The Australian mens and womens Olympic basketball teams are both into the medal rounds, which is really exciting news. The Opals just beat Brazil, and will meet the USA in the Gold medal game. I really feel that they will beat the US.

The Boomers last night had a gutsy win over Italy and meet France today in the semi final. If they beat France, they will be assured of at least Silver, and have a slim hope of beating the US team, which really is no “Dream Team”.
