  We'll see what happens when all the chips are down. Definitely gonna be tough for Phelps, but he keeps rising to the occasion. Hopefully he has one more clutch performance left in him.

  I have zero doubt Phelps will be fresh, ready and IMO he seems to be best at this stroke...but if that guy goes 50.83 again Phelps still may not win

  I knew Biles winning by over 2 points was insane. But it was more than '80-'12 COMBINED.

  Women's soccer looks eminent to be going to a shootout vs Sweden.
• Ironman92

  

  I don't know shit about soccer but I think Sweden just got hosed. USA may have right before but she looked to pull down a player opening her up to score. I think they called offsides on Sweden and that wasn't the case at all the announcers said.
