    Uruguay broke my heart... Now all I'm hoping for is for Brazil to lose.

      Mexico has the most talented U-23 team and has a real shot at gold. I do think it will be Mexico vs. Brazil for the gold medal match and hope Mexico wins. Kind of getting tired of the usual suspects winning all of the soccer games.

        I hope you are right, I'm so nervous...lol.


        The women's USA soccer team is getting criticized for over celebrating a bit too much against New Zealand. Thoughts?

            I like sportsmanship though, I don't like to be labeled as the big bully American...that's not what the Olympic games are all about.

                I hear you. Really they should act like they have been there before and they have. Preplanned stuff is petty in my book. They better make sure they win the gold doing this stuff.

                  You hit the nail on the head.

                  USA women's soccer team is by far the best team in the world...there's really no need for over celebrations...like you said...they've been there before (many times)...they should just beat everyone with coolness...like Mike Tyson used to do when he KO'd opponents...he just stared at them...and calmly walked to his corner...no jumping up and down...no screaming or shouting...the very best don't need to do those things...save that for underdogs who once in a while get lucky...lol.

                    over celebrating is annoying as hell...even what serena did rubbed me the wrong way...Just do it before you play the game like this dude http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJPes...ure=plpp_video

                      Yeah...seen that boxing video before...but I read on Wiki that it was a bit doctored...

                      In 2011, Ahmed was the subject of a viral video, which appeared to show him flamboyantly entering the ring, only to be knocked out by his opponent in the first round. The video was revealed to be doctored, featuring Ahmed entering the ring in a 2009 match, and Ahmed suffering a first-round knock-out in a 2010 match.

                      Still funny as heck...because he was still cocky as hell, lol.


                      Yeah, Serena overdid it as well...I mean...come on...she has won multiple pro titles...is obviously one of the best of all times...and always seems to kick Sharapova's butt anyway...so why act like she just won the lottery?

                        USA women's soccer has been struggling a bit lately. They are no longer the dominate team they once were. They had a few lucky breaks and a crazy comeback to beat Canada yesterday which has a good women's soccer team, but not even on the same level as the USA. They also lost to Japan in the World Cup so I'm sure they want this Gold Medal in a rematch pretty bad and reclaim the title. Maybe the overreaction was a bit over the top. I'd be more shocked to see the USA men's basketball team jump up and down when they demolish everyone.
