Yes, there is room for plenty of Olympics, and pics. I enjoy them all.
This is our hometown boy, Phelps. His mom is a teacher in my school district, I'll see her in a week if she nots over there this year. I would be, if it was my kid!

The American side will close out group play against New Zealand at 7:45 p.m. on Tuesday, August 12 not sure what time that is on the East coast but it most likely 7:45am EST and Dark O' clock on the west coast. After the third game the top 2 teams in each group ( there are 5 groups) advance on to the quarter finals.
The US Womens's Soccer Team won their game this morning at 2am PST. They beat Japan 1-0 and my Niece saw her first CAP in an Olympic game. She has now be baptized and has seen play. I haven't talked to her yet today, but I can tell you she is probably on cloud 9. She is a defender and unless Mitts, Markraf, Rapone, or Cox go down or get tired she won't get it. Well Cox got tired this morning and she went in at Left back, not her normal position but she can play any position if they let her.

Mens Soccer game today ended in a 2-2 draw with the Netherlands. I hate draws should play till there is a winner but in the qualifying rounds this is what they do, no OT till the quarterfinals. :-5

We've got alot of different NBC stations here. The futbol games are on the spanish language channel.
GOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLL!!!!!! :wah:
I also watched Argentina lose to Lithuania in basketball (in Spanish). I have to cheer for Argentina because two of their players are on the San Antonio Spurs team.
There's even a channel in Chinese. Guess what they concentrate on?
Bez, you watched women's gymnastics already? We must not have a good chance for a medal or they'd have shown it.

I really enjoy gymnastics.
