Olympic Daily Glance: Day -1 — Flagged

Thursday at the Olympic Games: More soccer. Soccer fans probably think these Games are about them … they’re so vain.

WHAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY

On Wednesday, the U.S. women’s soccer team fell behind 2-0 and came back to win 4-2 against France. African women’s soccer teams didn’t do so well. Neither did the people who picked out the flags to show on the big screen at one soccer venue, which showed South Korean flags by pictures of North Korean players. They had a little delay after that.

MEDAL EVENTS

Geez, could you wait another day or two?
