They may not be looking in the wrong place, but they are most certainly looking on the wrong day.

| If the US win this one by less than 40 they either eased up a hell of a lot or had a bad day. It could get pretty ugly pretty quickly.

WOOT!!
It's finally not at 5 in the damn morning!
I can get up for 7:15 a.m.
And by the way, y'all, we're on daylight time, so it's PDT.

I get angry about the 8 AM EDT starts, I can't imagine 5. I'm absolutely loving the 10:15 start!  |

I just have to laugh at how old Leslie looks out there. Someone oil up nan's knees. If this is how US handles Mali's zone, good luck with better teams. Also, why is Smith starting?
Meyers said that US is focusing on getting the ball into LLL which might explain their slow, unsteady start. I think she just bogs down the whole offence and one of your best weapons is your speed and athleticism.

| If those announcers think the USA is really struggling then they have not watched the other games they played. [/b]

| I think Candace is over any stage fright jitters she may have had. She's looking more natural out there.

They were feeding and forcing it to her in almost every possession, not a surprise she is leading scoring. If I were an American fan, I would take Fowles' or Parker's efficiency anytime, but as an Opals homer, go right ahead and keep treating her and Thompson like your main scoring options. Even when say Sylvia is missing baskets, the tempo is so much smoother and faster with her.
