I'm watching a tape-delayed broadcast of Senegal-UAE which might have determined Senegal's birth or exclusion from the elimination round of the Olympics. I googled Senegal to see exactly where it was and the first result... a news release that Senegal ties UAE 1-1... This spoiler shit is so infuriating. Yesterday, I avoided Yahoo all day so I could enjoy not knowing HOW somebody or a team won (Yahoo has been announcing details of races while claiming the "spoiler" is knowing who won) and at the bottom of the Yahoo page, which I thought was safe from all that shit was the announcement of both Phelps taking his 19th medal and Gold for Women's Gymnastics.
Why is it so damn hard to use the internet without having results broadcast to you?
In the meantime, only one team made the quarters with a loss - Egypt, which lost to Brazil.
Senegal is on the opposite side of the bracket as Brazil, allowing Brazil to be upset before they'd meet (possibly by host GB, of which Senegal completely outplayed in the 2nd half of their match.)
Senegal is in fantastic shape and is fast as hell, especially in the second half. They are now 12:1 on bovada (5th favorite and play 9:1 Mexico in the Quarters)
2nd favorite is GB. Obvious dream scenario is GB vs. Senegal.
