          • 1406: From CNN's Tom McGowan:

            "With the feverish excitement in the Olympic Park, it’s easy to forget that the Games are continuing along the length and breadth of Britain. In just under 30 minutes time, way up north in Newcastle, theU.S. women’s football team go for a place in the semifinals against New Zealand. Soccer’s grand tour of the British Isles continues with the ever-impressive Brazil facing off against world championsJapan, before the hosts Great Britain try to book a place in the last four against Canada in Coventry. One country has already booked its place in the medal matches, with France registering a 2-1 win over Sweden earlier today."
