Olympic Soccer started yesterday
I know only a handful of people care.
USA Women, #1 in the world, lost to Norway 2-0. USA Men beat Japan 1-0 this morning. |

I was flipping through the channels last night and saw this. I was thinking to myself I thought this all started on Friday. The opening ceremony is Friday correct? I actually want to see it. Someone the other day was saying they have spent over 300 million putting it together. That's crazy, for what.... a 45 minute show.

It does, but due to you needing at least 2 days of rest in between soccer games, they had to start early.

I don't know WHAT's up with the WNT.
Big win for the Men, though, especially with Holland and Nigeria drawing.

Not a soccer fan. But it is the Olympics so I watched the gals get whooped by Norway.

No. Group stages, then single elimination.
Each group has 4 teams, the top 2 advance. It's a points system. A win gives you 3 points, a tie gives you 1 point and no points for a loss. In the event of a tie in overall points, they use goal differential. Right now, the USA is winning their group. |

Indoor soccer can be exciting. Outdoor, snoozefest.
