Anyways, things got off to a good start for the U.S. today with a 1-0 soccer win<\/a> over Japan. I know the women played yesterday and lost, but I’m not very interested in that tournament so it doesn’t count to me. You’ll learn that I have my own version of what counts at the Olympics.<\/p>\n

For the soccer geeks, here’s my quick assessment of the U.S. – we need to utilize the wings better, Jozy and Freddy need to play together, a ref with more backbone would have made McBride more valuable since they hacked the hell out of him with no real punishment, Mo Edu kicked butt at central defense even if he did get away with a thing or two, and those uniforms looked fugly with no flag or shield or anything to identify who we are.<\/p>\n

I might watch the opening ceremonies tomorrow, if only for the comedy value of the Cirque de Soleil crap they pull, the goofy outfits some countries wear, and the insipid commentary. But Saturday and Sunday will be chock full of TV goodness. On Sunday morning, men’s soccer plays at 7:30 a.m. with basketball set for a 10 a.m. tip off. Wow.<\/p>\n

Don’t forget all the evening swimming finals with Michael Phelps and Katie Hoff leading the charge. The Olympics are here,and I’m pumped.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
