The Olympics start today but the soccer matches started 2 days ago.

Just watched the Brazil vs. Belgium game. I'm very annoyed by the referees. Horrible work by them. They sent of two Belgian players for questionable things. Fellaini shouldn't have been sent off for sure. Either way, Kompany and Fellaini were both sent off making their two best player unavailable for the next game.

Does anyone else think Diego gets away with too much diving? He throws his body in front of people and falls. It's so obvious yet referees fall for it every damn time. I hate that cunt! Brazil won that game 1-0 by the way.

I'm about to watch the Holland vs. Nigeria game. Are any of you able to watch these games?

No, and I have no idea when the games are on.

We all know Holland is going to win.

Damn you Adi and your new channel haha.

Holland tied Nigeria 0-0.  Wouldn't get too confident Borg. 

Adi do you have cable or satellite?  I have Comcast digital cable and I don't see this nbc olympics channel.  I've seen it on nbc.com but i can't find it.

I have cable from Grande. It's an HD channel so you'll probably need the HD package to get this channel. The picture quality is incredible.

The Holland game was alright. Probably the worst out of the 4 game I've seen so far. Looking forward to more games tomorrow. There was nothing on today.

ends 2-2.  Vermeer (goalkeeper) did very well to keep the Netherlands in the game.

Brazil looks like they fielded a great squad. I'm happy Anderson scored, I just hope he doesn't get injured or anything.

I'll find some highlights for these later.  :biggrin:
