2 more gold medals for Australia in the cycling :thumb:
If you had to root for Korea or Australia, who'd you pick? Would the golden glitter of Aussie land win over pingpong playing memories of the old-country? :)

And Len; in what? The overall medal tally?

Just watched the b-ball game between USA and Spain.

Ended 102 - 94 for USA.

It was really great game. USA most of the time was leading. Stephon Marbury was great. He scored 31 pts. Odom, Iverson, Duncan, Wayde etc. were good too. For Spain as usual Pau Gasol was the best.

USA progress to the semis, while Spain is eliminated.

Good game, Spain were really close there for a while, but got tired as they lack the US' depth and dropped behind.

Marbury and Gasol the two players of the game, surprised by Marbury, as he's been crap in the other games so far. Don't think Wade was that good, he was definetely better in some of the previous matches. Duncan didn't play much due to fouls, but was good at the start of the match.

the korean was simply too aggressive, but the chinese wasn't too bad either - he responded with some bloody excellent shots.

    Even though I was born and raised in Australia, as they say... blood is thicker than water. I feel more Korean than I do Australian, even though I get along great with Aussies and I love living in this country.

    Of course I'll cheer my heart out for both countries, but if they were ever to come up against each other, my natural choice would be to support Korea :)

    Australia vs Netherlands in the hockey final; where's Erik when we need him :irritate:

    what a fantastic game of volleyball in the men's quarterfinals. Greece really should have made a formality of winning the match in the 4th set, but it was more a case of a great USA comeback than Greece choking
    :D

    Wade had some stolen balls, and was good at defence. Iverson was good at the 2nd half, he had some important points scored. Boozer was good too.

    Yeah, Boozer and Iverson was good. But Iverson is almost always good, he's one of my favs. Boozer impressed, and covered for Duncan good.

    Eh what the hell are you talking about?, i said i didnt knew about the judge error, but now that i does, i too think hamm is stupid.
    You think Hamm is a "bit*h" for a Judge's error? You obviously don't know what you're talking about, as you only have posts here to back your opinion up.

    If T-Mac or Kobe would be playing for USA then USA would be unbeatable.

    You didn't say "dumb", you said a "bit*h" dumbass, how many times do I have to remind you?

    Don't be such a dueshbag next time, and watch your languange you little prick, so this stuff doesn't happen again. And don't respond to that, just take it to heart.
