The U.S. Men are winless when playing Mexico at Stadium Azteca (0-8-1) and Mexico is fresh off a
Gold Medal win at the 2012 London Olympics. No need to create drama in this latest so called
"friendly" between two sides that rarely if ever play a match under that matches that definition.
The Americans will also be missing some regular roster members due to the schedule of the game in
Mexico conflicting with the start of many international leagues.
Since NBC and the International Olympic Committee has put such a stranglehold on the highlights
and footage of the 2012 London Olympics getting quality complication videos is quite a chore.
We're not sure how long this video will stick around, but it's got all the goods of a solid gold
medal wrap up vid: dramatic music, slow-motions, pained-then-triumphant looks, and more.
The 2012 London Olympics have been referred to by many media outlets as the Twitter Games or the
Twitter Olympics. With the bad press some Olympic athletes (i.e. Hope Solo) have garnered for their
not-so-smart use of Twitter we wanted to show the positive side of athletes using Twitter to share
their excitement with their fans.
The winds of change continue to surround the Portland Timbers as the team announced two separate
player moves on August 9. The team acquired New Zealand international player Ian Hogg, who most
recently played in the 2012 London Olympics with Timbers goalkeeper Jake Gleeson. Meanwhile,
defender Mike Chabala was traded to D.
As iconic an image: Could the USA top this in the finals?
Yes, all you football/ soccer lovers. This is one of the most anticipated clashes, the USA vs
Japan showdown, all year. Destiny had both countries renewing their rivalry in the Olympics women's
soccer final. The USA for redemption.
In two seasons with the Washington Freedom (2002-2003/WUSA & 2009-2010/WPS) Abby Wambach not only
played along side the most famous U.S. Soccer player ever - Mia Hamm, she also won a league
championship and was named MVP. Wambach scored 44 goals and added 30 assists while playing for the
Freedom franchise and was by far a fan favorite at the Maryland SoccerPlex.
A stoppage time goal from Alex Morgan after the second period of extra time puts the US into the
gold medal match after an epic battle with Canada that was not without controversy.
In what many are calling the most exciting 'team game' of the 2012 London Olympics, the US
Women's Soccer Team came from behind three times and eventually defeated our neighbor the to north,
Canada, in an exhilarating 4-3 win with the winning goal scored by Alex Morgan in the 123rd minute
of play.
The US Women face Canada in the Semi Finals of the 2012 London Olympics today at 11:45 AM Pacifc
on NBC Sports Network (Comcast 626, 603 on DirectTV). The United States has come under scrutiny for
the Canadian's claim that their set piece defense is illegal, which is just a precursor to the
excuses issued for yet another Canadian loss to the US.
The USWNT enters the single elimination round of the 2012 London Olympics at 6:30AM on NBC
Sports Network against the New Zealand Ferns. The United States remained undefeated through group
play, to earn their way into the quarterfinals. The Ferns are coming in as the third place
finishers of group E.
Comfortably atop their group with three wins, the American women are preparing to face New Zealand
in the quarterfinals. PSP reviews the USWNT efforts so far and previews the quarterfinals match
ups.
The SPANISH FOOTBALL OLYMPIC TEAM goes home & last placed in their Group after drawing 0 - 0 in the
last 2012 London Olympics match against MOROCCO. This is a real down to earth situation which put
the Spanish youngsters perhaps into their place. The most significant aspect however is that Spain
has not scored one single goal in all their Group games & this is for deep analysis.

It isn't often than I get the opportunity to pump myself up whenever a British team plays a team
from Brazil, but today at the London 2012 Olympics, the Great Britain women's team beat the
Brazilian women 1-0 at Wembley and put themselves in prime position for a medal in the quarter
finals.

The United States women's national team played their first match after winning gold in the 2012
London Olympics, and kicked off theif "Fan Tribute Tour" with a bang , defeating Costa Rica
8-0.
U.S. WNT KICKS OFF FAN TRIBUTE TOUR AGAINST COSTA RICA: The U.S. Women's National

2:30 p.m. ET at Sahlen's Stadium in Rochester, N.Y., the hometown of star striker Abby Wambach. The
match will be broadcast live on NBC.
True grit, and a little luck, propelled the United States women's national team to gold medal
glory at the 2012 London Olympics. Carli Lloyd was the unlikely hero of the match, scoring both
goals to lead the Lady Nats to a tight 2-1 win. Several fantastic Hope Solo saves, a few shots
aided by the cross bar and some last-ditch defending from her back line helped perserve the lead
throughout the match.
I haven't written much over the past 2-3 weeks or so as being an English ex-pat living in the
USA, my emotions have been completely caught up in that wonderful spectacle back home called the
London Olympics. Day after day of supreme effort from British athletes has energized a nation and
apparently cauterized the acid memories of ignominious performances from the England football team
in successive international tournaments.

The title should actually read what fails Brazilian soccer? Clearly, with all its unsurpassed
talent, Brazilian soccer should have no ailment. Jonathan Wilson's article in the Guardian exposes
Brazil's fatal flaws when competing against teams which individual talent may find tough to
overcome.
Canada completely outplayed by France in the second half managed to score an extra time goal by
Diane Matheson following a scramble for the ball in front of the box. Before that heartbreak,
France had peppered the Canadian goal with a plethora of shots, one that unluckily hit the upright,
with the rest sailing over the crossbar.
Yuki Otsu's magnificent strike in the 12th minute gave the Japanese men hope that they too could
emulate their women's team entering the Olympic finals but El Tri happened to be much stronger.
Marco Fabian, Oribe Peralta, and Javier Cortes scored to turn things around as Mexico marched to
their first Olympic finals.
Sepp Blatter was around to see his fondest dream of seeing women playing in "tighter shorts".
Yes, he really did say that as a way of attracting more male spectators amongst many of his other
pearls of wisdom.
The match underscored the importance of having a good goalie and in Miho Fukumoto, the Nadeshiko
had theirs.
Arsene Wenger we've heard is looking for new talent. Bolt may only be slightly faster (tongue
firmly in cheek) than Theo Walcott but his celebrations are way better.
An instant classic. Christine Sinclair was a one woman wrecking crew for Canada as she scored a
hat trick with the USA having to play catch up with each of her goals. They had a reply each time
and then went one better with Alex Morgan's 123rd minute header for the winner as seconds remained
in the match.
