Basketball at the Summer Olympic Games 2016

So the Canadian gets tackled from behind and she's the one who gets the foul?  Curious calls indeed.

Ok, I hate complaining about reffing, but it has been atrocious this quarter.  

[orangeman 2,002]

But I mean, whatever the reffing.  Eventually you have to put a basket down.  Not impressive by Canada.

Brazil has beaten Nigeria 86-69. Means that we are in the quarterfinals.

Argentina beating Spain later on would mean that Spain would be out, Brazil would be in the quarterfinals and Croatia would have guaranteed at least 3rd place even if losing against Lithuania. But I doubt that this will happen, there is too much on the line for Spain and too little for Argentina. So we probably have to beat Lithuania to avoid playing USA.

We'll lose to Spain 99% sure, so Brazil won't make it sadly. I hope Croatia beats Lithuania later though, so we avoid 4th place.

Not surprised at all that Nigeria defeated us. We are always horrible against weaker teams (not just in basketball, everywhere!!)...

 

It would be sad to drop out after some fantastic games...
