I had to run out the door right after the USA Canada game but damn, what a game to watch. God, I love Alex Morgan, what a babe

Awesome game in women's soccer yesterday. Alex Morgan is my favorite, and watching Doc awkwardly talk soccer after the match was funny.

Argentina's Men's basketball team is impressing me. Good game at the half so far, USA up 1.

Argentina threw that game. Scola and Manu not playing for basically the entire second half and most of the second quarter, along with Prigioni not playing at all due to "kidney stones". I think they were just trying not to give anything away when they inevitably meet in the medal rounds. They're a really smart team.

EDIT: Anybody else catch that sucker punch to the groin that Carmelo Anthony took? The guy who did that should be suspended for the rest of the tournament because that was lame from a basketball standpoint and very unmanly.

It was funny as hell. Plus the dude barely grazed him. And I have no problem with it because Paul tried to punk him out in the second with some bullshit pushdown away from the refs. He was defending himself from being messed with. And hitting Melo in the nuts is great regardless.

Goddamn, Gabby Douglas *bleep*ed up even more on the beam finals. Congratulations to Aly Raisman though, she did well.

Also, I think I was asleep today during the 200 meter dash beginning stuff today, damn! Maybe it's today I dunno. I'll catch it on the internet or somewhere though. But still damn...

I'm tempted to look up Usain Bolt just to spoil it for myself, lol.

Great game ahead of Football division - BRAZIL vs MEXICO. I was expecting a Brazil-Japan/Brazil-Mexico ending so not so disappointed but still, want Japan to win!

Well, hope they get the bronze, I think they will definitely win against South Korea.

Brazil is definitely a great team but well, Mexico might just have luck on their side. The curse on Brazil of never winning the Olympic gold in football (DESPITE BEING ONE OF THE BEST TEAMS IN THE WORLD) might just come back to haunt them. Can't discard the power of the underdog!

Looking forward to the Basketball Men's finals too, this will most probably be between "Dream Team" USA vs Argentina (I WISH). There's France, Brazil and other teams though...

Women's floor exercise was good, but damn, did you see the Men's High Bar afterwards? That may have been the best gymnastics I've seen so far, and I usually like watching the girls' better.

And I hope Misty and Kerri win even though they're playing another U.S. team. Just since it's their last time together and I've grown up watching them winning, and yeah. xD

Yeah, the floor exercise was good. So were the asses, especially Aly Raisman's. But goddamn yes, those guys were *bleep*ing epic and pretty much flawless except for some of their dismounts. It was really fun to watch though, because they were giving it everything that they had.

Also, I want Misty May and Walsh to win more I believe. Either way we get gold and silver anyways, and not *bleep*ing China!

Edit: Lol my mom just called me downstairs not too long ago to tell me that the Olympics/track and field was on. I just wanted to be like "Mom, I've had the Olympics on since it started. Why wouldn't I be watching it? Especially track and field because I actually did the sport".

Misty and Kerri get gold. I watched the end of the first set and the start of the second and it was a fairly plain game.

And when I was watching Spain/France in basketball, one of the commentators (really shitty ones too, where's Doug ) mentioned there is no 3 in the key rule. I think I may have misheard, but can anybody confirm that? If it's true, it's *bleep*ing ridiculous and severely limits slashing players to basically nothing on offense, and it's not surprising France can't win.

Yeeepp, that is true. I read that the other day on a page about the differences between international basketball rules vs. the NBA. I'm really hoping that they don't push for a "World Cup" or whatever of basketball because the international rules are just stupid. And I don't really get as much enjoyment out of watching international play compared to the NBA for some reason.

Also yaay, Misty and Kerri won!
