Blitz bitz and some WC and Asia Cup stuff

FRANCE tonight produced a 46-29 second half to claim its second FIBA World Cup Bronze Medal while denying Australia its first 67-59 in a sad end to what had been an absorbing and exciting Boomers campaign in China.
WC: There's still a Bronze Medal to win

WC: Oh brother! Boomers done in double O/T

WC: Our chance to rain on Spain
REDEMPTION? What is there for our outstanding Boomers to redeem at this FIBA World Cup in China? Beating Spain in tomorrow night's semi final would not mean "Rio Redemption" as many are claiming. It would mean a guaranteed first-ever medal and the Gold Medal playoff.
WC: Revisiting Lemanis' golden plan
BOOMERS coach Andrej Lemanis had a long-term plan which now is paying off with Australia two wins away from achieving what previously was seen as "impossible" and winning a FIBA World Cup Gold Medal.
WC: Czech-mate as Boomers make history
THE job isn't yet complete but put the champagne on ice in anticipation, the Boomers tonight advancing to the FIBA World Cup semi finals for the first time to already equal Australia's greatest performance at an international event.
