Australia winning the Hoopyballs against Nigeria by 14 with just under 4 minutes to go. It is shit to watch, even for basketball IMHO.

Wasn’t a great game, but Mills showed his class though.

Too many turnovers from Nigeria (and the Boomers also). Nigeria’s best player was kept quiet.

Thought she was a little slow around 300 but she gathered herself and smashed it

[Stargazer]

Spain has scored again. 2-2

[Stargazer]

Spain better than NZ in this 3rd quarter.

[Stargazer]

Uggh, and now they score. Spain take the lead: 2 - 3.

[Stargazer]

Yussss! Great goal from the Black Sticks!! 3 - 3

[Stargazer]

Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss.

Black Sticks score again, to make it 4 - 3. Just over 3 minutes to go.

Oh wait. Spain's captain's referral ...

[Stargazer]

The referral fails. The goal stands.

[Stargazer]

Ah f*ck. Penalty corner Spain. Not sure I agree with that.

[Stargazer]

Phew.

[Stargazer]

The Black Sticks win!!

Final score: NZL 4 - 3 Spain.

Awesome game. Intense until the end.

[Yeetyaah]

First time I've watched hockey properly and it didn't disappoint. I feel like the Spaniards are quite disrespectful to the refs?

[Stargazer]

@yeetyaah I think they were starting to get desperate and their emotion just took over, but yeah, it looked that way.
