Opals lose to Team USA

In the womens basketball today, it was USA all the way for victory. The American team played their best, and were rewarded for the effort. The Australian team just didn't seem to be in their best form: missing baskets and foul shots on several occasions, and not penetrating the American defense the way they did against Brazil. The refereeing was also quite suss: an American throw-in when it was obviously an American touch-out, and several wierd fouls that almost eliminated two of the top Aussie players, sending them to the bench. It seemed that luck just didn't come the Aussie's way this time.

Of course, the bad calls didn't help, and I think that this has been a problem at this year's Olympics.
