See the hardest thing (for me) about the recent OGs is picking who to root for. The Opals or the US? A host of current and former Storm players and a coach are involved. It’s really cool to see Birdy and AD rejoice over the US women’s 92-65 victory over the Australian Opals but it’s really really hard to see the disappointment painted on Lauren Jackson, Tully Bevilaqua, and Suzy Batkovic’s faces.
But in the end, one team has got to emerge on top. And it was the US, who got their fourth straight gold.
BTW, so LJ’s gonna have ankle surgery after the Games. What on earth is gonna happen to my Storm huh?
Congrats to the US but I wanted Australia to win. I’m disappointed that LJ will be missing the rest of the season and I’m quite worried about how we’re going to respond. We need some magic to happen for sure. 🙁
^ yeah, me too. a part of me wanted the opals to win, if only for lj because she really wanted that gold.
i’m not sure what’ll happen to the storm. we need a very very good post player. tsk tsk tsk.
