The Olympics have begun!

[Brillig]

Yes, I'm an Olympics nut :) Sue me ;)

Wait, we have lawyers here... don't sue me.

USA vs Greece soccer on MSNBC now...

[MrBug708]

USA soccer isn't in the Olympics....

[SirFozzie]

Must be women's as the men didn't qualify

[Alf]

It is the women tournament indeed.

[JeeberD]

USA! USA!

[Peregrine]

*yawn* Wake me up when NFL regular season starts.

[SirFozzie]

better yet.. wake him up after the last play of the super bowl :)

[Ben E Lou]

Is that that thing where they play all those foreign National Anthems?

[GoldenEagle]

Is this an offical match?

[SirFozzie]

it is part of the Olympic women's soccer tournament, yes..

the problem is, it takes about 16-20 days to run a tournament and give proper rest. Problem is, the Olympics only last a few days less then that. So they open the tournament before the Opening Ceremonies..

it's normal.. the "Miracle on Ice" team in 1980 played their first game the day of the opening ceremonies.

[sabotai]

Woohoo! I've been waiting for the Olympics to start for the last few days. I can't wait for Olympic boxing to start up.
