Women's Soccer tournament at the Olympics

have to feel gutted for Marta. It was a deserved red card though.

it's knock out tournament time!!! USA wins in extra time off a gorgeous Rodman goal. They were lucky to get that win

Colombia is leading Spain 1-0 at halftime

whew... Colombia is up 2-0 on World cup champs Spain

Spain come back! 2-2. another extra time match

The Canadians cheated

Comeback complete! Spain moves on after penalty kicks

R6 I don't really blame the players but it's crazy how they managed to turn the coaching cheating into some kind of heroic hurdle for them to overcome, and it's working! people are rooting for them and feel bad for them

Same here r8.

Germany beats Canada on penalty kicks. USA vs Germany in the semis

Semifinals are set... USA vs Germany and Spain vs Brazil

there is a hilarious group of pigeons that have been invaded athe pitch in the men's Spain-Morocco game. It's in the second half and they've been there the entire match. It's a group of about 15 birds, and they keep flocking together near the goalkeepers and only move when a player or ball comes straight out them. Then they fly away in a flurry and settle down again on the opposite end of the pitch. It's been going on for over an hour.

I like watching YouTube videos of the U15 boys beating them. LOL

Spain's men's team advanced to the Gold Medal game

Semifinals day!! USA v Germany at 12pm (est) and Spain v Brazil at 3pm

dissapointing hire empty the stands are at this first match. not used to seeing that in big international tournaments

0-0 after full time. USA and Germany going to extra time

If the Bible has taught us nothing else -- and it hasn't -- it's that girls should stick to girls' sports, such as hot-oil wrestling, foxy boxing, and such-and-such.

the usa is back baby! Gold Metal game up next

Brazil beat up on Spain. Marta had one more chance to win a major tournament. it'll be hard to root against the US but honestly I want it for her.

USA!!!!!!!

build a statue of Emma Hayes!!! the turn around from last year is incredible

I really like Hayes. She told the team to play with joy.

They did.

this was only her 10th game as coach. made some controversial moves but it paid off. she kept Alex Morgan off the team and didn't start Rose Lavell today

the three young players that made up the frontline this tournament have been incredible

I wa wondering if Lavelle was injured. Odd for her to not sub in at all.

R26 there was an injury but today she was listed as available for play.
