The men's football tournament at the 2012 Olympics kicks off Thursday, and the scheduling gods have been kind. Unlike the women's tournament, which featured blocks of games and the two best games on at the exact same time on Wednesday, the best men's games are well spaced out. Brazil and Great Britain have some overlap, but the Brazil-Egypt game is unlikely to be one of the "best games." Expect Brazil to roll.
