Bermuda unfortunately. At 64k total pop we can't catch them. Still an amazing effort and probably more to come. A top 10 would be incredible.

Ow. Straight in the rib. Borat has to go for it, but concedes gracefully.

I don't think they are wearing chest protectors. Would have floored a lesser man

Ah give it to them.

This TMO is worse than Rugby

[Stargazer]

The Belgian goalkeeper saves the 5th, but the "TMO" takes ages to decide that there will be a re-take. I don't understand this at all.

The Belgian goalkeeper saves the retaken 5th shot as well and Belgium wins GOLD.

Aussies win Silver.

BTW, their coach is a Kiwi who was a few years ahead of me at high school.
