Well the bronze medal game against Spain is about to start. I hear the Boomers have never won an Olympic medal. Maybe today is the day!

so close!

They were robbed by the ref.

Spain fell over and got free throws.

Spain had the ref wrapped around their finger.

Very controversial calls all through the match and costly ones near the end.

It was a Cecchin like performance from the ref alien.

 

[Rabbits20]

We keeping getting robbed in sports over the years from other teams diving. I'm sick of it.

do you not know your boomers history? 88 in seoul we won the qf v spain then lost a sf to yugoslavia and the bronze medal game to the us. 96 in atlanta we beat croatia in a qf, got flogged by the us in a semi, and lithuania beat us for bronze. i have some history here. i wrote a famous letter to the editor in an australian basketball magazine telling of my disgust that longley chose to get minor surgery and miss the olympicsso he could get more nba money the next season. added to my chagrin was the telecaster employing him for expert commentary (rubbing our patriotic noses in it was how i described my angst). if he played half fit we contain sabonis better and win a bronze, imho.

Joe Ingles again today shows how he can get himself back into an nba contest after an ordinary first half. Looking back on the olympic bronze final memory now the hurt is wearing off, i cannot believe how this current group of talent missed out being our first medal winners. For me, it came down to the bairstow injury and wasting a space in the squad with the useless goulding taking up a chair on the sideline.
