Women's soccer

USA going for the gold. I think I've figured out why soccer is so popular around the world. Probably the same reason basketball is growing in popularity. They involve a nice big ball and easy to follow action. Anyway, this is fun. I've never seen so many people falling over after being breathed upon. Player 1 looks at player 2 cross-eyed, player 2 takes a dive hoping the ref will call a foul. Player 2 rolls around on the ground holding her shin in apparent pain. Ref does or does not call foul. Player 2 gets up unhurt and continues play. Fun. Americans don't like soccer so much because...well...who can like a game that regularly ends in ties, or 1-0, 2-1, or somesuch low score?

Edit: US Wins 2-1 in overtime.
