Here's a tidbit:

ATHENS, Greece (AP) - The U.S. women's soccer team will face host Greece and 2003 World Cup quarterfinalist Brazil in the preliminary round of this summer's Olympic tournament.

The 10-team field was divided into three groups at Wednesday's draw. The Americans, who won the silver medal in 2000, were placed in Group G, where they will also play Australia. Three of the group's four teams will advance to the quarterfinals.

Sweden, Japan and Nigeria comprise Group E. Mexico, China and 2003 World Cup champion Germany were placed in Group F.

In the 16-team men's draw: Greece, South Korea, Mali and Mexico will play in Group A; Paraguay, Japan, Ghana and Italy were placed in Group B; Argentina, Serbia-Montenegro, Tunisia and Australia comprise Group C; and Costa Rica, Morocco, Iraq and Portugal will play in Group D.

The U.S. men's team failed to qualify - and so did the Cameroon men and Norway women, gold medal-winners in 2000 in Sydney.
