GOALLLLLL!!!!!!! GOAAAAALLLLL!!!!
Japan - I LOVE YOU SO FUCKING MUCH RIGHT NOW!!!
England - I am disappointed. You don't deserve more from me right now.
USA - OH MY GOD ABBY!!!! About fucking time! USA! USA! USA! USA!
Brazil - So sorry but, USA! USA! USA! Oh, and you might want to fire Daiane.
In defense of the lateness of my responses, I have been partying for two straight days celebrating my 30th.
A couple years ago, all I wanted for my birthday was Dan Henderson to hand Michael Bisping his ass. And I watched as he not only won, but just... it was beautiful. This year what I wanted was Japan and USA to move on and THEY DID!!! They moved forward in as dramatic fashion as you can possibly imagine.
I have no idea what the team rules regarding sex during tournament are, but you know that yesterday, if they so desired, Megan, Hope, and Abby could have gotten anyone they wanted in their beds after that game. And they would have totally deserved it.
Now, Japan and USA better win their respective games in the semis. I am willing to agonize over who to cheer for in the finals.
This whole tournament has done nothing but solidify my belief that the best thing that could happen to the Olympics in this country is for ESPN to win the bid for the tv airing rights. (I can get past my anger at ABC/Disney for their handling of Legend of the Seeker for better Olympic coverage) Their coverage is better, their commentators are more informed, their online viewing features are more robust and focused. AND, when they interviewed Marta, they didn't overdub her and instead ran subtitles, always a plus in my book. NBC should just give up. They got nothing but justified hate for their bungling of the last couple Olympics. They LOST over $200 million dollars on the Vancouver Olympics. I'm not holding my breath for the London Olympics. I don't know what is wrong with the execs over at NBC but they keep getting beautiful things given to them and they just destroy them or throw them away.
