Olympic soccer note


The U.S. Women's
Soccer Team was defeated today by Norway, 2-0. The team seemed leaderless and undisciplined without top player Abby Wambach (broken leg). This is only the second time the US women have lost an Olympics game. The last time was also to Norway in 2000.


The U.S. Men’s
Olympic Team is ready to kick off its campaign at the 2008 Olympic Games, taking on Japan in the Group B opener on Thursday, Aug. 7, at 5 p.m. local time (5 a.m. ET) from Tianjin Olympic Sport Stadium in Tianjin, China. The game, one day before the Opening Ceremonies in Beijing, will be shown live on MSNBC, the NBC Olympic Soccer Channel and Universal HD.
