Thud.
That was how the Olympics started for the United States when the women's soccer team fell behind 2-0 only four minutes into their contest against Norway and eventually lost by the same margin.
Four minutes and losing big! Something tells me the Chinese were thrilled.
Let's hope it wasn't an omen for what the next two weeks has in store for the Red, White and Blue.
That would be Norway celebrating, not the U.S.
Where's Abby Wambach , Mia Hamm and Brandi Chastain when we need them?
I still have Phelps fever and Jess is frenzied over futbol, but now I have to give a big, fat FAIL to U.S. women's soccer goalie Hope Solo.
The Americans kicked off the Olympics by getting shutout, 2-0, by Norway, who looked the part of medal-contenders. Solo gave up both the goals in the first four minutes.
Now Solo, if you recall, was the one pulled from the 2007 Women's World Cup semifinal in favor of Briana Scurry. So she, in the name of sportsmanship, took the high road (not!) and threw Scurry under the bus with her public hissy-fit.
