Thanks you guys, I am glad you enjoy it. I didn't mean to sound high maintenance, just was curious if it was worth the effort.
Update:
1. Forgot to mention the Womens Soccer match between USA and Brazil - what made the match intriguing was the trash talking by USA goalie (keeper) Hope Solo. In a previous USA vs Brazil match, Solo was benched in favor of another goalie but the US lost 4-0. Solo ripped in to the coach and claimed she would have saved those 4 goals. In the aftermath, she was banned for her outbursts and outspokeness but reinstated with the arrival of a new coach. Her behavior was divisive to the team. However, in an exciting overtime match, USA pulled out a 1-0 win over the Brazilians and Solo appears vindicated. It was a tough talk to back up - shutting out the Brazilians is no easy task but Solo came through.
Lots of drama for the ladies of the Olympics, so much drama.
2. Upset city!! USA Softball presumed gold medal was taken away by a tenacious Japanese team that refused to give it up. In a shocker, USA dominance was ended with brilliant pitching and aggressive batting by the Japanese. In what was the last softball game for the Olympics, the Americans were devastated, in tears, and in shock.
More drama for the ladies.
3. Upset city, part 2! Both Mens and Womens 4x400m Relay teams failed to qualify for the semi-finals opening up a sure win for the Jamaicans. What happened? Both teams dropped their batons dropping them out of the races. But at least the ladies scrambled and made a bid to at least finish the race. My guess is the rain played a part but the runners themselves admitted to poor focus and a freak happenstance.
4. Upset city, part 3! - Dutch ladies defeat USA for Water Polo gold! Looks like we Americans are eating a ton of humble pie tonight. Yikes! The #1 ranked USA women were left in tears and bitter disappointment.
Note to self: Never take anything for granted and always play to win.
