Should be routine if Canada is playing to the max. France should have lost to Japan.

Canada/USA in the Gold Medal game would be the perfect way to end the games.

I've been reading about the Kerr vs Ingebrigtsen rivalry in the men's 1500m this morning. Makes me really want to catch that race. I know Mark Lee was talking about it in the semi finals. Who knew that runners would dislike each other so much?

I don't like the Norwegian guy's whole deal - is that the side I'm supposed to come down on?

Not good, lots of time left but looks like men against boys right now. I hate the strategy of just blindly throwing up threes especially when you are struggling early. Possess the ball, grind it out inside and just try to work into the game.

Missing wide open shots under the basket ... wtf. Is there a magnet in the ball?

Probably, at least from the BBC's side of reporting.

I would imagine your chances of winning a basketball game when Dillon Brooks is taking the most shots is sitting right around -100%. Might wanna make sure actually good scorers are shooting the ball more.

Yeah the French have been getting some NBA-level home cooking with the refs, makes a comeback even less likely. Funny thing is France is playing pretty poorly too, I know people have tried to say FIBA basketball is better, but it's the reffing that is better. The quality of ball in general has been rank.
