The Hockeyroos power on with a comprehensive 6-1 against Spain. Is another medal heading Down Under and will the girls continue their fantastic golden reign?

Bloody hell Mal, tell us you made that one up yourself!

Its not going well for the GBR womens team, and though the GBR mens team had started well- they've just lost to the Dutch.

Kerly

Sadly I don't think he did make it up. The Aussies have a proud tradition of ludicrous names for their national teams.

I like the NZ basketball team's name btw - the Tall Blacks

Now you *definitely* made up the Tall Blacks thing!
