Sweden-Canada final then. Swedes beat us 4-2 in the pool and I can't see that being turned around.

Is every Australian athlete being bred from the same strain as Hoopah? I swear almost every Aussie I see at these games has their eyes about a millimetre apart.

Women's hockey:

The Netherlands are the first to score.
0 - 1 NL

Disappointing. On the flip side some of the Dutch girls are quite hawt

I stayed in these same hotel as the Dutch field hockey team once in the Nehtherlands.

Many of them, are indeed, seriously seriously hot. On the flip side, the shortest one was about 6ft 1.

How is that a flip side?

Original horse, long gone...

Stargazer

Full time:
The Netherlands 3 - 0 New Zealand

The Dutch progress to the semis, the Kiwis are out.
Can't really complain. The Dutch were just so much better.

The previous women's hockey quarter-finals:
Germany 0 - 3 Argentina
Australia 0 - 1 India

The last quarter-final:
Spain v Great Britain (at midnight NZT).

Tough result, that. They'd been going along reasonably well.
