<p>0-0 at 1/4 time. Mrs McCaw missing a half chance.</p>

Not sounding promising for Black Sticks

<p>How do we look?</p>

<p>I'm not a hockey expert, but I think we are marginally better. However, we have missed our chances, and Britain nicked a goal. We completely dominated the last 5 minutes or so of the 2nd quarter, but zilch.</p> -

<p>was listening on the radio for the first 2 quarters, and that wasn't how it sounded, sounded more they a deserved lead, although as you say we have had a few decent shots wide of the mark. GB start quarters strong and we finish stronger.</p> -

<p>Meanwhile, the Brazilian police have arrested the head of Olympic Ireland, Pat Hickey, on charges of ticket sales misappropriations. The Brazilian police arrested him in his Rio hotel room in the wee hours, and took him out of the hotel in his dressing gown. By chance, there was a mobile phone to capture the event. ;)</p>

<p>Someone sold some tickets? What a shame the Brazilians didn't think of that</p> -
<p>Judge has ordered the US Swimmers to forfeit their Passports as they investigate their claims of robbery that are supposedly fraudulent....although one has skipped Brazil back to US.</p>

<p>bit of blood on the dance floor!</p>

<p>back to back PC's against Black Sticks....</p>
-
<p>2nd attempt is wide...Black Sticks need to get their attacking game on!</p>
-
<p>still 1-0 at end of 3rd quarter...Black Sticks had 2 late PCs but unable to get either</p>
-
<p>Ah, this is extremely frustrating. Need more composure in the red zone. Merry free on goal but took a panic shot.</p>
-
<p>Whitelock with a YC and GB score...2-0</p>
<p> </p>
<p>tough to come back now.</p> -
<p>3-0, we are done</p>
-
<p>That's it 3-0. Too individualistic, Britain have done nothing flash, just kept their head, and taken their chances.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Pretty disappointing.</p>
