Very interesting, Tony. Thanks. I got a good picture. I guess the US Women's soccer team won the gold? I missed that somehow.

I'll have to make a point to follow the volleyball finals.

I didn't mean to imply that I thought the Brazilian athletes, who fell short, were subjected to mean-spirited treatment. I knew that wasn't the case.

I didn't know about the extent of governmental corruption and the Soccer Confederation. That was an intriguing analogy.

I would guess that national attention to the World Cup exceeds that of the Olypics?
