Olympics Start Tomorrow!
Yes, I said tomorrow, Wednesday, 8/6/08. There are so many soccer games that need to be played that the Women's soccer (or football for you non-Yanks) will start tomorrow. Games to be played are:
Argentina vs Canada, China vs Sweden, Germany vs Brazil, North Korea vs Nigeria, Japan vs New Zealand, and Norway vs US.
The US game can be watched in rerun (i.e. not live) on Universal HD (I have no idea what that means). It looks like no actual Olympic coverage will be shown on NBC and the affiliated stations (MSNBC, CNBC, USA, etc.) until the opening ceremonies. That just shows you how important women's soccer is to the sports world.
Good luck girls!
UPDATE 3pm 8/6/08 - The US women lost to Norway, 2-0. :(
