Very true. When I said football I certainly meant men's football, not women's. I think the Olympics are very important for women's football, but not as much for women's tennis.
Oh and Vogel follows the French and moans about how good the Brits are now compared to the Worlds. Despite the fact she is riding slower thatn the worlds. Is it a case of athletes used to peaking for the winter having to do it in August and just not managing it? A lot of the top performers from the worlds are slower now, while we have gone the other way. She always describes the British sprinters as cannon fodder, which is a hell of a way to describe someone with the palmares of Becky James.
Vogel, you're on the list.

Agree with this, but the games does give great exposure and rare opportunity of equal coverage and standing for the women's sports you mention.
