Olympic
Eve
The countdown clock reads one day, but the Olympic footballers are far from
tucked into their beds. As the torch travels the last few miles to Olympic Stadium, soccer takes the field Thursday for its second day of
competition. The U.S. women make their long awaited debut against Norway
at Melbourne Cricket Ground, but not on national television: MSNBC, not
NBC, offers up the entire game, beginning at 6:30 p.m. ET/PT.
