Team(s)/Athlete(s) of Interest: Brazil

Time: 2:45 p.m.

Why You Should Watch: Brazil's men's soccer team has to hold it down for their country after Marta and Co. got bounced from the Games in the quarterfinals. The only team in the semis to have beaten every opponent in group play, Brazil is the clear favorite to advance to the finals over their next adversary Korea. Boasting speed, and plenty of options to score with Leandro Damiao, Neymar, and Givanildo Vieira de Souza or "Hulk," Brazil is looking to make quick, and light work of Korea on their way to compete for the gold in the finals.

Team(s)/Athlete(s) of Interest: Allyson Felix

Time: 3:25 p.m.

Why You Should Watch: Allyson Felix is still alive in the 200m and so is returning gold medalist Veronica Campbell-Brown, who is looking to take home her third consecutive gold medal. Newly crowned two-time 100m champ Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce will see both of these ladies in the semis, making this an ever tougher quest for the gold for Felix, but an ever better race to watch.

Team(s)/Athlete(s) of Interest: Kerri Walsh-Jennings and Misty May-Treanor

Time: 1:00 p.m.

Why You Should Watch: After steamrolling their way into the semis, Kerri Walsh Jennings and Misty May-Treanor show no signs of slowing down. After beating Italy 21-13, 21-13 on Sunday, the American duo look to demolish their next opponent in Beijing bronze medalist China.

Team(s)/Athlete(s) of Interest: Jordyn Wieber

Time: 11:23 a.m.

Why You Should Watch: Since losing out on a spot in the women's all-around, Wieber has been making her way back to the forefront of this competition. Earning a gold medal in the team all-around event last week, Wieber can further redeem her Games with a win in the floor exercise finals.

Team(s)/Athlete(s) of Interest: Gabby Douglas

Time: 9:47 a.m.

Why You Should Watch: Gymnastics sensation, and the new face of Corn Flakes, Gabby Douglas can add to her growing Olympic career with another gold medal in the beam finals. The 16-year-old, and face of the new Fab 5 (sorry Jalen), Douglas is not focused on her hair, she's focused on winning, and winning more gold.
