Olympic Basketball- Australia VS USA?

Question

If the Australian's can beat the USA today, should it be considered the greatest upset in sporting history?

* I am well aware there is a 1 in 500 chance of this happening i just want your opinion.

Answer 1

1 in 500 chance is pretty generous. I'm Australian and I'm willing to concede we have absolutely no chance.

It would be like the Melbourne Football Club beating Geelong by 200 points... not gonna happen!

Answer 2

probably not the greatest in history, but certainly for the Beijing Olympics!!

I wish they would hand over the gold to the Americans already so we dont have to see them prancing around the court showing off.

Go AUSSIES!!

Answer 3

the americans will win but its always not beyond belief that there could be an upset....i'm sitting here now watching all the dumbarse chanel 7 hype about the game.anyway offensive fowls defensive fowls?seems to me the team with the biggest profile and most aggresive play get the umpires favour.australias only chance is to charge in and play aggresive.

Answer 4

There is always a chance. Make sure you mark Kobe.

Answer 5

greatest upset in sporting history?, I hope your kidding........right.

Biggest upset of the Olympics, but not even close in sporting history.

Answer 6

Surely if Aussies beat USA it will be the worst crush for the USA team ever and they will surely clean the path for Spain for winning the gold.

Answer 7

No.  That was watching the Aussies and NZ choke in the rugby world cup.  Aaah, happy days.

Answer 8

at least they are there and will have a go that is all you can ask  

Answer 9

Um, no.  You Aussies have a chance, albeit slight, but still a chance.
