"sorry, not baseball. I meant softball (though they're both the same to me)."
Well that explains it ! And you want to be taken seriously I suppose.

Ah yes, "people like you".
"In these sports, you DO get second chances."
Really ? So when does the USA womens gymnastics team get another crack at China and all those underage kids ? And Pukey2 let me tell you about people like me. When the Americans are within 10 of 100 medals, you can feel free to eat your words. Oh and BTW, the US won another medal tonight, the total is now 80 ! And I know of 7 US teams that are already in the medal round and a good half dozen ready to be taken on the track. Honestly now, I don't have anything against you non-Americans, it's just people like you !

Great to see the Americans doing so well at these Olympics. Contrary to what a variety of the American bashers stationed here at Japantoday have to say, the Americans are once again going to threaten the 100 medal barrier, this inspite of early predictions that 70-80 would be adequate. But just looking at all the American teams still in thehunt for "team" medals, well 90 is almost a sure bet. On the downside, it's too bad that organizers have once again put together a tournement where one team must beat another consecutively to win the gold. There is no reason why the USA team should have to play Japan again, they have already beaten them ! I don't see sprinters, pole vaulters, or gymnasts getting second chances to defeat the competition, so why should Japan get another shot at the USA ?

US rallies (?) Are you serious ? Try, "Japan scores on early US mistake, unable to compete from then on". Gomen ne, Japan is no where near the calibre team that the USA is. The Japanese girls, yes I said girls, are much too worried about their hair and nails. The US women are serious ball players. And to think, some of you here at Japantoday actually questioned whether or not Americans play soccer. You bet they do, and they're damn good at it ! Go USA ! Brazil is the obvious favorite but theirs nothing better than an underdog victory. U-S-A, U-S-A !

Why Oh why has there been all this media focus on Japan's mens and womens volleyball teams ? They stink ! And they're not even good looking. Anybody else see the beauties on team Poland ? Sorry to moan but there was way too much tv time devoted to these two ducks ! And to think, we could have been watching a very entertaining basketball tournement, like the rest of the world !

Excellent result for team America who gets to "avoid" the Brazilians for right now. The USA Canada match-up should be another dogfight. Norway though, screwed up big time. The game against Japan was hardly a "must win" but to go in the tank and give up 5 goals to a disorganized squad like Japan, well inforgiveable. This has to be one of the major screw-ups of this Olympics.
