Soccer is the first Olympic event, kicking off on 25 July (2 days before the Opening Ceremony) and will go to various stadiums throughout England, Wales and Scotland, before the finals return to London. Discuss all the soccer action here.

And the women's soccer has kicked off with several matches completed or nearing completion. So far:

USA defeated France 4-2
Great Britain defeated New Zealand 1-0
North Korea is leading Columbia 2-0 (in injury time now)

A very embarassing (and potentially volatile) gaffe in the North Korea game with the North Korean players introduced with a South Korean flag

I suppose it could have been worse...could have given the Israeli's atheletes the Iranian flag...mind you there's still time. It's just another screw-up to add to the list that's making these Games a farce.
