Non-Boomers Olympics Chat
Some interesting results in other games last night, in particular the closeness of Brazil v GB. Brazil ended up coming away 5 point victors but it looks like things were pretty tight the whole way through and at quarter time GB were up 11-4. Yes, that's not a typo, the GB defense held Brazil to 4 points in a quarter, this doesn't bode well for a Boomers squad whose offence isn't exactly firing on all cylinders. If we go into our game against GB already chalking it up as a win we risk getting a massive tusk up the runter.
Another interesting result was France taking down Argentina, not exactly an upset as France are obviously very strong but I probably would have expected Argentina to win that one.
The other results were as expected, USA pumping Tunisia, Russia comfortably beating China and Lithuania 20 odd points too strong for Nigeria.
If I had Foxtel and nothing to do during the day I reckon I could easily stay up and just watch 6 straight games of Olympics hoops every 2nd night, so many good teams in action with the stakes for every game so high.
