Greece vs. U.S.

Obviously, nobody will be shocked if the home team wins tonight (8:15 on the BBC, 3:15 EDT on the USA network). I expect the seats to be full and the fans to be rabid. Anything less and you can write these Games off.

Anyone who wants to know how the US team can turn it around only had to watch the US women play yesterday. If the men's team plays with that kind of intensity tonight they should win fairly easily. Playing a high octane game for 40 minutes is the only hope they have of winning in Athens.
