Oops.
All this serious intellection made me forget to post my latest report on the O'Limpids.
It was good to see the Brazilians do well, even against Oz, in the beach volleyball final.
The Brazilian gals had to win because they had the word BRA written on their bras.
(You can easily guess why I was watching this one and it had little to do with sport appreciation.)
Then they (the Bra-gals) made it to the final of the Real Football by thrashing the Krauts.
There, they will meet the USA who overshadowed Japan in the other semi.
Literally: the Yank goals were mostly due to the fact that Fukumoto, the Japanese keeper, was 5-foot-5 while the dearth for the otherwise skilled and accurate Japanese had much to do with the fact that the US keeper was 6-foot-2.

Oh yeh, and what prompted my memory was that the latter (US keeper) bore the fabulous name, I kid you not, of Hope Solo.
Looked to me more like a Wookie in drag.
