Can't win em all. Well. Except for women's basketball. I suppose eventually they will lose in that also.

I wonder what state of intoxicated belligerence she will be in when the US consulate needs to send a car to a Rio police station to bail her out.

Can't wait for Hope Solo to go away. She's terrible for the game.

Jerramy Stevens appearance?

Probably just leave her there

[Natsinpwc]

They lost because they didn't play Ali Krieger.

Even if they don't have anyone as good as her they should just move on. She's an embarrassment to the team and the sport.

Stayin' classy.   

(As much as it pains me, I'm gonna stay away from an editorial comment about Hope Solo.   )

Brazil and Argentina basketball has been a barn burner.

The diving pool looks weird

The diving pool looks weird

Where you been?  Has been all over the news the last few days.

Yea, I know, but it still looks weird.

Brazil and Argentina basketball has been a barn burner.

Argentina prevails in double OT. Garino who played at GW has a nice game. Good game from Nene also.

[Natsinpwc]

Yea, I know, but it still looks weird.

If it looks weird imagine how bad it is for them.

Smells like farts

Is the Muslim woman fencin' tonight?

Pretty sure she was eliminated in the opening match.

I was hopin' she'd do well.    I'm a homer.

She was poop. I caught the medal round for the team competition and in one match she was -9 so the only reason they advanced was because the other girls made up for her deficiencies.

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Smells like farts

well, that's non-specific. Does it smell like post-Mexican food or post-Mediterranean? Big difference.  Chimichurri rub?

[spidernat]

Anyone see the trampoline? Good thing they have those cushions on the side otherwise the Belarusian girl would've been in serious trouble.
