russia unlucky with brazillian tall pushing off in a trap with 3.45 to go - and gets the foul his way - sent to the line and puts them in front by 1.

another tough call for russia - clean block but the slightest incidental body contact.
brazil miss both throws !

smart time out straight after russian time out by brazil - redefine their match ups

T.O. worked against them because Russia hits the three, and Brazil had to try and make a full court press to get a shot...which missed the target..RUSSIA WINS

omg - what a trey ! russia by 1 should have been and 1
so now if we can beat GB and russia -
scenario if we can win those 2 games -
brazil, russia and aust tie
brazil + 4 ; - 1 = + 3
russia + 1 : ?
aust - 4 ; ? - need to beat russia by 8 or more
of course this all means nothing if brazil or russia beat spain

We can beat Russia if we have a really good day, but it would definitely be a big upset.
I agree with Paul, but what does this win by russia do to our top 3 standings? if russia lose to spain and we beat russia i guess we will be tied for 3rd? in that scenario... however sure if we lose to russia were almost definitely 4th and if we lose to GB were out of it all...

Give me a break Paul. We are no chance. Showing your utter cluelessness as per usual.

Deios58, would you like to stake everything you own on the game, against no return? You're obviously that confident to believe the Boomers cannot possibly win.
All paul's saying is that on our day we could win, and that's fair enough. He's very realistically said that it would be considered an upset - i.e., it's unlikely.
