Whas Happened In Sports Last Night

• Women’s Olympic Soccer: You don’t see the Canadians beating out notoriously great soccer nations too often, but the Olympics were kicked off by a Canadian victory against the ladies of Argentina. Dude, put lipstick on Lionel Messi and sub the sucker in. He won’t mind playing for the men’s and women’s team. Canada 2, Argentina 1. [Yahoo]
• MLB: After clawing their way back to a tie, the Dodgers gave up a crucial HR to Ryan Ludwick and lost in the 11th. Good news is Andruw Jones found a way to hit a HR. Manny Ramirez went 2-3 with two walks. Cardinals 6, Dodgers 4. [ESPN]
• Women’s Olympic Soccer: The Japanese ladies had to fight their way back from a 2-0 deficit, but managed to earn a draw after a 72nd goal and an 86th minute goal. New Zealand’s gals have yet to win an Olympic soccer match in their history. Japan 2, New Zealand 2. [Xinhua]
