I love Hope Solo! She brought her own medal to the games.

Yo Greg, can you hear me now, bitch?

When the subject of MLS comes up one of the first things they ask me about is if I've heard of the Riot Squad and they mention that one of them has a LARS shirt, and describes the gask mask guy logo.

Halfway around the world and I can't get away from you guys?!?!"

I watched the women's water polo final between the US and Holland.

The US was down 4-0 in the 1st quarter. They rallied back to 5-5 halftime score.

More back and forth goals. Holland would lead by 2 at some points but the US would get back.

The last 45 seconds of the 4th. It's 8-8 and Holland has position and they get the power play. They score with 26 seconds left. There's still hope for America.

The US gets position at Holland's end of the pool. Clock's ticking down and Holland is defending tenaciously. With about 5 seconds left, a shot is taken from the outside. It rebounds of the post or goalie (I forget) and somehow drops to the US center/hole player, who turns and shoots only to be denied by the crossbar but gets the rebound and shoots again with her defender swarming her but the goalie blocks it. By then the clock expires and Holland wins the goal.

Post-game interview with a couple of the Americans and I can feel their disappointment. But what a game that was, to rally from 4-0 down and take it to the wire.

And I love the complaints coming from the softball federation about the sport getting booted after 2008. They've outscored opponents 53-1 in these Games. In 2004, it was 51-1 on the way to the gold. I dunno what the count was in 2000 and 1996 but I'm sure it was similar. Go USA! But softball does not belong.


So much for that dominance.

What did she do besides calling on her phone? I didn't get to watch everything pertaining to this match.

Last year, I agree. What did she do this year?

Did you guys see this where Angel Matos was banned for life from the Olympic games for attacking a ref during the taekwondo bronze medal competition.

The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which "unskilled people reach erroneous conclusions and make unfortunate choices but their incompetence robs them of the metacognitive ability to realize it." The unskilled therefore suffer from illusory superiority, rating their own ability as above average.
