Because of a driving practice I had this morning, I couldn't watch the U.S. Men's team defeat Japan 1-0 in their opening game, which is considerably better than how the U.S. Women opened up their tournament.

Houston Dynamo representative Stuart Holden scored the lone goal in the game, trickling it past Japanese goalkeeper Shusaku Nishikawa.

It was the first goal for the United States in three games, in which they played Honduras, Cameroon, and Cote d'Ivoire. The next games for the American's will be against Holland and Nigeria.

(By the way, Holland is my pick to win this tournament.)

Some other results from today's action, Brazil beat Belgium 1-0 in Group C play, Argentina took down Cote d'Ivoire, 2-1, and Holland played to a draw against Nigeria.

I really don't see them winning the gold in soccer, the women's team maybe, but not the mens.

Too many tough teams like Argentina, Brazil, and the Netherlands.

I don't see the U.S. beating the Dutch. I think the Netherlands beats the U.S. 2-1.

Well you're wrong Nick ahahah. The US was SOOOOO close to winning but with about 30 seconds left, Holden gave up that foul and allowed the Netherlands to dump in a goal and leave the game 2-2. Now, Freddy Adu and Michael Bradley are out for the next game against Nigeria which they must win to advance.

Well, at least I tried.

And I got to see some of the highlights of that game, looks like it was a good one.

It was definitely awesome. Probably the only soccer game I have ever watched and then really got into. My brother and I were screaming at missed calls, goals and pretty much every play in general.
