No, I haven’t watched any game coz I can’t find no frikkin’ coverage in my part of the planet. Booo! Tried CCTV yesterday but they only showed the China vs Germany Men’s Game. What was I thinking — of course they’re gonna show it, CCTV is a Chinese channel after all. Drat.<\/p>\n

Anyone has an idea how I can watch a game? I’m pulling for a US-Australia Gold Medal Game (*crosses fingers*). Kinda excited coz the Opals rock and I totally wanna see the LJ-LL smackdown haha. And oh, of course, Sue at the helm and Taurasi too, and fine, (sige na nga) Candace Parker. I still haven’t decided which team to root for.<\/p>\n

Anyhoo, the current standings are the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Group A<\/strong><\/td>\nWins<\/strong><\/td>\nLosses<\/strong><\/td>\nPts<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"\" Australia<\/td>\n5<\/td>\n0<\/td>\n10<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"\" Russia<\/td>\n4<\/td>\n1<\/td>\n9<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"\" South Korea<\/td>\n2<\/td>\n3<\/td>\n7<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"\" Belarus<\/td>\n2<\/td>\n3<\/td>\n7<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"\" Brazil<\/td>\n1<\/td>\n4<\/td>\n6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"\" Latvia<\/td>\n1<\/td>\n4<\/td>\n6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The undefeated World Champion Opals (go Opals!) are leading Group A after they beat a strong contender in Russia (with Becky Hammon and Maria Stepanova and Svetlana Abrosimova) 75-55.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/p>\n

Australia, Russia, South Korea, and Belarus (I think … or is it Brazil — not sure) will enter the quarterfinals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Group B<\/strong><\/td>\nWins<\/strong><\/td>\nLosses<\/strong><\/td>\nPts<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"\" United States of America<\/td>\n5<\/td>\n0<\/td>\n10<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The US Women top Group B and will enter the quarterfinals undefeated as well. In their last preliminary, they defeated New Zealand 96-60, causing the Tall Ferns to be eliminated from the next stage of the competition. Sue Bird and Company will face South Korea in the QuarterFinals.<\/p>\n
