Stevo sounds like they ‘said’: [color=blue] > Wow, Japan is playing some aggressive football, trying to get back to > level agains the US women.[/color] So my response to Stevo’s comment is… Can’t quite understand why Megan Rapino was subbed out, IMO she’s the catalyst for the US team. To prove my point, within 5-10 minutes of her being subbed out, Japan scores & now it’s 2-1. WHOLE lotta time left in this one. – Stevo ---

Your Carli Lloyd looked a useful player and wouldn’t be out of place in some of our Premiership teams, except of course she’s female (that’s got to happen one day right?). [color=blue] > To prove my point, within 5-10 minutes of her being subbed out, Japan > scores & now it’s 2-1. WHOLE lotta time left in this one.[/color] Well as you know it ended 2-1 and USA won the gold with Japan getting silver (Canada won the bronze in an earlier play-off match). I was glad to see that both teams wanted to win as that doesn’t always happen plus some teams play negatively which doesn’t allow the game to flow. I’m quite proud that we were 2 of a record 80,203 attendance for a women’s Olympics football match. That did lead to an interesting journey back to our hotel though as we all pretty much left the stadium together. My wife and I also had tickets for women’s handball and men’s volleyball, both bronze medal matches, plus managed to get tickets to go up the Orbit tower next to the stadium. We tried for athletics tickets but at least by going up the tower we got to see inside. ## There was a great atmosphere at all the events plus London itself was buzzing. We’re glad we were able to be a part of it! Simon Novell/SUSE/NetIQ Knowledge Partner * * * ## Do you work with Novell technologies at a university, college or school?
