Watching on Telemundo. Now craving Mexican food for dinner.

I think the last few years of USSF management has made many of us meh to the current atmosphere of things. I’m watching but you know, meh.

Looking forward to the entire Olympics itself, however. Although there’s already been attacks on Australian fans and athletes it appears so all aspects of Paris will be on display it looks like.

Par for the course but it is France. They arguably have the most young talent in the world right now.

Would highly suggest people watch the Rugby Sevens, which has also started. Very fun stuff.

Gah, that Argentina/Morocco soccer game was a COLOSSAL MESS, wow.

Some of us are just meh cause it is, you know, soccer. As someone once said, it is like watching recess.

I of course enjoy the swimming events, and track and field is always entertaining.

It seems that US Mens soccer has really fallen off over the last decade. It's really too bad. How is the women's team this year?

USA sevens rugby is playing now versus Fiji. First try was scored by a Texan.

They or France this year along with Argentina but the olympic soccer games always produce a surprise or two. Morocco is a sleeper favorite I think this time.

They are not favored I believe but I haven’t kept up with it. They haven’t done as well as to how they used to do now that the rest of the world is starting to fund their own women’s teams.

Yeah, and this is probably Perry Baker’s last Olympics. Incredible talent. Unfortunately, Fiji blew us out.

Handball has also started but not sure if the men have started, may just be women.

This is a sport the USA should dominate or at the very least be competitive in and just aren’t. Crazy fun to watch, though.
