Watched the women's games on nbcolympics.com before I fell asleep. Games started early morning on west coast.

Still, the web site should be a nice addition if u are a big olympics fan being able to keep tabs on four different events sites at one time.

And as already mentioned I think in another forum post, the soccer matches last night were without commentary, just crowd noise. Pretty enjoyable.

The interactive web site video stuff is well-engineered.

Robinho is not on this Brazil team as he is over the age of 23 (he is 24) thus Real Madrid did not have to release him. (Technically a ruling now can make any team not release it's players but that is another thread for another day and most likely another forum) They blocked him from going so he isn't there.

Below is the original squad named on July 8th

Goalkeepers: Diego Alves (Almeria), Renan (Internacional).

Defenders: Ilsinho (Shakhtar Donetsk), Rafinha (Shalke), Marcelo (Real Madrid), Alex Silva (Sao Paulo), Breno (Bayern Munich), Thiago Silva (Fluminense).

Midfielders: Anderson (Manchester United), Diego (Werder Bremen), Hernanes (Sao Paulo), Lucas (Liverpool), Ronaldinho (FC Barcelona), Thiago Neves (Fluminense).

Forwards: Alexandre Pato (AC Milan), Jo (Manchester City), Rafael Sobis (Real Betis), Robinho*** (Real Madrid).

Robinho replaced by Ramires (Cruzeiro)

Rooting for lots of draws and no scoring tonight. I'm kind of a pessimist.

Did not do well on women last night. Chalk in the Olympics soccer is death I think.

Will be rooting for USA despite them winning would lose a bet for me.

Yes, it's generally a gentleman's rule between the IOC and FIFA that FIFA will allow players under 23 to play in the Olympics. National teams can include up to three players over 23 years of age but their clubs can block since a move due to the start of the European season so most countries don't bother trying to get players from major clubs to play in the Olympics.

I'm taking the chalk today. Argentina and China. Argentina line seems too low, that's a potent lineup.

GL guys!

US wins, but god are they are a terrible team. Wynne absolutely played head and shoulders above everyone else. Can't imagine them beating anyone else in this thing and can only hope they advance to the knockouts with draws so I can back the truck up against them.

Why in the world isn't Kenny Cooper on the team? I know he's 24 but come on. Adu is a midget joke.

Draws galore today and low scoring matches to boot. The planet's were aligned and I had a beautiful day at least Olympic-wise. Would have been epic had Japan tied 1-1, but as it is I will take a +5 unit day anytime.:103631605
