Now they need to go back on the soccer pitch later and drink beer and smoke cigars!

The blue balls are being good to our lady wrestlers - Verbeek is into the gold medal match.

Tonya Verbeek won her Women's freestyle 55 kg semis and is at least guaranteed a Sliver.

Meaghan Benfeito placed rather easily second in her semis in the Women's 10 metre platform in Diving this morning, Roseline Filion placed eighth. Both made it to the final tonight which takes place at 19:00 local time.

On Wednesday, Solo seemed to be in a more conciliatory mood. She tweeted her respect for Sinclair, randomly:
Ive said it all along...Sinclair could be the best player in the world. My hat goes off to her and the Canadian team. #fb

The fact that Canada hadn't won a team medal in the Summer Olympics since 1936 and Sinclair has the record for goals scored in the tournament, they'd be idiots to choose anyone else as flag bearer IMO.

Hopefully Hope Solo's ankles are doing alright from all that backtracking.

The Canadian women's soccer team has "Canadian Hockey" stamped on their foreheads . . . . . scrappy as hell.

Can't wait for their naked calendar which would seem to be the next logical step.

Because she looks like a man! thats not a very flattering thing to say about a female soccer player.

hmmm about we call her Roberta Luongo?

U-S-A! U-S-A! hehe

Maybe there is a bit of jealousy there but it's mostly due to the arrogance of the US athletes and broadcasters.

In 2008 in Beijing the medal standings were always by the total number of medals, but because the US was trailing China but had more Gold, NBC had them on top!

Course NBC as of today switches it back now that the US has more medals but China has more gold medals. hahaha

I turned on the Olympics, and for some reason they are showing X-Games BMX racing.

Oh wait....
