Brazil survived but remains entirely unimpressive. Britain always seems good for one upset tease in every tournament they're in, and it always ends the same, with them blowing it in the last few minutes.
The Rules learned in the Prediction game.
1: Brazil is always disappointing
2: Never dismiss Argentina solely because of age.
3: Never bet against Spain in a knockout game, unless it is against the US.
All right... Now we better start to take it serious. From now on, we just cant play like this anymore.
Watching the 1st quarter was more annoying than to watch a badminton game.
Why didn't GB try to foul when they were down 5 with 30 seconds left? Seemed like every timeout Finch was talking about pick & roll defense and they really could have used a play on offense.

aim low, score high
It was a shame we GB didn't get this game! Brasil was shocking! I'm sure we'll get our upset somewhere, sometime, hopefully before the world stops spinning! I feel for Deng, he didn't get worked as hard in this game but he's always forced, it's as if sometimes the other GB players have never see a basketball before! Freeland is off and on, what's his problem! Reinking is the man but he wastes too many chances sometimes which is dissapointing! So again into the 'if only' book for GB. If only Deng hit the free throws, if only Freenland hadn't miss handled the ball...
I look forward to the China match-up.. I obviously expect us to lose

GB played a excellent defense, just this.
they played his life game, i don't think they will play like this again.
Brazil missed a lot open 3 point shots... need to start knock down this shots!!!
