell your wife to fuck off or else you'll divorce her. Don't be such a bitch.

No skis in curling
Asthma does not help in curling

Yeah hahaha, they only have 28 medals so far. Absolute garbage.

What did she about the female Russian curler?

this is when you watch with a stream. you can whatever she wants on the tv.

>not a winter sport just because you don't have an advantage with asthma
S E E T H I N G

All good tonight

good meme

Is there not enough cross-country skiing involved for your liking, Bjorn?

Give her one from me, lad

If there were 12 skeleton and curling events we would have that many medals too.

Our problem, too focused on events that don't give out many medals

Totally agree. This sport seems require experiences than masculinity.

Summer version of curling needs to be in 2020's Olympics.

sure

That was only our 4th stolen end this tournament

Wizards levitating balls isn't a sport

We should just bribe the IOC to add more skeleton events.

would love to watch mass start

It's too bad there's no speed skating, snowboarding, bobsleigh, luge, figure skating, hockey, and a shit-ton of skiing. That way, Canada would be in 3rd place in the medal standings. Oh wait...

Who needs to be good at more than 2 sports anyway, am I right?

I'm gonna put it in her tonight friend, I'll be sure to think of you.

She thought the blonde with the glasses was kind of cute

She wants to spend some quality time together. We'll see how it goes.

What's her son want to watch?

What's with all the mouth breathers at the beginning of the thread that don't understand the game? Imagine how retarded you have to be to enter a thread of something you don't understand and started making an ass of yourself.

Anyway, who should I watch since Jewster isn't on?

This is the comfiest I've been watching GB. All our games have barely been more than a point or two in it

>Hahahahaahha get it because it's not your kid ecks dee
Can you at least come up with new material?

This is private latrine by the way

You need to fuck her in the ass and scream out Anna's name just like Eve does. Only way to get your honor back

>submitting to your wife's every whim
Independent, thinking men with gigantic cocks watch curling and they watch it often. Demand your olympic matches like a proper man, pussy.

This. Make your wife appreciate it until she begs to watch it by herself.

>scream out Anna's name just like Eve does.
That's only cause Anna's got the strap on

Norwegians are cheats

This hour of Cred Forums is brought to you by Incels United

how do you cheat in curling? is that even possible?

What's our chance to win gold in men's curling

>end 1: 3 points
>end 2: 1 steal
>end 3: 1 steal

I'm still not convinced on the sweeping. It's strange that sweeping produces enough heat to melt the ice and drastically alter the trajectory of the stone without causing any long-term damages to the playing surface.

Take E
Sweep like a motherfucker

I'm watching the Brits just because I haven't seen them yet. Canadian Billy Corgan might snap if they lose which could be entertaining also.

kek

the sheets are pebbled after every game

Let's say it's a big disappointment if they don't make it to the final at least

It doesn't melt it.

One thing to enter at the start of the tournament but considering we're halfway through you should know what's what by now

Add tobogganing too. That'd be a great mass start race down the snowboard runs.

ask the russian lol

This post brought you by: Captain Reddit. When you're not getting the upvotes you need, go to Cred Forums and act like an attention starved woman (or numale if you like) and get those pathetic (You)'s.

I'd love to see Skelecross, you'd have to drive yourself through turns and jumps with several other competitors, would be pretty fun to watch and to practice as well.

very thin layer of water. like microscopic. it refreezes almost immediately, and doesnt flow anywhere because of surface tension.

UK had a 56 year old win a medal in Horse Dancing at Rio

Have y'all seen Black Panther, guys? Out in cinemas now, get your tickets.

#WhatBlackPantherMeansToMe

>swiss

Rio were fake Olympics.

My sides I like it

noty

what is this guy talking about wiggling pants?

No I'm not black so I'm not interested :)

London the real olympics?

Can we also add the English version too?

...

Someone might love you one day champ, hang in there. I know you'll get that first kiss eventually.

Bring cricket back

Holy fuck just watched a post-Canada match interview NBC did with Shuster. He literally broke down and started crying. George had to finish the interview. Jesus.

It's the same as ice skating, the water layer is microscopic

Sure, good ones

Show me a video

>edin gets overconfident in the semis and ends up with bronze

Fellas, what's your favorite summer Olympics event? Archery here. Watch it as religiously as curling in the Olympics.

Evading positive drug tests

Didn't get to see the match live but watched the replay - incredible game.

cycling cus we dominate everything

Summer olympics are better

From yesterday? The one that was like midnight est?

youtube.com/watch?v=nr6TJxrl3Ng

Similar rules to Pentaque, get the closet ball to the jack to score points.
Except instead of throwing the ball, you roll it and the balls are not perfectly round so they naturally curve.

rowing

Favorite event is judo or archery

I know it. Oldest Olympian from Japan named Hiroshi Hoketsu ( 75 yrs old) tried to go there, but he could not because the horse was sick.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiroshi_Hoketsu

I believe you're the one who said something along the lines of "What the fuck? I'm the same." when I said the only ones I watch every round of are curling and archery.
I also like all the outdoor shooting events in the summer games. Indoor volleyball is the best fap fodder.

Go get pegged by your wife, WBM.

Brits looking good

Well, it 6 2 be Norway right now

Oh well, looks nice. Needs a good technique. I validate your suggestion. Seems bit less fun to play though

Must feel 6 2 be Norway right now

I know you are, but what am I?

no drama this round of mens matches. not really interested in watching the non canada games, unlike last round, or any of the womens matches.

That was me. Was Actually starting to get into archery myself but I snapped my back around the same time and it's almost impossible to pull a bow now.

It's a sport mostly played by pensioners to be honest.

TV comments:
>they might kick out the two yellows
hehe

Japanada looks like a solid match

Yeah they didn't show the interview live but had it on the replay. I'm trying to find a clip.

almost had it. damn but still nice shot good luck boys

Yeah same for Pétanque. But I used to play it with my family when I was younger. I like the aspect of the balls being weighty so you really need to scarp them and not only touch like it is in your version

>dope for curling
>still only get bronze

Needs Punished Shuster for the meme potential.

please use a proxy so you can post with a different flag

Throwing is always going to need more power than rolling.
I'd like to see someone try throwing a curling stone.

>50mm of rain over the next two days
>temperatures as high as 10
I think the snow is finally gonna start going away guys

Would probably break the ice.
It could be a new trial: "Stone's Throwing"

Why don't GB just take out every single stone Norway tries to play and force a 1 every time Norway has the hammer when they have a 4 point advantage.

heheh

LET THE ICE BEGIN

...

Wtf was that

Sounds like the highland games
youtube.com/watch?v=Ytcjy3Em_O8

kek

I tried getting into archery but the clubs were too far at the time. Might try again soon. Be easier to get into than curling that's for sure. I like the looks of the traditional/longbow archery clubs but they're mostly down south in the home counties.

Can't take out any stones that aren't in the house until the 5th stone

not really. huge misses from japan. canada not clean, but still much better than japan.

THIS IS IT KOE!

DON'T FUCK THIS UP!!!

I've seen this in a Carl Barks story, didn't know it still existed. Nice.
This time it would be on ice, maybe with skates, so it could be on winter olympics. I think we just created an interesting thing.

I actually went out and bought my own recurve and the club I shot at proceeded to shut down a few weeks later

thats what they are doing

>BBC switching to ski style where we'll come 9th or something
>But first social media shite
Really?

if u are canadian, the good news is that you have a huge amount of wilderness to just walk into and practice shooting. get a target setup and the entire country is your range.

She's Czech I think. Or some other eastern Euro. She was busted for PEDs before.

Even as just a hobby it would be cool. I have land I can practice on which is cool until I got semi-competitive about it. If my back gets fixed. Closest curling club is about a 2hour drive which feckin sucks. Sure you'd have something near for curling - isn't it bigger there since it originated in Scotland or not? I'd love to get into it.

Too bad, this half-pipe thing is so lame.

Red button, lad

take one point or give 3 points
which would be good?

I know, but still annoying

Bit sick of the BBC peddling these tedious sob stories, tbqh. It's not fucking X-Factor, no one cares about muh depression and muh anxiety, so bore off.

take 1 always

For once we don't have any of that, surprisingly. They didn't talk about the host country either.

That sucks. My mate had a plastic short bow that we used to play with in his back garden til I put a few arrows through the hay bales and punched holes in his dad's shed.
I would be if I was Scottish. Midlander here and looking up on the 'get inspired' BBC site the nearest is about two hours from me and up one of the most congested motorways.

kek, we're so bad.

Wew

PUNISHED SHUSTER, A MAN DENIED BY HIS HOMELAND

hey, a left handed curler

>Korea

There's a reason literally all the GB curlers are Scots

>motorway

fuck him

That bites. Thought maybe it bled down south of Scotland too but I suppose not. I truly believe curling has the potential to take off soon though.

what's the name of the language you're speaking dickhead?

But Elise "If their eyes are slanted, they're getting planted" Christie is a brave little warrior who deserves our sympathy.

pretty gay, i was liking the snow

it last snowed in like october and everyone thought we'd ACTUALLY have a winter this year

...

There are two places to do curling outside of scotland, neither of them easy to get to

Anna Sloan's a leftie desu

it sure isnt british

>2
jesus

It's come down south of the border plenty, just really spread out.
Strangely there are more shooting clubs around here than archery too. Both pretty damn local though.

this fatty sux

matt hamilton's enthusiasm is infectious. he's like a little excitable kid. he gets so happy, and also, so sad.

>One is in Tunbridge wells
Why?

I would love to see him skip

well, britain has a long history of shooting sport. the whole idea of a sport jacket is from shooting to begin with.

>USA Curling tried to backstab The Shust

Is this any good?

i can't tell if you mean like, the act of skipping along, or skipping a team. either way, i'd watch both.

Give londoners something to do on a day off

nice shotto

>Canada kept fucking up again and again

top zozzle

>yet somehow still in the lead

Londoners are too busy praising Allah desu

LEL I would like to see him take over for Shitster. Could see him physically skipping after a good end though.

Fuck Kennedy

True. Archery has been damned important to our nation in the past. Got a few books on the longbow for Christmas and it was a mainstay in English armies for centuries. Hell, Jack Churchill took his longbow to WWII.
I'm right next to a large Chase which was hunting grounds for centuries too they have a couple shooting clubs still going up there even if hunting there ended decades ago.

are you talking about Shuster's body of work?

IT'S OGRE

>Norway

No way

EASY
EASY
EASY

Lel.

I've heard Rowan Cheshire's story about 4 times over the past few days. Fucking kill me.

...

>Having culture

Norway getting wiped up here.

Wait, you can concede in the curling?

>have law school interview
>"Who is one person, living or dead, that you would like to have a conversation with'
>i immediately replied "John Shuster"

ello ello ello what's all this then?

Better luck next time, Norgay.

Yes

Yes

The rule didn't need to exist before this match

...

As long as 6 ends have been completed, yes.

lel

If we do good in Curling are we getting hot or getting very cold?

It's basically a competition on who can fuck up the most. The women's top this, though.

>7
What the fuck happened in that end?

I m talking about uniqueness of american sports wear.

>Norway not conceding cause the bus back to the village hasn't arrived yet
BBC with the bants

Wait they just showed on ABC that the US men made it, did they not?? I

no asthma advantage

youtube.com/watch?v=RceHlCJ4zrU

>those crotches

oh my

Some states have culture too, user.

BBC has no right to be this cheeky tbqh. It's fucking Norway. They're winter Olympic gods. We've only got medals because of spider man suits.

geez

Christ

Is that where the pee pee go

S O Y

So teams just give up in curling when the gap becomes too big?

just tuned in. the fuck?

Realistically you're not gonna get 9 points in 3 ends

If Russians cheat at it, it's a sport.

hello where are qts?

Pretty much

>Canada misses double peel twice
>Japan missed clearing stones multiple times as well

man, nerve wracking game

>doping in curling

might as well just get some beers, user.

3 bongs and 15 bings away

lmao Viktor Kjell what a dude
streamable.com/ftdp9

Never Curled in my life and I like to think I'd be able to slot into that Qatar team nicely tbdesu

>30-0

>turn on the game
>9-3 in the 7th end

Increased bloodflow helps with muscle fatigue and stamina. It does give a bit of an advantage.

Canada overwhelms in tactics and accuracy over us. seems we should give a white flag to them already.

they have curling at the country club I belong to and I get high in the parking lot then go smash beers and curl. shit would be boring af sober

Think you could do a job in this Norway team

The Chinese wait until it is mathematically impossible

both teams are playing below their standard. lots of misses all around. canada just has less misses.

...

I'd have conceded last frame and got a round in so I'd definitely be better for morale

Britain in a rush

>country club curling
>pretending like curling isnt a peasant sport played by sheepherders and potato farmers

This is spot on. At first I was thinking he'd be a great skip but I wonder if he's too immature to handle it, he gets easily frustrated and his decision making is spotty sometimes. Glad he's on the team though.

ninight lads

Kennedy is doing good. Look at his shot at the moment. really good

Guess you could look at the mixed to see what he might be like

Nice nights work, boys

>GB v Japan in a few bongs

My penis is ready for some HARD YAPPING

It looks like the top 4 are going to be
>Sweden
>Switzerland
>Canada
>Great Britain
They all have at least a 2 win lead over the next teams with 1 or 2 games left

Night dude

when the math says it isnt happening

what did you mean by this?

>10-3
welp

I feel like he'd at least make firm decisions and his team wouldn't second guess him like they do with Shuster

night

kennedy always does good. he's probably the best overall player in the world.

CLUUUUUUUTCH by Sweden

Didn't get to watch much but from what I heard they shot at the top of field in terms of % but didn't make the medal bracket. So my concerns might be spot on.

I want us to win but I can close my eyes when the shouting starts and just pretend

actually no. he's not the shot caller on the mixed team with his big sister either. i think he's in the position that suits him best. throwing middle rocks mostly for takeouts, and a dedicated sweeper, and contributing to team energy. i dont think his personality suits being the shot caller.

>potential Great Britain - Canada final
Kino

He's definitely a strong sweeper.

Korean skipper reminds me of the Asian guy from the IT Crowd episode where Moss goes on Countdown

What the fuck did he mean by this

More likely to be sweden canada

Apparently Norway sent a shit team to the Olympics and snubbed some young guns so they could send the old man celeb

>muh wacky pants

True. He is a big dude with a strong throw and sweep. I just like his attitude - it's very classic American.

well hes retiring after this, and lets face it, norway is not a medal contender regardless. at least with the pants etc, they get more exposure. i understand the decision from a big picture standpoint of the olympic commitee. sucks for the athletes.

Someone may have already asked this, but what is the best game on now?

I have an incestral stake in all except Korea vs Switzerland if that helps

Is this KOR-SUI match important to the standings or is it a bit of a dead rubber?

i think of him like a puppy dog. and he seems like a fun guy to hang out and have a beer with. he's still young so he'll be in the curling program for a while yet, which is good. i think hes mid 20s.

Scotland and Canada are THE curling nations, regardless of how well they've performed this olympics

South Korea is already eliminated
Switzerland is practically in already

strange

I see him as a fat version of Blain from Predator.

We literally have more World Championships on the men's side (and women's for that matter)

More like a dead stone amiritelads

Livescores

NOR 3-10 GBR
JPN 4-6 CAN
KOR 5-6 SUI
ITA 3-6 SWE

You're pretty much spot on. He's middle American good guy. He's like a champion cornholer type of guy.

LEL Fuck yes. I like it.

canada vs japan is pretty close

That's what the Beeb said. This Norway team was all like mid 40s but there's another team that was doing "well" on the international scene and went to the International Championships. There was no qualifying tournament and they sent the team that was "popular" in Norway.

Apparently the Skip or someone appears on Celebrity TV shows in Norway quite often

ok japans men, u need to stop this NAISU shit right fucking now. im already muting the womens games, i dont want to mute you guys too.

Amen

That's just how they talk, Cananon

is ulstrud done?

RIP old man

interesting way to launch

That's not a very naisu attitude you have there

good bounce

yellow is in

>having two more golds is more impressive than having twelve more silvers

Is Canada going to take 2 points?

>tfw the memes get too real

www.nbcolympics.com/video/shuster-overcome-emotion-after-us-upset-canada

Lads...

Thanks

just not as fun without Shuster. threads are a lot better without that weird military American though.

i hope so, no koe being cowardly

>this comment
>from the United States of Bronze
how unexpected, yes 1 gold is worth more than 100000 silvers

>watches Talladega Nights once

I hope they never cure you. You're disturbing.

Unironically yes. One gold medal is worth more than 100 silvers.

Who's your favourite curler?

Even I'm agreeing with you there

? Never seen it ? ?
?

Shitster

> win by micro metre
What measure methods were used when the times without measuring equipment ?

LOL

Switzerland getting beat by SKR even though they won their last 2 in amazing fashion

that feel with Q

Watching the Jap team has raised one question in my mind: Will Team Gaki ever play a curling batsu of some sort?

If Korea manages to win this match we've won the group stage also^^

>>>>>>>>>>>>mfw Canada finishes 4th

There's a quote
>If you're not first, you're last
That plays a moderately large part of the film

Well there's a thing called the medal table where it's ranked by golds, then by silvers, then by bronzes.

(except in the US when they're no winning by golds but by bronzes)

Speaking of which

Koe needs to step down and give the skip to Marc Kennedy

...

japan in trouble here

I know we're meming but obviously gold is better. Though more bronze and silver means you've competed at a high level consistently.

no bulli

>mfw the Buffalo Bills in the 90s

I'd be happy with that

I didn't watch a single match yesterday.

As funny as it is watching Shuster fail repeatedly, I'm happy for him
