Having trouble watching the games? Wired has got your back

August 10th, 2008 | By: Melissa | No Comments »

I recently discovered the Wired How-To Wiki which, as the title suggests, is a site where anyone can create an account and post a howto on almost any subject. And I really do mean almost any subject. After poking around for a bit, I discovered a really great howto for watching the Olympics [...]

Why did you do that?!

What a letdown.
The U.S. men’s team dominated the second half against the Netherlands, coming back from a 1-0 halftime deficit with two goals in a matter of eight minutes (Kljestan and Altidore) only to take two silly yellow cards and commit a stupid foul just outside the box so the Netherlands could save face [...]

We Won! We Won!

The USWNT beat Japan 1-0 with a Carli Lloyd goal in the 28th minute. And the team that showed up to play this game was not the same team that faced Norway a few days ago. According to US Soccer’s Match Report: “The U.S. set a frenetic pace to open the contest, looking [...]

This one is on at… 2am! Too bad the NBCOlympics website locks everyone out of their videos unless we are running *ahem* certain operating systems and browsers. Apparently NBC did this is for licensing purposes? Just a fyi, NBC legal team, you can get a lot of information off an IP address [...]

Circumstances rarely conspire in favor of the U.S. men’s soccer team, but that’s what happened yesterday when they notched a 1-0 victory over Japan while the Netherlands and Nigeria had their match result in a nil-nil draw.
While it’s nice to be in the Group B driver’s seat, it’s hard to get overly excited about [...]

After going without a goal in either of their two ING Cup matches, the U.S. Men’s team started their Olympic campaign off with a 1-0 win over Japan. The man getting molested in the above picture (Stuart Holden) scored the only goal.
It wasn’t a pretty game, but a win is a win and I’m [...]

It Was Really More Of A Whimper

It’s ok. I’m used to losing. I’ve been following the San Jose Earthquakes this season. This morning, in the first six minutes of play, Norway scored twice on the USA. And for the rest of the game, the US couldn’t get it together to fight back. I didn’t watch it [...]

If you are a fan of the USA team and the women’s game, then it’s definitely time for you to click on over to the WPS FanZone, sign up for an account, and friend me (so far, I only have one friend and I am lonely). This site is rolling out some pretty cool [...]

With the two warm-up games in the books, one thing sticks out more painfully than the rest. The statistic that reads “Goals – USA: 0″.
While some of the weight of that tarydactal sized goose egg can be placed on the lack of quality in the midfield, the forwards are, in fact, the players contracted [...]
