  If they tape delay a 1 hour difference they can go fuck themselves.

  
  They will. As I mentioned in this thread or the other one before this is the network that tape delayed shit happening in Vancouver for our west coast residents in the exact same time zone (and in the case of Seattle, a 2 hour drive away) in 2010, in order to slip shit into higher ratings slots

  Greatest celebration for a Gold medal winner ever! Greco wrestler from Iran launches his coach in a chest to chest 5-point body lock, straight to his back.
  
  Classic. As soon as it's on youtube, I'll link.

  LOL saw that. I remember Karam Gaber (Egypt) doing that to his coach when he won his gold medal match in 2004 (it's on youtube). He is actually back in the finals and will be wrestling after the next Bronze medal match. Hope to see him win and toss his coach as well.
  
  Edit: Gaber is up now.

  Friggin' can't keep up. Flipping through three NBC channel on tv, plus watching track and field and wrestling streams at once.
  
  Sensory overkill.
  
  
  Oo....USA down to the Hosers 1-0 in soccer.

  I am being a horrible employee and streaming wrestling on my phone (as I did with NCAAs). It's a horrible feed though. Gaber just lost.

  I hate bueller. She's such a terrible defender.
• OSH

  

  Finally get to watch some Olympic soccer...got the game tuned in.
  
  We shouldn't lose to Canada.

  Rapinoe just got a goal from the corner kick, may have been an own goal. But it was the equalizer.
  
  1-1 USA has the momentum and looking a lot better in the second half.
  
  Boo Canada!
• said_aouita

  

  score!
  
  
  usa gets a bull sh*t hand-ball call. wambach scores penalty kick inside the box.
  
  3-3
  
  (Pretty good game, other than the gift from the refs.)
  
  
  open goal missed by wambach. (D'oh!)
  
  
  She's cute. Wonder if she works at a strip club in the off-season, eh?
  
  
  
  
  
  into extra time for soccer game.

  Jesus Christ Rapinoe is having the game of her life!
  
  2-2 Equalizer AGAIN!
• Midstate01

  

  A 2nd huge mistake by bueller. Lunging 30 yards from goal allowing the Canadian to tun and make an easy pass
  
  
  But rapinoe just BLASTED one!!! All even again!
• Fly4Fun

  

  Jesus Christ, that 1 chick from Canada is just tearing us up. 3-2 Canada.
• Midstate01

  

  Holy shit. Sin Clair again....
• Fly4Fun

  

  Just subbed in Leroux to go to a 3-4-3
• Fly4Fun

  

  Wambach with the PK to tie it up 3-3!!!!
  
  There was an indirect kick because the goalie was holding the ball too long, then a Canadian player had a hand ball on the kick.
• Fred Garvin

  Dang, this is getting good!
• like_that

  

  Wow sounds like im missing a hell of a game. The US women sure keep things interesting.
• Fly4Fun

  

  Alex Morgan just had a great cross to Wambach that was just a foot wide of another goal as the goalie was already down.
• gorocks99

• gorocks99

  Just to clarify, all penalty kicks are "inside the box."
  
  Free kicks can come inside or outside the box -- an indirect free kick can be either, fouls that lead to direct free kicks inside the box are penalty kicks.
  
  
  And Alex Morgan with the winner as I write this!
