My favorite picture from the Olympics

I meant to put this picture up while it was still relevant.  The U.S. women's soccer team have won the gold medal at this olympics.  This picture is of the team celebrating one of the goals they scored, I think it was against Canada.  The team was accussed of planning their goal celebrations before the games started by the Canadian coach.  The U.S. head coach said that was fine because their winning and they are having fun, nothing wrong with that.  I agree, nothing wrong with that.  They were not mocking the other team so I don't really see anything wrong with that.  A while back I saw a replay of a game between the Dallas Cowboys and some other team, the game was being played at Dallas.  One of the players on the oppossing team, I want to say it was Terrell Owens, he scored a touchdown and then he ran to the center of the field where there was a big star which is the logo of the cowboys.  When he got to the logo he started some sort of dance, he was celebrating his touchdown.  And then a fight between the teams broke out.  I feel that there was a huge difference between these two incidences.  The Olympics soccer game that I mentioned had taken place on neutral territory and the celebrations did not last very long and it didn't cause a fight.  The Terrell Owens incident caused a fight.  Anyways, here is the picture of the U.S. women's soccer team celebrating after a goal.

Some Highlights from the Olympics.


This is American swimmer Ryan Lochte.   He beat Micheal Phelps the other night!
Ryan Lochte wanted to wear a custom-made red, white and blue grill on the podium after winning the 400 swimming event but the Olympics officials said no.  So this picture was taken after the  gold medal ceremony.  Ryan Lochte has a history of having his picture taken with a medal and his grill.  He has multiple grills and very nice teeth.

U.S. striker Abby Wambach was sucker-punched during the first half of the U.S. women's 3-0 win on Saturday by Lady Andrade of Columbia.  The ref did not see the punch so no foul was called but it was caught on tape so the Olympic officials (or maybe the FIFA officials) could take a look at the tape and issue discipline at a later date. The match did get kind of chippy but the U.S. showed class by not retaliating, they just scored more goals.  Abby Wambach scored one goal during this game.
The US women have already qualified for the second round by wining their first two games of the Olympics.  On Wednesday they defeated France 4-2.
U.S. plays against North Korea on Tuesday.

Learning Spanish is Awesome

Tomorrow is the fourth of July!

Tomorrow is the 4th of July and tomorrow my brother and I are going to the Tigers game tomorrow night.  I am not really looking forward to this because the stress of driving, getting there on time, and then driving back all falls on me since my brother does not drive.  The fourth of July is when the U.S. declared its independence from England.  When I finally get the opportunity to blog I just don't feel all that motivated to do so.  So I'm going to finish this off and post a video off of you tube.
