The American girls can have the gold at the soccer final, hopefully the Dutch ladies will win the gold medal in the waterpolo final.
Difficult, we have to beat the US (current world champions.)

I know this is a bit late, but Nastia should've won gold against the 12 year old.

Yeah that goes without saying. Still, nothing really big happened at this Olympics like it did 4 years ago when that male Russian gymnast got screwed and the crowd wouldn't stop booing the judges for giving him low scores. The crowd only stopped after that guy pleaded with them to calm down to let Paul Hamm compete.

We did it! 9-8 for The Netherlands. :thumbsup:
I am just happy for an hour and then I will return to reality.

Anyone watching the BBC coverage find the female football commentator extreamly annoying? Or is it just me.

US WOMEN SOCCER TEAM 2008 GOLD MEDAL WINNERS!!!!!!!!!!!!artysml:

My hat's off to Brazil. What a great game!!!

No team on Earth can defeat US Women Soccer Team!

Everybody loves Usain Bolt and Michael Phelps but i love Mathias Steiner more than those two. He's the man with a "strong" heart! God bless him and his wife's soul.

Hahaha...US women lose the softball gold/final to Japan. I say what a fitting end to a lopsided competition.

And on the other hand congrats to the US women for leading the world in a sport that is truly global: soccer. Good job on winning the gold and what a great game

Now if onyl the US men could do something like this in our life.

How do you check for actual age? it is soooooooooo simple.

Saw off a leg and count the growth rings?

Trust me it's not just you.

I don't mean to be sexist or anything, but it just doesn't sound...right when a woman does football commentary.

US Women's Soccer....GOLD MEDAL CHAMPS!!! What an incredible game. It lived up to all the hype. Both teams left everything on the pitch. Pure guts and heart from both squads. The US Defense just dug in and gutted it out. Brazil had total control of the midfield.

Hope Solo is a Goddess. Do not gaze into the eyes of this goddess...she will melt you and then turn you to stone! She stoned Marta from pointblank!

I hope other nations LIKE ENGLAND, FRANCE, ARGENTINA, SPAIN, PORTUGAL wake up off their LAZY ASSES and support Women's Soccer! What a beautiful game to watch. Check out the buildup to Carli Lloyd's gamewinner...very slick backheel/give and go combo...she should've had a second goal in OT but clanged it off the post!

Overall...a fully satisfying game to watch. I truly hope the Women's Pro League is successful next year. Who wouldn't want to watch these players play again?? I will be sending in season ticket money to the closest franchise to me...Seattle? Portland?

On a separate note...since when has U.S. Track and Field ever performed so miserably in an Olympics? Our athletes are getting clowned and embarrassed....shocking, really...

I've been a fan of US Women Soccer Team and trying to watch every event since 1999.

US Soccer's system for player discovery and development is flawless. They are simply the best, that's why they won this Olympic Tournament. Only Germany and China can make it a little bit hard for US Soccer.

US Men Soccer is gonna blow too. Ladies and Gentlemen, USA will win a World Cup in the next decade. Take David Beckham, he moved to LA to play soccer at a relatively young age compare to Pele, Beckenbauer and Cruiff in 1970s. He saw the potential in that nation. MLS will be as popular as Bundesliga in 2010s and earlt 2020s. To be honest, MLS is far better than French Le Championnat now.

Mark my words, please. US Soccer will be one of the biggest schools that have the character in 20 years (at most).

Next year WSL (Women's Soccer League) is coming and that's all I know about it. I just hope to see Hope Solo more, she's too hot not to be on tv!

It will take BILLIONS of dollars of investment for MLS to ever be on par with Bundesliga or EPL or Serie-A, etc. There isn't enough general interest in Soccer in the U.S. at the moment.

David Beckham came to LA because he is more christ-figure than soccer star at this point..plus, nobody else would pay him $250mil US....

The U.S. has the athletes to win a World Cup in 2014. The team has enough athletes now who could put a Final 8 performance in 2010.
