Greene Expects World Title

[tafnut]

is the headline at
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/athleti ... 168815.stm

the pertinent lines are:
"A lot of people don't think I will be able to win again, but I think I am about to shock the world," said Greene.

"I think 9.94 could win Monday's final but I'm going to run 9.80-something."


I WANT Greene to win; I hope he wins; I like Greene, but like the boy who cried wolf, he's said these kinds of things before and then got beaten badly. I moved him down to the bronze in my contest entry, but would love it if he won.

Re: Greene Expects World Title

TAFNUT-

When Green makes comments like that it sounds like he is trying to convince himself.

I take this as a sign that he isn't very confident and has to talk confidently to get the juices flowing. Probably because of his past record with similiar comments - like you said "crying wolf".

I'm with you, bronze if any medal at all.
