Half time and I'm not really interested in the match (Sweden 0 - 0 South Africa). A downfall of the Olympic plan to allow the individual associations to allocate places at the games, the best teams don't always make it, and to incorporate all the continents, you get some severe mis-matches and some dross. So I've taken a look for some of the more interesting stories from today:
