We may not be the best at soccer, but at least we're the best at basketball.

 

And football.

Anyone who can't beat the US at soccer must be quite ashamed of themselves.

Joking aside, I didn't catch the game but I'm kind of curious why the pro NBA players can play but the pro-Soccer players can't?  It seems like getting the best of the best in there would make sense /shrug

Because the far bigger football events took place already months ago (Africa Cup of Nations) and some weeks ago (Euro 2008). Furthermore all major European football leagues start their new season during the Olympic Games.

Football/soccer is the main sport in general worldwide, but it's a marginalized sport at the Olympic Games.

 

This is quite true.  A fine example of that would be the whole united kingdom football affair. I don't know all the details, but basically the IOC only want one team to represent the U.K. at the tournament, whereas  at the World cup and Euro cup, the scots, england, ireland, etc. etc. have their own representitives. So i guess they just decline an invite to the games (both men and women teams), which would lead to spectulation whether or not these rules change when London hosts the next olympic games in 2012.

the best teams may attend, but most of them don't carry their star players, or "a team."
