The talk of the town is the Women’s Football Team. Now many of you know I consider Soccer confusing, low scoring, and slooooooooooooooooooooooooooo…ooooooooooooooooooooow.
Yesterday’s match, which I had the good fortune to catch from about 60 minutes in, was anything but.
4 Goals in 10 minutes! Last minute score sends it to overtime tied with a 30 second remaining victory!
Almost as exciting as Baseball.
It’s been mighty confusing to see everything I really wanted to (NBC reschedules with no notice, I do the best I can) yet I must say that catching glimpses of the unique events like Fencing and Whitewater Kayaking makes me wish that there was a channel like the old ESPN which would show odd stuff like Lacross and Field Hockey.
Now things like Motor Sports and Shooting have several channels and I’d think narrowcasting the non major sports would find a market.
But then I like Rugby and Darts.

All this is sourced through the NBC Olympics broadcast schedule. Competition starts again at 6 am tomorrow.
Competitions designated by (Medal) will award winners that day. ‘all’ means not specified. Sometimes NBC especially does mashups and doesn’t include event or competitor information. Elimination means no round robin, one and done.
These schedules are a place for you to make sure you don’t miss a sport you like and share your observations. Have fun today!
