Argentina ties it up late.

EDIT: Well no they did not and the game finished a couple hours later after a riot. Now that's the Olympic spirit.

Got overwhelmed in the second half. Guinea and New Zealand their best matches. Not sure which is first but things should go better than today.

Iraq/Ukraine and Israel/Mali had their moments as well.

Crowd trouble and a cleared stadium. The Olympic soccer tournament wanting to show that it truly belongs in the panoply of world soccer...

Team USA looked much better the scoreline suggests - how might things have gone if that shot had gone in, to give USA the lead? Second goal was fortunate, off a deflection, but no team could have done much about the other two - France are looking a class act.

Wonder if some Asterisks might’ve taken in some north of the border consulting work.

Team Handball seems like lots of fun. Surprised it never caught on here.

Nor here - but it's huge, across the Channel...

Probably. I thought Bronny was holding the flag?

Yeah. That was a joke. Maybe no more so than picking a multi millionaire and a multi millionaire to carry the flag.

What would have been cool would have been team Norway going down the Seine in a Viking long boat just like in the old days.

Better that they didn't open that can of worms. Team Deutscheland would have caused all kinds of problems in Belgium en route to Paris.

to be honest, I thought maybe the arson on the transportation routes today had something to do with the Vikings

the metal band performance was a highlight. Apparently the song they did dates back to the revolution
