Congrats to our girls for winning their first medal ever in basketball.

Also worth noting that USA's women basketball team play way better that the men. Sure, the boys are stronger, jump higher and can do more flashy stuff, but the girls have way better basketball fundamentals and attack with elaborated plays.



They sure take their sweet time with those 7 goals.

Only 30 minutes until pounding time.

What happened to it?

It's happening right now in the lockerroom. Someone is certainly getting pounded for the pitty goal a certain keeper let through on purpose.

Not worried though. The better team hasn't scored yet and they still got plenty of time.

Yeah, that beautiful fault kick was definitely let through on purpose

No Manuel Neuer on this planet would've let that slow sinker through. You got a goal because you've had an A class striker against a C class keeper, well done.

And this is what a goal looks like when you didn't get help from your opponent.

Horrible second half. Whoever wins in overtime deserves it now. Just praying that there's no penalty shootout.

Aaaand another gold for GB. 25 now in 14 different sports, no other country has such diverse success at these games.

Chuckle, I dunno the 40 golds of the USA is 13 different sports is a good argument otherwise. Still, massive respect for what GB has done in these games. I'm used to China and Russia being our medal rivals, nice to see GB building on their success in the London games and moving up in the rankings.

The women's team definitely has better teamwork. It feels like the USA men depend too much on their pure atheleticism and individual skill. I still want to see them win gold tomorrow, but I'd like to see them approach the games with some humility.



Calling it now, Brazil takes this. They have the better keeper.

Congratz to Brazil. Now your team has finally won a final at Maracanã. About time.
