Can someone explain to a non-olympic-viewer...

I thought the opening ceremony is this Friday.

Why is there even a game today, Wednesday, to lose?

Olympic soccer lasts so long that they nearly always get started before the opening ceremony.

The soccer schedule (round robins), required they start two days early to accommodate all the games

there are so many events to schedule that the opening ceremonies may be after certain events...

the US beating Sweden was one of those less attended events.
