Glad I resisted the urge to post about the Opals 90 minutes ago

 

[LukeParkerno1]

The reward is getting flogged by the US lol

 

[theyellowsash]

jeez who thought that it would be the opals to get through today

 

[manureid]

Lol, imagine if that 3 dropped

 

[two blue tiger]

Surely that last three was going to drop!!!

 

[samFFC]

Bye Canada

John Casey going a bit OTT.

They scraped over the line - hardly one of the Opals finest moments

Andrew Gaze is such a doofus

 

[Drummond]

Hahahah Andrew Gaze man I love him!

 

[Underarm]

Well there you go. How come they are allowed to play as a country? Wouldn't that be like Tasmania having their own team?

More like the Irish. Northern Irish can choose between competing for GB or Ireland.

Was there Aussie commentary? Dammit

 

[BuddysBiggestFan]

Calm down Gazey and Maher. You’re just out of the group stage….

 

[pepsi]

AMAZING. None of us wrote them off at any point and were not critical in any way

 

[smasha]

Two great performances tonight by our Matildas and Opals.

This was always the plan. This way we might get the chance to knock out the US before the medals!

 

[2006_Eagles]

YESSSS COME ON!!!!! Needed something positive to end the day!

 

[Moonwatcher]

This is bigfooty. We don't do that!

more like Norfolk Island.

Loads of places like that in the Olympics. Bermuda, Hong Kong, Virgin Islands, Cook Islands. Think if you are an external territory from way back, you get to go to the Olympics

Calm down Gazey and Maher. You’re just out of the group stage….

And it’s Spain or the US next round

 

[pepsi]

And it’s Spain or the US next round

After the heartbreak of today with the Matildas and hockeyroos you have to enjoy the epic wins. Ups and downs of following sport always. Enjoy the good moments.

crazy finish.
Now onto the Baseball Japan v USA 6-6 bottom of the 10th!

For the same reason Taiwan (Chinese Taipei) and Bermuda are

It is more than I expected without Liz there

Yep with the Olympics you get a few footy seasons' worth of highs and lows all packed into a fortnight.
