Unlike their soccer counterparts, the women's hoops team won with nobody watching and little fanfare because women's basketball sucks.

The water polo semi's were awesome. USA to the gold metal game.

USA took control in OT fun to watch.

Video already taken down. IOC is being ridiculous with their copyright notices.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but the Alex Morgan talk is out of hand. She's dating a guy on the Seattle Sounders and has been for a few years. He's lucky.

The fact she has a real life boyfriend does nothing to my fantasies.

Douglas got 7th & 8th (out of 8) in the two individual events so far. Someone was having too much fun in the Village after winning two golds

Pearson was phenomenal last night.

 

 

In her race.

 

 

Irish boxers giving a good account of themselves so far.

My new hero is the Russian high-jumper from yesterday; the big crazy b@st@rd!

 

Lost his top an' all half way through, had to chuck on some aul' t-shirt to do one of his jumps before they could get a replacement.

 

He was seriously rock 'n' roll. :headbang :headbang

The 4th quarter of that Spain/France game was awful. France scored 6 points in the quarter! Neither team deserves a medal after that s*** show.

Disappointed for the team, but happy one of the biggest dbags I ever played against lost.

How about the nut shot by Nic Batum? OUCH!!

Uceny got through to the finals of the women's 1500m. Yay Plymouth!

Another medal secured for the Irish boxers last night. Katie Taylor's fighting in the final today to see if she can convert silver into gold. :pray
