Shades, give us YOUR Team USA 1st & 2nd rotations.

Allemand may be too much for our guards. Definite X-Factor for Belgium.

WTF Plum

[toad455]

Solid game. Belgium only down by 1 at the half. Belgium doing well exposing our weak guards.

fun game to watch.

It's kinda hard to not root for the Belgian team...

[Coyotes]

If you're Belgium, I think you have to be happy about where things stand. You're one point behind without Emma scoring at all in the second quarter. Meeseman has been a force to be reckoned with. Belgium just needs to find a way to neutralize Griner.

Allemand is such an upgrade over Vanloo

[Coyotes]

The fact that the United States just sunk 4 threes in a row and only lead by two is a small miracle.

[Aladyyn]

Watching Belgium guards guarding US posts is funny but they're actually doing a decent job

[Coyotes]

Fun that Griner can run into a player and get a foul.

[Nixtreefan]

Did she just say "sharted"

[myrtle]

well Aussieland should be getting happier. Both Loyd and Taurasi having their best games and they never do it two games in a row.

Spain-Belgium should be a fun game tomorrow.

[myrtle]

huge thing that Griner has learned to shoot FTs.

[myrtle]

for whom the depth tolls

[bcdawg04]

I love the confidence from Belgium.

Damn, those passes from Jewell and then Griner! Pretty!

[Silky Johnson]

That third quarter showcased exactly what I was saying in that "Retire already!" thread: USAB's margin for error is so much greater than the rest of the world. Other countries pretty much have to play forty minutes of immaculate basketball to beat the United States. The US really only have to play, like, six good minutes of basketball to beat the rest of the world. A quarter, at most.

You're not going to win a battle of attrition against the US; you're just not. All they have to do is get one of your three best players in foul trouble, and it's a wrap.

ok let's leave Bird in for the whole 4th quarter and make sure she can't play tomorrow...

Maybe Linskens can be something. Raman still sucks unfortunately.

[Silky Johnson]

Belgium is a very disciplined team, and they play with a lot of energy. I'd like them for the bronze, on a neutral court, but I expect the home crowd to push Spain over the top.
