I'm not a fan of water polo (the wet equivalent of beach volleyball) but some of those guys are so damn sexy. Such as Niccolo Gitto of Italy:

Oscar Pistorius Bows Out
In 400m Semifinals
"Blade Runner" Oscar Pistorius of South Africa finishes
in 46.54 seconds and fails to qualify for the men's 400m
final, but in a touching moment, exchanges bibs with
gold-medal contender Kirani James.

I'm watching the USA/Tunisia volley ball match and the US is dominating.. How sexy is Sean Rooney?
Sheriff Roland:
Well the U.S.A. domination of Canada in women soccer continues. The Americans scored the winning goal (4-3) with a few seconds left in extra time of overtime. They generally dominated during the entire game even though Canada had the lead (or were tied) through the entire game (save maybe 10 seconds at the end of extra time).
Canada's goals were all from the same player but they were all good looking goals. Can't say the same about the U.S. goals.
Their (U.S.) first came with some bungling defensively from Canada. The ball bounced on two defencemen before tricking in the net. Their second goal came off the inside of a goal post, and their third goal came after some truly questionable ruling by the ref (for calling an indirect kick because of delay in the game [which normally calls for a warning from the ref], which developped moments later into a direct kick - cause the ball hit the arm of two Canadian players). The last goal was as beautiful as the three Canadian goals.
So Canada now plays for bronze with the French while the U.S. will fight for gold with the only other team that beat the Canadians, Japan.
I like our chances to finally earn our first team medal at the Olympics, after 76 years.
