Everyone was anticipating this game as the final-before-the final in these 2008 Beijing Football Olympics, and boy did we not get disappointed.

Thank You Argentina! —
Brazil
Argentina,
you don’t even know, but you just did a major favor to Brazil. Hopefully, that obscene attemp of coach named Dunga will be fired. Argentina, yes, it was a pretty bad spank. It does not feel good. But, had we won that match (and I wanted it really bad, don’t get me wrong here), that brainless in command would’ve stayed for 2010. The 3-0 gave us the opportunity to ...

TheOriginalWinger.com
If you watched yesterday’s semifinal on tv, you missed the second goal by Argentina. Why? Because there was a mid-game break for commercials. Shocking this kind of thing still happens. I understand a network needs to make money, but it isn’t the mid-80s anymore . Fans deserve better. Unacceptable.

So apparently this soccer thing is popular. Who knew? Not to throw my boss under the bus, but for two weeks I've heard about how no one really cares about Olympic men's soccer, even the hardcore footie fans, and how the women's tournament and the Mr. Clean Sid Breem Hakeem Kareem Dream Redeem Team were both bigger deals.
