probably miss one of the quarters bcos the hackket swim, which is fair enough.

pleased they showwed the hole boomers game the other day.

Agreed good coverage of the boomers and also the spain, USA game last night

Opals game strarts 12.45 Adelaide time

Channelsurfing site seems to be down. Any others?

Tough game today. Russia even with Opals in pool.

russia off to good start 5 pts up at start of 2nd,
one russian allready has 4 blocks including a massive one on jackson

australia look dis organised, to intent on jacking up outside shots, down by 7pts

jackin them up from almost half way ? whats happening

anyone else watching this?

can some one explain why we are jacking up more threes then lanard copeland on heat!

14pts down

I expect we will soon lose coverage because 7 are due to go to the Footy at 1:30

What is the Channel 7 number, I am getting ready to ring them if they do cut to the footy.

0-10 from 3pt line yet they continue to jack up air balls, 21-35 russias way

OMG they quit the game to go watch f%%#^%&in AFL.. b@stards

Just getting into the game and now Ch7 has now crossed to their AFL committments.......
Opals were down by 12.

Who wants to come with me to the channel 7 building with a couple of petrol bombs i prepared earlier....

Who wants to take deck chairs and an esky to the footpath across from Woody's house and watch it get raided by ASIO?

I am so pissed with 7! Stupid f wits! Todays Sunday mail : " Todays match between carlton and North Melbourne has been shifted to foxtel after Seven and the AFL reached an agreement that will allow more live olympics coverage" So wtf are they showing it then!!!!!!!!!!! Dickheads!

+1 to your suggestion Isaac,

seriously though back on basketball, i havent seen the opals panic like that for such a loooooooooong time.

Phone 1300 737 507 and register your complaint. Be ready to sit in a queue for 5 mins!

32-37 percentage up from 30 to 39%

Thought the Opals would get it together, and be good to watch that. But, here in SA, CH7 cut it to go to AFL. Just gotta pick myself up off the floor.

All tied up....go Opals! If anyone rings 7 to complain can you tell them that were in fact not meant to cross to the footy. It said in todays paper that the AFL and 7 agreed to transfer the game to foxtel. Soooo frustrating! They have butchered these olympics!

massive comeback from the first half.

offensive rebounds killed them.
over all solid match,

only concern is the 3pt% and the fact Russia managed to panic the opals into silly mistakes in the first half.

well done to the girls for coming back so hard, and to take the win.

phillips and grima didnt see any court time going by the play by play on the fiba site

Grima got 6.34mins. Randall & Phillips DNP

my bad got randall and grima mixed up, you think though 15 pts up 1:30 to go those two could have got some garbage time.

Massive 2nd half Opals.
Outscored them 50 to 18.
3rd 30 to 10 and held them to 8 in 4th,
Brilliant girls.

thanks dana,

awesome 2nd half, hopefully this is a shake up for the opals the two halfs are like jekyl and hyde

Watching the game at the mother in laws and then switched to AFL. No internet so I just switched of the TV. Really crap coverage from 7. At least I can find out if we won here. Thanks team.

Would have really enjoyed to see the comeback.
What a crap job 7 have done of televising the Olympics.
