Live stream for Emu's v Turkey?
Oh, my bad, it was Croatia v USA in the final! Thanks guys well it was a good effort by the Croats in any case, well done to them too in taking the Yanks into O/T...
They all look the same to me, ha!
:)

Bear. We defeated the Serbs in the KNOCKOUT round of 16. If their intention was to deliberately lose to avoid the USA it definitely worked.

Now upon reflection, since we defeated the Serbs in an earlier qualifying game, one must ask the question did Serbia throw that game to avoid the USA until the final, or did we just play our best game against them?
They looked like a different outfit to the one which we played, could they have been planning this all along?

So, our Emu men wound it up in 7th place and the USA had to get over Serbia in O/T to win gold by about 8 points or something like that.
We had a young side and should be better for the experience in two years time. Watching the highlights from the final, there were some nice dunks in there, always a great game in recent years just a shame we couldn't crack it this time...
We should be proud of the boys and their efforts, they had some injury concerns but worked really hard for one another, showing some true Aussie gritt at times.

So anon 582. Would you enlighten us on the countries that have the best junior development programs.

Well said eeb0. Will be following Turkey with interest. On first observation they certainly have some talent.

Better team wins.

Turkey just too much talent in the long run. Killing us with the high pick and roll.

Yes because he was asking to fly Harry out not questioning the selection

Any chance of a time out?


Sensational stuff. Big few minutes coming out of Turkey's time out.

Gaaaaaaaakkkkkkk Attackkkkkkk

I like our chances - hanging tough.

Up 1 at the half. Nice fight back after struggling with Turkeys height and PG penetration for much of the first half.


Live stream on the FIBA site is great. Turkey back in front 9/8 after a fast start by the Aussies

Thanks. I'm in China so the youtube channel has been blocked. Havethe "starting shortly" screen up now so hope the stream works well.

A great interview with Dejan Vasiljevic following the game against his native Serbia.
Defeating Serbia had another meaning for Australia’s Dejan Vasiljevic
"I never thought of my self as an outsider. I'm a European kid on an Australian team and will always be proud to wear the green and gold."
