I know that the Olympics do not open until Friday, but there are some opportunities to enjoy Olympic action today! You can see all of the Calympic action in our CGB Cal Athletics Calendar. There is a lot of women's soccer action today, but only two games involve Cal athletes (all times Eastern).

1 July 25, 2012 Great Britain vs. New Zealand 11 a.m. Millenium Stadium;
Cardiff, Wales

3 July 25, 2012 USA vs. France 12 p.m. Hampden Park;
Glasgow, Scotland

So, where can you check out all this action? You can live stream all Olympics action this year if you have certain cable providers. US v. France should be here. New Zealand v. Great Britain should be here. All women's soccer action for today is available here.

The page indicates the following (confusingly, all times Pacific):

8:00a - 9:45a MSNBC Women's Soccer: GBR vs. NZL8:00am - 9:45am
