US Open Cup Semifinals:
- New England breezed into the final. Impressive.
- The winner of LA v Dallas will host the championship game.
- Chicago lost in the semifinals for the 4th consecutive year.
- And the Fire looked like a team that must have gotten to the semifinal via multiple rounds of forfeits. I have no idea how that team beat anyone. They were miserable.
- David Accam of Chicago got a late red card for a pushing and shouting incident with Kelyn Rowe after a rough Accam tackle.

USWNT Olympic Tournament
- Overconfident?
- Colombia pulled some great reverse psychology on the USA and it worked. For 2 days their coached talk about how exhausted and injured his team was, and how they couldn't compete with the USA even if they were 100%. The USA bought it, putting out a weakened lineup and losing concentration at key times.
- Hope Solo in particular was sleep walking. She made two horrible mistakes on free kicks that got Colombia their goals.
- Colombia only had 3 shots. And 2 went in, off set pieces. That leaves just 1 shot on target during the run of play, and yet the USA could not win.
- Next up in the knock out stages USA will meet Sweden on Friday.
