    There was no budget cut. The budget will be met in full. WITHOUT overpricing.

    This will prove to be the Olympics greatest regret in EPIC proportions. The sailors have to be disinfected after racing in the cesspool Rio is using for water sports. Brazil also though enema's is an olympic sport as well.

    It will be the biggest party the world has ever seen. Comparable to the 2014 World Cup.

    And you Saxons are not invited. If we seeing any of you here, we'll kick your ass back to the hole from where you came out.

    Nostril @1 and 4 shut up!

    Without the assistance of the UK Olympic team there would be no Olympics in Brazil! At the London Olympics the Mayor of Rio stated publicly on TV “how on earth are we going to follow that?” Thats why the London team have been helping Rio for the last four years.

    Anyway, you are really an Argie. The Olympics is run by the Olympic committee of ALL nations, Brazil is merely next years host. Everyone is welcome.

    Shut your stupid gob your immature looney teenager. Get back in your bedroom and do what you do. Or, get down to the Olympic bay and do something useful like assisting with clearing up all the turds floating about there.

    Probably Bras is correct. They will try to keep within their budget but this means cutting back on promised expenditure.
    If your Saxons are the same as TIT's Anglos then you will not have a Games worth attending and the loss of income will be immense as Brazilians are too poor to buy tickets for the main events.
    They are even cutting back expenditure for Mardi Gras in order to balance the books. Just think, the ordinary Brazilian will be paying for the Olympics for decades to come.
    However there is a ray of hope for you, there is a vacancy for a turd fisher - a job for which you are most suitable.

    Let me see, where did the Saxons hail from. The answer is Germany as there is still a state called Saxony in the Federal Republic. So you will have to exclude them also. Not going to be much of a games, is it !

    You have failed again.

    They were invading your land and we were with their land.

    It seems that they succeeded. You are as stupid as them.

    It seems the Olympics Committee are as stupid as FIFA is crooked. Pity the Olympics will not be half as good as the football was.

    Is there a 'Gold Turd' award for the poor sod who swallows more shit than anyone else?
