Having trouble watching the games? Wired has got your back
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 [...]
USWNT vs Japan Preview
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 [...]

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 [...]
Ginormous Olympic TV Schedule Post
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 [...]
Grab Your Partner, Dosey Doe
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 [...]
0 for 2
For the second straight game of the ING Cup, the USA failed to win.
