Just to warn you that Saturday and Sunday I will be writing from the horrible blogger app, because I am going to Dallas to watch FC Dallas play the LA Galaxy.
The olympics have started for soccer! Yesterday the Women played some games and today the men play some. The olympics are a little different for men's soccer compared to other big competions. The difference is that the under 23 team is playing, instead of the regular really good players. Each country does get to have 3 older guys on the team though.
In the women's competion yesterday, one of the big favorites kicked off their tournament. It was the United States vs. France. France got off to a great and surprising start by netting the ball in the 12th minute and then another one in the 14th minute. This was the most goals the United States had given up in a game since the Japan world cup loss, and it was all in the first 15 minutes. Then the U.S. started kicking it up when Abby Wambach headed a goal, in the 19th minute. The team still had a long way to go if they wanted a win,but then in the 32nd minute Alex Morgan scored making the game 2-2 and it stayed that way going into the second half. Eleven minutes into the second half Carli Lloyd struck in a screamer and made it 3-2! The U.S. was not done yet though, when in the 66th minute, Morgan hit the back of the net again! That is how it ended, United States beating France 4-2. One of the other notable women's team, Brazil played. They handled their business smoothly winning 5-0.
Today the men play and Spain kicks of their olympics. Some say their under 23 team is almost as good as their older guys team. We will see how they do against Japan today.
That is it for today thanks for reading!
