Err ... not quite! Anyway, the EPL kicks off Saturday morning 17th August at 5.00am (Man Utd vs Fulham) So can any team put a stop to Man City's dominance? City have won the last 4 titles along with 6 of the last 7 EPL titles

The Sharks leading 7-3 against Japan We can't move from 2nd place in our group but the other group could see a change in order of the top 4, depending on who wins against who Think I'm right in saying we could end up playing any 1 of 4 opponents (Italy, Croatia, USA or Greece) ... again, depending on the results in the last round of games And any of the 4 opponents will be hard to beat but also, all are beatable if the Sharks continue to bring their A game

We're running out of teams, TD! Men's & Women's Water Polo, Men's & Women's Basketball and the Women's Beach Volleyball are our remaining 5 chances I'd say our best chance are the Stingers and then maybe the Women's Beach Volleyball or the Opals* The Boomers can reach the S/F's but it gets tough from there whilst if the Sharks can continue their great form, they may snag a medal *If the Opals win their Q/F match their likely SF opponent will be the USA

Hockeyroos disappointing but we had our chances (5 short corners in a row led to zero conversions) In my view, the better team won as we were well short of our best. And China played very well (especially their press and defence) The curse of the knockout QF's continues Anyway, at least 5 chances to medal tonight Noèmie Fox, Tim Anderson & Tristan Carter in the Canoe Slalom Kayak Cross have all advanced to the QF's Kurtis Marschall in the Men's Pole Vault has a good chance to medal Jack Robinson in the Men's Surfing can win his SF and Rose Davies is an outside chance in the 5000m Final The Sharks play Japan in their final group match but I'm not sure we can move from 2nd place anyway (based on head-to-head)

The Hockeyroos finally get it back to 2-3 but we haven't handled China's press very well at all One quarter to save our Olympic campaign

Yes, the medals keep coming but in terms of the Gold medals, they will be tough to attain from here on in. Sailing & Track Cycling might deliver a couple and maybe a few more elsewhere in the other sports (Canoe Slalom Kayak Cross tonight for the Women's & Men's?) But there's usually a couple of surprise Gold medals and we may well end up challenging the 17 Gold we attained in Athens & Sydney But to win a medal of any colour is quite the achievement and we only have to look at the joy on the athletes faces when they win a Silver or Bronze (any Nation) It would be nice to be able to say to anyone that you've won an Olympic Medal!! So well done to all our medallists overnight. Kudos!

I thought that might have been a factor but couldn't see it within the rules of how the teams advance Makes sense too as we did beat them in the group matches. So I stand corrected!! (you are the guru of all things Olympics, TD!) But again, avoiding the USA & Spain in the Q/F's was paramount and if we get past the Q/F we'll still have to beat the best to win big anyway. But the first assignment is France, Greece or Italy and that won't be easy The Men's Water Polo team has a chance to finish outright 2nd if we can defeat Japan but regardless, our QF opponent will be a tough assignment

I'm not sure whether we have topped the group as the Netherlands can draw level on points if they beat Canada ... and their goal difference shades ours as well? (or will do if they win) Regardless, we're in a strong position to advance past the Q/F's as we've avoided the 2 strong teams in the other group (for now)

We go to penalties in the Women's Water Polo which means we can't finish worse than 2nd in our group and thus, avoiding powerhouse's Spain & the USA in the Q/F's Edit: And we win on penalties! Avoiding finishing 3rd was the main goal and the Water Polo Women are playing really well. Alice Williams had a night out and Gabby Palm was fantastic in goal

Just has a look at the USA's team in the Basketball. On paper, they look unbeatable! Curry, James, Adebayo, Booker, Davis, Durant, Edwards, Embiid, Haiburton, Holiday, Taturn & White Good luck!

Yes, and as you would be aware, TD, the Kookaburras match against the Dutch is a Q/F. So it's sudden death as are most of the team sports from here on in And 8 of our teams are still alive albeit just hanging on in the Men's & Women's Beach Volleyball. But both teams can rally Boomers ended up finishing 2nd in their group which lands us against Serbia in a Q/F. We avoided the USA (for now) Sharks have been very good and have been the real surprise packet whilst the Hockeyroos have been excellent from an overall point of view. Opals & Stingers are a real show

Caitlin Parker wins her Q/F bout on points after dominating the fight Now into the S/F's, Caitlin is assued of a medal and is up against a Chinese opponent who will be hard to beat. But Parker is a real show on current form

n.b At 1.00am tomorrow (Monday) Australia'a Artacho del Solar & Taliqua Clancy are in action in a round of 16 match against Brazil in the Women's Beach Volleyball Also, Novak Djokovic & Carlos Alcaraz face off in the Men's Singles Gold Medal match following the Women's Doubles Gold Medal Match (so sometime after 9.15pm) Other Medal chances tonight Grace Brown in the Cycling Road Race. Won the time-trial so could be a factor in the Road Race. Aussies Ruby Roseman-Gannon & Lauretta Hanson are also a chance Jason Day in the Golf but he might have to shoot at least a 65 in the 4th round. Calm conditions should see low scoring Shayna Jack & Meg Harris in the 50m Freestyle Both the Men's & Women's 4 x 100m Medley Relay's Caitlin Parker in a Q/F of the 75kg Boxing (winner is guaranteed a Bronze medal) n.b. Caitlin's bout is on at 7.48pm AEST Eleanor Patterson & Nicola Olylagers in the Women's High Jump We may well have 1 or 2 more chances at a medal given the myriad of other sports all happening on the same day For a daily run down of the Australian Olympic representation go to www.thedailyaus.com.au

The NFL season can't come around quickly enough! haha In fact, we've already had a hall-of-fame match (Texans 17 Bears 21) Many of the starters didn't feature including Caleb Williams But the pre-season games start next Friday 9am (AEST)

A great win indeed. Our Men's Water Polo team is playing extremely well 3 big wins against quality opposition so it can't be put down as a fluke. The sport is professional in the Eastern European countries so we're punching above our weight But it will get harder from here as our quarter final opposition will be a decent team. Still, all you can do is win against who is next up. Kudos!
