How come world soccer players fall to the ground after they are barely touched meanwhile the 49ers are getting touched every play and by touched I mean slammed to the gills and do the opposite like your hit didn't hurt me...can a professional soccer player please explain that to me? Thank you. And btw if all the Amrcn football football players had dedicated their lives to playing soccer, Brasil, Spain, or Germany wouldn't have the #1 position. It would for sure be the football football players. Not only that the Americans would literally be twice their size but all this is just a fantasy that will never happen.

@jhing bangaman…. You make me so excited and HOTT thinking about the Atlanta games! They were awesome.. Atlanta misled the Olympic committee regarding there heat and humidity… (you would think they could check these things themselves)… ended up inserting it in the backend when Ali (Baba) lit the torch in Olympic stadium.. I wish I could get my hands on yours though but it’s impossible! It was so tight and wet that the pressure to take it down couldn’t be denied any longer. The stadium came down nice and hard but it always starts out slow and steady with explosive results at the end.. unfortunately they had to make room for a third, but ironically it was the lady who wanted something new.. not in its place but to JOIIN!! It was fairly quick though because everyone came so fast to see the implosion. It’s gone now but memories are forever!! So back to you Bangaman!! I hope the Olympics come to my home country before my time is up!! Until then, I will fantasize about you in Atlanta heat.

Michael Johnson was my example, hero and great sprinter! I ran straight up just like, Michael Johnson, when I attended High School. . I was able to run the 100, 200, 400, 4×100 (2nd & anchor legs) sprint relay and 4×400 relay. So, I thank God for Michael Johnson and his style of sprinting and being a positive example for me and other sprinters. 👍😎 Rj

I was in Atlanta when Michael Johnson set the World Record in the 200. Remember the sparkle of the golden shoes, Turned to the guy sitting in front of me and he said “He caught a flyer”. We looked at the replay and he said , “I was wrong”. MJ got out of the gate soooooo fast. I have nothing but the fondest memories of Atlanta. The excitement, driving to Atlanta, finding that the city of Atlanta had provided parking and buses to take us in. The only thing i could complain about was the high price of the food. $15.00 for a Big MAC.

Yeah Usain Bolt beat it by 2 hundredths of a second ,the width of a hand, and later by 0.13 seconds. People forget in his era Johnson didn’t just win he obliterated peers and records, smashing Menea record by near half a second and same in 400 and always ten meters ahead of the field in all his races. He literally transformed the 400 into a sprint like Roger Black said. Seriously a legend as Jesse Owens or anyone. We’re it not for Barcelona food poisoning, he would have had another pair of Olympic golds.

I love Michael Johnson. Brilliant athlete, extremely well spoken and as a British citizen, I love watching and listening to him on our screens. I also enjoy the camaraderie between himself and the BBC sports presenters and commentators. Their chats come over as very natural - as though they are friends outside broadcasting - Gabby, Denise, Colin etc - When I listen to Michael - I often pray and hope that both current and young British athletes (coming up) - are listening. He is incredibly knowledgeable and that voice.....hm
