The opening ceremony isn't until Friday, but the Olympics have begun, and the U.S. women's soccer team has already lost, falling to Norway 2-0 today.

Playing without their star, Abby Wambach, who is out of the Olympics with a broken leg, Team USA lost for only the second time ever in women's Olympic soccer. Norway scored two goals in the first five minutes, and the game was never really in doubt.

The loss puts the Americans at the bottom of Group G, which also includes Japan and New Zealand. Team USA gets Japan next, and it's a must win, or else the American women won't be defending their 2004 gold medal.
