Awesum effort. Great commentating as well they were getting rite into it. Thought there was going to be some biff just before half time

Good stuff!

I hope we play your guys in the finals... on current form, it would be a great contest I reckon...

We led the US for three quarters last night, at some times by 10 points. But then we fell away...

But we were on fire for a while. 8)

The shots dried up & the silly, uncontested errors killed us. The US capitalised, being the great athletes they are. The US shot an unbelievable percentage from the floor, something like 58%

But it's a good sign for Oz that instead of saying "we're stoked to get so close to the Seppos", we're filthy we didn't beat them...

Cheers,

I was watching it, well the detailed highlights of it. They played well the Aussies for most of the match but towards the end the US started dominating and won comfortably in the end.
