The Olympics

USA Womens soccer came back and defeated France 4-2, way to go USA!

Saw an awesome mens football game today, Brazil Vs Egypt: Brazil raced to a 3-0 lead by about the 30th minute and then Egypt pegged them back to 3-2 with about 20 minutes to go! Despite there only being about 26,000 spectators, the atmosphere was absolutely electric with a real carnival spirit on the streets afterwards!

Wales praised for 'festival spirit' in opening fixtures of London 2012

Oh and Team GB drew 1-1 Vs Senegal, their goal was set up and scored by Welsh players...

I enjoyed my second favorite team, Honduras, play a 2-2 tie with Morroco. I did two mission trips to Honduras, sentimental value cheering them on

I also watched Spain not appreciate being handled by Japan, great game!

The Olympics are promoting international cooperation, just not the type you might think.

The off-color snickering has only intensified since American soccer goalkeeper Hope Solo gave an interview about sex in the Olympic village (the CliffsNotes version: Whoa, there's a lot!) and others have noted that 100,000 condoms, or nearly 10 for every athlete scheduled to compete, will be made available.

I thought the Canucks established a golden standard for the worst opening/closing Olympic ceremony.
I was wrong.
Brits are my champions.

[Serb]

OMG. What a clowns.

My Favorite Drinking Game: During the Entrance of the Nations correctly name the Countries after seeing the Flag, else drink.

At first its easy, then the Female Flagcarriers sabotage it by not waving their Flag; then all Hope is lost.

I'm waiting for the tennis! Oh and Ian Millar.

Russian girls are simply the best.
Women's beach volleyball Russia-China and Women's basketball Russia-Canada.
Two amazing games.

OMG China! Stop winning medals!

I'm seeing Japan Vs South Africa women's football tomorrow and walked past the Mexico team checking into the Hilton for one of Wednesday's double header.

Beach volleyball just isn't the same with the more modest outfits.

And the NBC coverage here is just awful. I avoided all the sports and news sites yesterday so I could watch the swimming without knowing who won. So right before the segment where Missy Franklin was to complete the quick turnaround for the 100 meter backstroke, they air a promo for their morning show where they announce the guest will be GOLD WINNING Missy Franklin. Un****ing believable.

I agree. I was watching one of the news shows the other day and they told you to close your eyes if you did not want to see the results. They did nothing verbally and then a woman newscaster comes on and basically gives away the information. How stupid can you be? The newsman had just made sure you could miss it. Where was she when that happened? "Listening is a skill".

This is what happens when you tape delay sports. TV networks have lost their expertise of doing tape delay of things that people care about. Bowling, poker and bike racing don't count because no one cares.
