Well the big game I'm looking forward to is the women's softball Canada vs. U.S. It starts at midnight est. Go go Canada!

Gonna be on NBC or USA?

Ugh. Yeah, same here. I guess it won't be back on NBC until the medal round and what not. Only reason it was on NBC HD with China was because it was China.

So bot the Canadian mens and womens ball teams have some tough opponents coming up: Canada v. Cuba for baseball and Canada v. USA for softball. Going to be interesting to see how they hold on against these traditional powerhouse teams.

Also, Canada v. USA in women's soccer - yikes. It should be a good match no doubt, especially since there's no love lost between the Canadian and American ladies when it comes to soccer, but I honestly don't hold out much hope for our women's team against the yanks.

Yeah, these are going to be tough games but well worth watching. I'm really proud of the women's soccer team. This is their first ever time at the Olympics and they've already gone so far. A loss to the top-ranked Americans won't take away from an incredible run.

I think Canada can beat Cuba in baseball and can beat the States in softball. Both are very excellent teams.

Oh for those who hate the Chinese. We destroyed them in baseball 10-0 last night

[octopus]

fuck yeah I have USA HD :D (fiostv)

The Chinese walked (ball 4 as hit-by-pitch lol) in two runs on non-consecutive batters, with the bases loaded no less.

But the CBC commentator said that baseball was outlawed by Mao in the late 50s as a game that did nothing but bring in foreign interest to China and there's only something like 6 professional baseball teams in China.

They would have benefited from that financially though. o_o I'll never understand their way of thinking .

Holy shit, ow..

[Furtwangler]

idk how old that baseball game on mnbc is but bleh, sucks we lost to korea.

[Avé]

And while Shawn may not "fuckable" cute, Alicia most definitely is.. >.>;

Nastia Liukin is definitely the best looking one on the team. I wasn't sure about her at first, but after seeing her on the uneven bars and balance beam, I couldn't get enough of her good looks.

[tyven]

check out how alicia sacramone spends her time when shes not falling off balance beams

i love this woman

[Akiyama]

Too bad she can't use her punch throwing skills to help her gymnastic ability.

[Roranora]

Nastia is really good looking too (and taller, which is a plus), but I feel.. better about putting Alicia at #1 cause she's 2 years older. I'm trying to avoid feeling like a pedo for finding an 18/20 year-old gymnast hot. '-' Plus, Alicia has a surprisingly developed rack for a gymnast, but I will admit to checking out both Nastia/Alicia during our team final.

[Akiyama]

If they are 18+, how does that make you a pedo? They're of legal age. Plus... Nastia has a huuuge fucking forehead. D:

[Kang]

Ouch to the weightlifter.

And Alicia should join the Canadian boxing team with a hook like that. We need all the help we can get lol.

[Roranora]

It makes me feel like a pedo because I'm 23 and I feel guilty, lol.. at least more so for Nastia than Alicia.

My first year at college I was 24 going into classes with 18 year olds, you get over it quickly lol.
