Now that the pesky Olympics are over for the men...

We can finally turn our attention to something truly important Wednesday night: some serious qualifying for the World Cup that officially kicks off in South Africa in barely 22 months.

Even as the ladies remain in Beijing and prepare to face Brazil Thursday morning, the men will be in Guatemala City for CONCACAF qualifying. The game kicks off at 10 p.m. Wednesday on ESPN2.

Which game are you more excited about: the Olympics' gold medal game or the men's WCQ? Where do you plan to watch each game?
