<p>back to back PC's against Black Sticks....</p>

[taniwharugby]

<p>2nd attempt is wide...Black Sticks need to get their attacking game on!</p>

[taniwharugby]

<p>still 1-0 at end of 3rd quarter...Black Sticks had 2 late PCs but unable to get either</p>

[Billy Tell]

<p>Ah, this is extremely frustrating.  Need more composure in the red zone.  Merry free on goal but took a panic shot.</p>

[sparky]

<p>Lots of possession by NZ, but shut out by excellent GB defence and poor composure by the Black Sticks forwards.</p>

[taniwharugby]

<p>Whitelock with a YC and GB score...2-0</p>
<p> </p>
<p>tough to come back now.</p>

[taniwharugby]

<p>3-0, we are done</p>

[sparky]

<p>3-0 to GB.</p>

[Billy Tell]

<p>That's it 3-0.  Too individualistic, Britain have done nothing flash, just kept their head, and taken their chances.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Pretty disappointing.</p>

<p>GAH. Choke.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>GB really are their bogey team. Unfortunately this game is going to do nothing to help the mental block.</p>

[sparky]

<p>GB look very, very organised. NZ look like a scratch team that has just be put together in comparison.</p>

[sparky]

<p>All over, 3-0.</p>

<p>Yeah, GB defence very good.  NZ looked like a team of individuals.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Forced to watch it on the BBC :(</p>

Once again the woman's hockey team bottle it in the game that counts<br>
Cue further heartbreak and tears in the bronze medal play off...

Boomers crush Lithuania this morning to end our shitty run of QF exits.<br><br>
Argies starting strongly against the USA. I'm no expert of the game but the Yanks look like they don't give a fuck about each other.<br><br>
The Argies have awesome support - crowd is nutso

[NTA]

And the Yanks have woken up

<p>That Ryan Lochte robbery story is getting weirder and weirder. Latest seems to be that when they went through Olympic village security, he had his missing wallet.</p>

<p>Ryan Lochte is a dimwitted idiot so I wouldn't be surprised at all if he either exaggerated the truth, or just made the whole thing up as a way of getting attention. He had some ridiculous reality TV show a while back where he came across as an A-hole of the highest order.</p>

[Bovidae]

<p>I would think that Lochte bagging a Playboy Playmate would give him all the attention he needs.  :)</p>

[ACT Crusader]

<p>Three big wins so far in the Men's basketball QF's. Aussies looked sharp with some quality defence. Lithuania is one of those teams when they get a little behind or in foul trouble they drop their heads and are susceptible to big losses.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Impressed with the US this morning. Probably their best game defensively. This helped some of the guys pick it up offensively, particularly KD.</p>
