Appalling coverage from channel 7, can't be surprised though given
the disregard they've shown footy fans over the years.

Do they realize that people who have channel 7 also have 72 and Mate?
Why show something on Mate then put it on 7HD straight after its finished.

Im seeing more horses on 72 so far than on the racing channel, onya 7

I reckon he has claims at being the greatest sportsman of all time. 21 Olympic Gold Medals is absolutely unbelievable.
Can you bring a man to his feet when defeat is on repeat?

I'm conflicted about this.
Best sportsperson every 4 years yes.
For best sportsperson of all time, I would be looking at someone who is doing it week in week out every year.
Floyd Mayweather?
Michael Jordan?
Serena Williams?
Roger Federer?

Sorry my bad... Team USA. Understand they have some top line players who couldn't be bothered going to Rio...despite that at least we are right in this.

The refs seem to have bought into the "Aussies are rough" story and fouling them harshly.

But a few dodgy ones against the us too

Most of the teachers at school are streaming this on their whiteboards for the kids... so good...

Boomers are right in this but still have the feeling that the US can play and put on 30 points real quick...
