Still disappointed and disgusted that the United States U-23 men's team didn't qualify, but at least I get to root for Alex Morgan and the USWNT as they go for that Gold Medal.

I have Spain winning it all, they are amazingly good from from U-19 all the way up. I mean their U-19 would honestly beat Americas U-23, Spain is loaded with talent and they are scary good for at least 20+ years of amazing. They are so well organized that it won't be a probably to dominate for 20+ years.

Well, they really have it set for them early on considering the draw they got. Assuming they take care of business in the group stage and quarterfinals, the earliest they would potentially face Uruguay or Brazil would be in the semifinals.

 

I'll probably be rooting for Uruguay in the men's tournament, as I've come to really like a lot of their players.

 

The USWNT has their first game tomorrow against France. While we did beat them in the semifinals of the World Cup, it was a close game until late, so a tie wouldn't surprise me.

I agree. Spain's U-19 team is better than a lot of men's national teams in the world. Winning Euro 2012, U-19 2012 and Olympics would be epic for Spain.

Didn't get to watch any of the match, but I'm quite impressed with the character of the team. Coming back from a 2-0 deficit in the first half isn't something you see often.

Olympic soccer is retarded. Only 4 European teams and one of them manages to be Belarus, and then theres crappy teams like Honduras, United Arab Emirates, shouldn't even be considered a real competition.

Honduras is not a 'crappy' team. And how come the mighty Serbian didn't qualify for the Olympics... oh, I forgot - they only care for the Euro... they care so much for it that they didn't even qualify for it.... :lol:

But, if you replace 'you' with 'YugoRocketsFan' and you'll get the answer. ;) Yugo loves BBC so much it even matches his sig color:

A vicious and intentional punch today by Colombian player Lady Andrade on Abby Wambach:

Her comments afterwards were laughable. She even went on to call the play an accident.

^ Unhappy b*tch!

Cobb, keep an eye on Argentina, Spain, Italy, Paraguay and Chile -- they love adding intentional punches to soccer. ;)

They lost to Honduras because its the Olympics, if the real Spain team faced Honduras the score would be 8-0.
