match fixing of the lara bingle variet

That Spain V Lithuania result is so fishy.

Big time, that result made sure they were both on the opposite side of the draw to the USA.

 

[chargers 09]

I don't think we can topple Lithuania. I wonder if there will be fireworks in the Serbia-Croatia game.

What im really enjoying this tournament is the relaxation on jersey numbers. From memory each team had to have numbers between 4 and 15? Now we see Ricky Rubio rocking 79, KARINIAUSKAS honouring Ron Atest with 93, and Barbosa 19.

Spain are on the same side of the draw as the USA ?

 

[Whiskers]

Apologies Croatia not Spain.
Croatia played Lithuania in that last game to ensure they had the right side of the draw.

 

[Pedantic]

Lithuania will be tough but on the other hand if we can't beat them we weren't going to medal anyway.

I think Lithuania being the bogey team they are for us will refocus the group and have them coming out hard with zero complacency. Not that I think they would be complacent in an Olympic quarter finals, but a complacency disease seems to be spreading through our Olympic team at the moment.

im really afraid of this game.

They will all be chanting "don't do a Bronte/Cate" before the tip off

Or a Hockeyroos, Kookaburras, Men's Rugby 7's, Stingers, Sharks.... think I have them all covered. Not saying they all should have won gold or even medals, but gee they all definitely under-achieved.

Delly is number 1 for assists in the tourney and Mills number 2 for PPG

Scored a pretty good timeslot for our match

Well, that was pathetic.

I so want us to do well, and I'm trying hard to like her, but Cambage is an absolute clown - the way she carries on is embarrassing.

 

[Richard Cranium]

28 field goals.

26 turnovers.

 

[Drummond]

That was difficult to watch. Up in less than 5 hours for a 10 hour shift. Can't wait for that.

 

[King Elvis]

Penny Taylor is a class act, at least.

Same mate - it was shithouse.

 

[FallingLiefs]

Terrible. Serbs won shooting 35%. Haven't been convincing at all but was about as bad as we've been.
