I thought Australia played out the game well.

Usa -320 mill.

Australia 20 mill.

Big bloody difference but we only lost by 31.

Well done Boomers on a great Olympic campaign.

The US can suck their own .....:p

Gaze is about the only commentator who has shown any passion on the whole network. Towards the end he sounded like an angry drunk, made me laugh :)

Anyway, we fall off the ball for a few short patches and the USA completely flog us with such fast scoring. Small lead becomes big unassailable lead so quickly.

Ahh well. Our kids played well infront of the world at least.

What was the last few plays? Did greece have a missed shot to win?
Ah thinking on the spot DelFino killed Greece in the last quarter. Was red hot.

The last plays I remember is Greece were 2 down, Ginobilli attempted an awkward 3, greece rebound, ran it down and shot up a three with about 4 seconds left. missed. Argies rebound, Argies win. They were bloody fired up about it all too.
