Down to the last seconds of the 2nd OT and the U.S. pulled it off. It was quite the "nail-biting match". The Canadian ladies were fantastic and I will cheer for them to win against France for the Bronze but next up, U.S. vs Japan for the Gold medal.

Then again, it seems that the media is the same all over the world. Even when interviewing a Gold Medal winner, they ask stupid questions. As to disappointed! The darn media should be fawning all over them and congratulating them for their achievement. Click to expand... I think the medal winners are too elated to be concerned about the questions being fired at them! But I do agree with you. Worse things have come out of these Olympics though, I don't know if this would have reached the news in the US: http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/...ter-following-malicious-messages-7994397.html Simply disgusting.

I would think, however, that while at the Olympics (or other major event), teams would be concentrating on mental preparation for their events rather than Twitter. Two athletes expelled for sending offensive tweets after all their training! I think the blackout the women's water polo team decided on makes the most sense.

Wow what a show of respect. If only other members of the human race acted in the same manner...
