The men's U.S. game is at 2 p.m. Minnesota time. The game is set for 12 p.m. local time in Vancouver and they are 2 hours behind us, not ahead of us.
USA 3 - SUI 1 (ESPN says that SUI is Sweden... guess since Lebron isn't involved, it doesn't matter to them)
Backes with a hard-working goal that reminded me of his days in the purple.
Let's go USA!
