00:00:00 Intro
00:08:14 1st quarter
00:27:11 2nd quarter
01:02:47 3rd quarter
01:25:52 4th quarter
Had great passes passes straight to the basket easy to lay up and she was incredible even though scoring wasn’t high on her list yeah it was a I thought it was really almost a blessing in disguise that jul alamon and Carol lykins didn’t play because we got to see
Some of the other players uh that are going to be helping out Belgium this year for the rest of this year if they make it to the Olympics yeah and also down the road yeah Max well Lua 17 points wasn’t afraid of the bright light stepped up the Young Buck
Please remain standing I want to hear you singing as loud as possible the national anthem of Belgium The [Applause] listen to that national anthem rashed messan and Belgium well their moment has arrived here tonight uh to get right back to the Olympics where they played in Tokyo and uh this a team that just seems to be moving from strength to strength they proved it last night they
Gave the USA their hardest game probably in I don’t know 28 years well since 1998 and Martin fetz The Crew Chief from Croatia in the middle Wasim husseini from can on the right and Yasmin alcar from Spain on on the left so a big moment for alar making her debut in the
Feeble women Olympic qualified tournament tonight and what can we say about that man right there he uh had his team really playing well for three quarters Umar uh Sierra Dillard Muna di maed D didn’t play last night in the starting lineup now and Yim di who had that great
Second quarter and trior Jang andal Khan who we were really impressed bya uh p and Dian coming off the bench for Alberto antuna Le who is again he was the coach of Uganda at the fber women’s afrobasket in Rwanda last summer and now he has taken over for of
Sagol yeah and I think they did really well here’s the starting lineup for belum yeah so Antonio delar who I thought really played well yesterday Emma mesman always plays well Betty manunga played really hard uh Julie van L terrific Julie alaman didn’t play last night she was rested with a knee problem
Uh ramed ront kon’s gof Massie Lisa mbaka and yor is coming off the bench Lisa was just unreal she was so good last night for rashed messian the head coach and he’ll be hoping for more this the same tonight yeah and I think uh where senagal need to make sure they
Lock up is playing good tough defense but just giving one hard shot to Belgium and then crash the boards do not let them get second opportunities because this Belgian team is very good at the offensive end but they’re so you know crafty they’re well coached they execute
Their plays um I really enjoy this Belgian team and they have that six-man right there is the fans the people in the building they’ve come out two nights in a row to support their Belgium cats so one minute before the tip and it really is a celebration for the Belgium women they
Hosted a feeble women’s Olympic qualifying tournament last time as well in ostend and they got it done there now they’ve come north to anour and maybe they’ll host another one in another four years yeah I mean this is a big upand cominging building women’s basketball you can see they loved it they
Absolutely turned out 3,000 uh excuse me 13,000 let me get the 700 700 let me put some respect on these fans uh that was last night it was rocking in here they definitely helped this Belgium team push forward and unfortunately took that loss A 179 and really you know we talked about it them holding on and and playing a perfect game for 39 and a half or all the way down to that last Split Second of Stewart hits it in so I just don’t think there was anything else they could have done they could
Have made some free throws they could have hit one of those two three-pointers on their you know their final couple of possessions but at the end of the day I mean they were just outstanding and you got to credit the USA for playing all 40 minutes where senagal I just don’t know
Where they’ll get their scoring from KH very good actually 11 points had some rasle as you would say could have really finished and then Sierra dard she for me she ended up with 16 points but I think she wasn’t really looking to score she’s their biggest threat also had that five
Rebounds and seven assists so did a little bit of everything and then Yin jum was 23 points Jeff she had 21 at half and then only scored two points in that second half she dried up uh pretty you know disappointing in that second half where she started so [Applause]
Well well the fans have definitely turned out here in onp and uh no surprise I remember being here for the basketball champions league in year number three of that competition several years ago 20 2019 and they they turned out then as well I mean it they love the
Basketball here in this country and they have got some kind of women’s team to support that’s for [Applause] sure good evening everybody and welcome to anwp here in Belgium the feeble women’s Olympic qualifying tournament is well underway and Betty Mana car’s a three for Belgium she struggled with foul trouble
Yesterday it’s come out strong puts Belgium on the [Applause] board cagal cannot afford any type of slow start against Belgium they need to come out strong early D comes right out and now mimon picks it up in the open floor look at alamon get it over to vano you cannot
Count that that one rimmed out well no doubt she’ll be at the top of their Scout in this Jeff you can’t leave a new open like [Applause] that M gets the start and makes the three-pointer inspired decision by the coach yeah camping out in that corner it’s the
Three and remember Roberto Carlo santuna Leal still kind of perhaps getting used to his team and he says why not look at that beautiful bounce pass delar too easy and this is where Belgium are just Elite really just picked apart sagal’s defense is hanging off Emma Yara turns on the
Baseline nowhere to go time Runs Out tough defense for Belgium also they lovely assist on the offensive end now a 24 second shot clock [Applause] violation mesman makes another jumper is she serious it’s like she doesn’t know that MMS is an MVP at multiple levels and you’re going to
Leave her wide open put some respect on her name and Defender here’s Dillard see if she can turn it to a higher gear didn’t see it last tonight after the first half alamon quickly to delar what a finish I’ll tell you why Antonio delar has really turned
It up this in this tournament really really lovely job from her to the races here she goes beautiful pass takes a long striding steps takes the hit as well and one go to the line for [Applause] one boys girls men women young and old all here tearing on the cats tonight against
Sagol one of the top teams from Africa and already the cats well on top look at this pass from Adam on make the easy play great behind the back no doubt that will be a highlight top 10 Play Beautiful pass they you know they play in many respects like they’re in an
All-Star game making the types of passes they do and they fouled by Alamar well I just think you know Belgium been together for a really long time here’s the foul coming over they’ve been together they really know each other very well Jeff I just think this Belgium team are all on the
Same page they work hard they look for each other they want each other to do well and be successful and you really see that in their style of play and that’s really the reason why they could hang with USA last night for 40 [Applause] [Applause] minutes just one of two now van low high octane Julie van low over to delar look at that pass to monoga vano open high arcing three and it’s it’s off to the [Applause] [Applause] right [Applause] Now the crowd is happy you’re happy and you know it Cappy hands and they’re definitely clapping their hands cats have come out hot 12 to 4 Sor to D MAA D Dillard get a little space now the ball knocked away V and she’s fouled was angry she wanted the foul way earlier look death sted the referee here she is look at that stare down the referee was all over it don’t worry m [Applause]
Manunga another three for her she says Hey I want to jump into the spotlight tonight with my offense I’ve got that as well two threes for her six points so the task at hand for sagol is immense they came in needing to win by eight to qualify for the
Olympics and right now they Trail by 11 so they’ve got to make up 19 points quickly and alaman lays it open in well that knee look just fine to me so much so they put the pressure they’ve broken out of the gates and senagal going to
Have to call a timeout to stop the bleeding Alberto Carlos Anton Le calls timeout for Sagal I don’t care about the two three but stupid who who is going to the rebound who are going to the rebound you are not going to the rebound you are not
Working for the bance safety one Z one Z One Z One Z yes you’re not even matching their physicality you’re playing s play hard I don’t care about the res but play hard set with the screen let’s see if they call any offensive fall in on screen in a Re Fair one let’s see if we do it let’s see if we do it not like before fast to to the same side and the hand at the same Time well pretty hot under the collar and it’s the same thing that we’ve talked about earlier with Nigeria you know you want to see the intensity and the effort and the physicality there are certain areas of the game where you simply cannot be poor yeah and uh to have any type of chance
And they got that message but look the scores already 17 to4 real quick and Coach just called that timeout laid into them and just said hey let’s set good screens let’s rebound the ball let’s play tough Quick Pass D oh boy she had that shot if she wanted she gets it to Yasin
D and she knocks it down the second three-pointer from that left corner for cagal that’s she was hot from the three-point line yesterday Mesman and now three and low missing again but manunga with the rebound pass to delar mman gets blocked and there’s the physicality the message that LE was looking for and the whistle blows in two free throws good Push by look here takes a step nice spin cycle and gets the hit Ando coming
[Applause] Out Lis Max Lisa comes in and a as well inter game for Matilda di Miss up for me real MVP of Belgium yesterday 17 points just really showing she’s a young upand Coming Star 22 years old wasn’t afraid of the moment she played hard that’s for sure
She did Little full C press by [Applause] Cal Betty manonga goes in scores with the left hand there you have it Mona he’s got some Pace on Earth can also shoot the three she’s shown us thear knocks it into the back court D picks it up L time to work with now for
Sagol Jing D from the right Baseline she been clutched for senal knows how to score like I said she 21 in the first half mman left wide open and that’s a long two go Jeff they’re going have make me have a heart attack just leaving the best player in Europe I’m
Speak the is just sacking all the way off of Emma mess she’s going to hit that every time will it be a third three from that left corner no will not L to alaman now pass manunga for three and finally misses and now Dillard in the open floor let’s see what she can
Do she goes down hoping the whistle is going to blow it does not and then Manoa throws it right into the hands of Dillard well then senago not giving up on that play [Applause] [Applause] alamon that’s off see if sagol can knock down another one get a little bit [Applause] closer well they kind of put the breaks on Belgium just a little bit even though they left uh M open for that jumper J’s coming coming in and also Khan the player that we were both so impressed by y d goes out yeah she did a good job KH didn’t she real long and lean some nice moves had 11 points there she is with the ball now she’s got the ball she’s
A exciting player she said I’m coming off the Ben and I’m shooting it coach she’s not messing around she puts it up quickly [Applause] oh um delar fell over oh look at that some dribbling and then trii a trii not able to convert but they’ll keep
Possession s wants a foul that was a beautiful spin move by F Ry s is 40 years old been in the game for a very long time a true F number six resal coming into the game for delar who she made a three you might remember last
Night was foul on the play but she came down Awkward on her foot yeah she’s changed her sneakers today I see they’re still red but they’re a different pair with that quick move here is mesman chasing it down vanl back to mesman it off doesn’t put up a bad shot
Massie in the game as well M back to Massie vanl still won’t [Applause] [Applause] go SAR going up against the veteran excuse me this one going up against the veteran star D just grazes the net nothing but elette so they’ll get the ball back so Dillard is going to sit down needs to play Big minutes needs to score she needs to rest up here and get
Back in the game quickly oh beautiful pass van L and Massie with the rebound fouled by [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] SAR comes in for SAR and low to Massie a count off her feet but didn’t jump in didn’t go for the shot here’s maxwella this Belgium have cooled off a little bit here well after that timeout the center go really laid into them they’ve stepped up offer moving screen sends ront tumbling to the Hardwood coach can’t be mad cuz in that timeout he said hey let’s set some hard screens well there’s one for you go g comes into the game so mman takes a Seat P gets the Baseline passes back into lisaah oh and look at the tapping by gal look at the smile on her face he she knows it didn’t give up on that play tips it back in fantastic job by here that’s a big bucket because uh the
Momentum was with cagal now they hit another one de so it’s not quite as straightforward as it was looking early on for Belgium Massie H just a little too long andion looks at Massi I think is just to say you got to know how much time is on
The clock but gof getting uh involved it’s Belgium leading at 23 to 15 over Sagal at the end of One well there’s the first quarter stats it was all Belgium came out of the gates hot 62% from two two from seven most of those have van L threes and two for three for senagal kind of chi them away back into the game and uh way for senagal just to
Settle the nerves and the ship here’s the first quarter best place well mana’s involved in some of them she’s hit a couple of Threes including this One yeah she has eight points leading all the scores that’s some man showing her passing skills she has it all but the thing is what I’m worried about with senagal is I would love to know their Scout on M mment look at this there’s no defense
Even in the shop where are you cynical you cannot let a player like Emma get momentum Get Rhythm feel good see the ball go through the hoop look at that that’s the most beautiful play of the first quarter the over the shoulder pass that’s a highlight for sure and
This was mana’s second three-pointer so yeah a little I mean you know it’s a second game in a row for for Belgium so van L hasn’t hasn’t been making her shots she’s had some that have looked like they’ve gone in and come out yeah she going the way it is this what as
Well you know she couldn’t miss last night and then she comes in and misses this but the tap was there from gild off perhaps uh learning a little bit of that last night from Stewart so cor side 1891 scan in the barcode to get it into your smartphone for video stream schedule
Scores and more great atmosphere inside the Sport Palace where so many great sporting events have been held over the years And this women’s uh Team here in Belgium has captured the imagination of basketball fans Not Just in this country no but all over Europe here Sila taking a while for the play to develop tror gets it has it knocked away active hands for Belgium s puts it up
And good job Deion getting the rebound get 65 she can Sky look at this she drifts in And there’s a trip to the line Khan he’s quite got a got a quite a thin frame I me gildo does as well but look at uh KH she’s 62 24 years old but she can she can go can’t she yeah mhm if I’m showing up at the court and he was like
Okay you could pick your team you’re picking her I’m picking her like that I would twoo to be long lean athletic can get to the rim shoot the little jump shot the free throw looks pretty that’s definitely long not mad about that pck sagales fighting machine
Yeah and a little full press slow down Belgium so they cut it to six points and look at this trior getting the steal from Van L at leads to KH who gets the layup and Sagal showing signs of life I mean this thing looked like it was going
To be over before it started and now Sagal are making life miserable in that press really bothering Belgium and this is where we saw them do well here the foul comes through I see but we saw um we saw Seno do well against Nigeria this is how they got up
On their lead they was their lead was as high as nine and really I know Nigeria as this defense but they’ve come up with the same energy and intensity on the defensive there lwa open and doesn’t get it to go oh boy that is a frustrating turnover for
Sagal oh that’s you’re playing great yeah turn you can’t afford alamon coming back in delar as well lwa and Rong go out and the thing is with Belgium they really didn’t have any negative spells of play against the USA and to Aspire to be the best
Team team in the world they have to be able to play exceptionally well as they did last night here’s van L and finally gets it to go that makes a big difference to be able to hit jump shots well I told you she was shoot she’s
Missed her first B and then just comes up and knocks it down but you’re right USA made runs at Belgium but they stayed in the game they made their own run back it was incredible if you haven’t seen that game I suest you definitely go back and watch it can that was a
Collision wow KH is she is really going full speed ahead with her drives and that’s a good call Con getting [Applause] fouled [Applause] Sila alaman with the rebound they want to run vanalo gets to the middle gets with the Massie how about that fast break [Applause] [Applause] wow Khan hands it off to Deon Khan pull the Spring Pulling the [Applause] strings look at that reaching out the length the quickness the awareness can she Palm it look at that okay so mesman checks back into the game gof goes out seven points Advantage delar for three and good hustle from
[Applause] mesman Massie keeps it and turns it Over here’s Michelle P checking in a former Belgium International Hanah messag doing commentary beside us for Belgium TV for femish TV she played when all this greatness started with her sister and her dad was the coacher a spin move and kind is just getting it done and
I’ll tell you what she needs to come off the bench because she’s been outstanding lar passes up the three Adam on back to messman and miman it feels like they pass up shots but they’re also making Sagal Defense work yeah very hard swinging the ball multiple actions keeping the floor [Applause] [Applause] spread [Applause] con look at the pass oh that was the right play she just didn’t catch it and that’s exactly what the coach is asking P it was right on the money time that was a a laser pass so it’s back to an eight-point lead
And again that means they’ve got to make up 16 points in the difference in the goal if they’re going to not just win but win by eight to qualify Belgium they just need to win tonight to [Applause] qualify B oh looks good it is looks so good we have a perfect angle
On that shot got a be set her her shots are so high I’m surprised she’s not scraping the roof of the Sport Palace they sure do KH for three oh man she is worth the price of admission she is fun to watch we spoke about there at the
Top she had 11 points in already she’s got [Applause] nine here’s messan and burries It get stops and starting to see some tired legs some some of these senal Lees and I’m guessing the coach has to make a decision at some point they get the turnover alaman and boy what a play by KH to block it incredible Jeff wow she knock in she hasn’t gotten up and
They’re going to have to go check on her she really clattered into the LED board wow what an extraordinary effort on defense I mean of everything that she’s done that was needed some assistance look at this again yeah you just don’t do this to alamon and and then she just hit you can
See a Grimace just slow mo she has to come out though because the uh staff the physio staff have come out to attend her so you must sub y sit her down and get her right back in I mean there’s Absol absolutely no way that she should sit down from more
Than 2.5 seconds a couple of plays cuz she’s playing well Inc right don’t you think she should go right back in yeah she’s scoring but they’re just going to make sure check that she’s okay but that was tremendous effort on the defense to get back and block that shot Silla in the
Game Dillard a good defense from man look at the hustle from alaman but then Dillard beats her to the ball P pulls up and messan the outlet look like she might have been hitting the Head Oh pass to delar gets her own rebound passes it again over messman who founder stroke tonight and you know why because right at the beginning they had a wide open she seen the ball go through the basket you know struggled yesterday with a shot but not today 11 points de answers Quickly yes she’s definitely been clutch for Cal got n points bounce pass manonga such Poise I love it those two play really well manonga and mesim mesum just constantly has her eyes on her he always has that back door that Baseline cut we’ve seen it most of the time timeout is Called okay the timeout has indeed been called let’s listen it hey yeah they rebounding even better than Nigeria not possible and then one team foul fou fou F they are driving boom s make them play five on five now F open low pitching back you go for side for
Side hand off and this screen is coming from this side and the here and the other one here is important this three minutes this important be 10 12 10 12 use three F use three FS A good point he wants to use up to fouls giving away some layups put them on the line 40 to 28 20 12 point lead for Belgium so 20 point aggregate def deficit basically is what they’re facing right now it’s a lot Sagal it’s a lot but I don’t think they concentrate on
That right now I think what they do is they’ve had a better second quarter for me been more aggressive on the defensive then not giving up on plays and so can’t can uh hit that block the shot just a bit a better cental team and that’s who
You can can be right now KH remains out of the [Applause] game Dillard walks right into that doesn’t she look like feba women’s afrobasket version of Dillard on that shot it’s a good sign for senagal then low another high arcing one and this time does not fall [Applause]
Through up again from the left corner that’s good CAG messian decides to call timeout messan is not happy and no doubt at the top of their scouting list is that three-point shooter y we listen in for the timeout we have to look we have to look look only for the shot [Applause] okay
[Applause] [Applause] For Up [Applause] Well it feels like we’ve seen progress tonight from Sagal I don’t know how you feel about it but whereas when watching Nigeria felt like felt like they took a step back and I don’t know if that’s fair to make that comparison but I don’t know about that
Well they were playing USA which is difficult yeah but Belgium almost beat him last night I mean it’s not like it’s you know and they’re playing at home as well and Sagal seem to be rising to Vacation certainly the second quarter for Sagal has been good on both
Nights it’s a great point the energy after that timeout but I think part of it is is you know the coach is getting to know his team still and we spoke to him actually didn’t we on a on a practice thing he said he’s only been
With the with the ladies for three s days three four days that’s really tough Mana pass it around mesman didn’t catch it clean and now taken away by Dillard and dard takes it in [Applause] deep and the foul on L and it ever since he had the timeout
Where he talked about the need to be more physical I think it’s really this is what we’ve seen more from Sagal now so that’s [Applause] helped see jum to the corner to ple turn Around until the d getting off the [Applause] [Applause] bench mman wide open you know I love about that play Jeff is that they P the play and they executed it down to the te with the seconds running down they got who they wanted wide open and she knocks the shot down Love the That offense for Bel and L not happy but I think she put both hands look let’s have a look P it on the floor a good angle for us to see get the Lu of seeing the replay that’s little frustrated obviously a lot more pressure on this man triy to turn around this [Applause] deficit here’s Dillard and she’s doubled able to get rid of it shoot it y has to go and s wasn’t ready he’s got to know the situation she’s got to be able to see the clock and get it up and I think right there those two
Possessions that one of senagal and that last one of Belgium shows you the difference in execution you know Belgium knew exactly what they wanted they knew exactly what time was on the board and then senagal comes back down and turns over the ball dangerous pass final minute of the first [Applause] half and boy the ball that was an opportunity for cagal they didn’t see the loose ball they end up getting the rebound on the Miss shot anyway like mman hit the side of the backboard now she comes up with the Ste herself and they get it to manonga and
Oh Mana misses the layup another bullet Dodge by Sagal 3se second differential on the game clock and shot clock three and 3 point7 seconds in fact I think he’s I think coach has seen some good stuff tonight yeah you know his team his team’s down nine they’re fighting they’re getting used to
Him and the reality is they’re playing for their Olympic lives now I mean they want to get to the Olympics and they they need to win this game by eight here’s Diller she wants to take it all the way down about 7even she’s going to launch
It and maybe she took it too soon because alaman has it and Dillard very alertly steps in front of her to make sure she couldn’t get any closer closer so that is the end of the first half Belgium on top 42-33 against Cal and let’s look at some shooting
Numbers Bia well much better second quarter by syo in my opinion 67% three-point line being kind to them also getting to the free throw line 83% and 65% for B Belgium the rebounds tied across both teams assists but Belgium doing that very well and the reason why they’re up
4233 messman 13 points for me being left wide open can get into River and then also Yasin J is doing very well and leading scores here’s the second quarter best play indeed and look at Khan and really look at this graceful I you know she she had the
Injury so she had to go out but then she thought she was gonna be able to stay in and then she didn’t come back into the game I would have I would have put her back in yep and vanl doing what vanl does best look at this High
Aring rainbow splash and they like it and they got their sign ready love that yeah the van low fan club but overall I just think the execution Belgium has been high level and really got them out to that first quarter start which was just you know we were a
Little bit worried there that first quarter they put up 23 points Jeff and senagal managed to weather the stor and actually won and no excuse me they lost the second quarter look at Khan here oh yeah that was a nice move wasn’t it um the second quarter though Belgium
Won 19 to 18 so Cent gold did a much better job in that second quarter yeah I guess the problem is they’ve dug themselves in early hole but they can uh you never know how this thing is going to work out so this is another three from
Vano sorry Jeff I just think you look at this the the score now don’t add on that eight you know I just think away one play at a time and don’t get too overwhelmed as sagal’s flag flies high and here’s look all of maman’s shots have just been wide open able to
Get in rivm and splashes at home nothing but net so clutch Education Health Justice we sometimes take these simple things for granted they’re not common for all of us we are all born on the same Planet but not with the same opportunities whatever our gender color
Belief or capability we are one we are all on the same team let’s convince those who never thought they would do it that they can we can together we are stronger no matter your origin basetball can bring everyone together together basketball for good feeling it five to shoot deep three [Applause]
Indeed what a game it is and has been great pass to Monga spinning around gonz and getting her first bucket in French colors wow pretty nice move for an 18-year-old a little Spin and step Back get back to Van closely by sheaks it in the deposit Thurs night the bank is open looking for the foul really could see [Applause] it l just came up with the block finds sa five to to Sab at the foul line looking to draw a foul she banked it in
Anyway and that’s something about satu Sab she’s never going to give up beautiful pass M with it that doesn’t have to be the scoring it could be the pass that leads to the basket and M connects with manonga to take it up to getting CR need some touches see if
She gets some eer on this POS another block there by satell going to stay here with [Applause] 7 juder uses the screen by Kid Sami Hill moving her feet though oh good defense but even better offense nice little step through scoop Lup by Agnes stter again that’s what we were talking about early
On even late in the clock they are positive and get shots they want want to take a couple of jab steps now attacking rejected by magore she swallowed that basketball and lean just goes for the surface pass to Young Lee way what a St for CH on the time out [Applause]
Get it to PL he gets free she puts it up and oh are they going to count it has he made it they’re going to review it they will go and review this if they have won on that play that will be a stunner from Brian Stewart [Applause] to be K
Unbelievable that is unbelievable these guys will be Legends in their own country but also in the international basketball well [Applause] forever Leading the way for synagog Yassin Diop 12 points we were saying the same thing last night she had I think 21 at halftime and she’s got 12 tonight so she certainly has some good spells of play in this feea women’s Olympic qualifying tournament in nwor yeah five from seven
From the floor she has she was great yesterday 21 points she was Unstoppable from the three-point line so we’re going to need a bit more of that M staying in this second half because your team needs you she’s really she can create her own shot she you know comes
Gets the pass look at that just lines one up do a a bit of everything really bit like you Jeff do a bit of everything can’t you well do my best do some cleaning some cooking some working and msman tonight has led the way for her cats team with
13 points last night she was the distributor the the rebounder the defender and tonight she’s so far leading the scoring and I I just think how dare you in my opinion of senagal do not disrespect Emma messman you’re leaving her wide open all of her shots pretty much just
Having loads of time no stress on her no hand in her face and disabl to get a bucket at will a good job from her where yesterday we saw her struggle but did it from the assists and the rebounds today really got herself going offensively so the crowd being treated
To another fun night of basketball here I mean I guess last night was uh all kinds of weird emotions fun emotions uh nervous emotions yeah tonight it’s a different kind and it’s DJ’s going I think people feel like Belgium are going to win this game and
Uh but maybe it hasn’t been quite as straightforward as they would have hoped they maybe would have liked to have already put this thing away by halftime but you got to respect Sagal you know they’re B one of the top teams from Africa and again it feels like they’ve
Kind of taken a step forward tonight yeah and I think um it’s exactly how I thought the game was going to go in my opinion you know senagal is so they’re Scrappy they don’t you know give up on plays they’re long they’re lean they’re fighting they’re flying in for rebounds
And uh and I I knew that belum would just have to control this game for 40 minutes execute when they have when they’ve uh you know drawn up their plays they’ve taken their time and they’ve done a good job 42 33 they’re right where they want to be there’s noic guess
It’s unrealistic to think that Sagal defensively could come out and Harang Belgium no maybe maybe on one or two possess possessions but Overall I mean they’ve got to disrupt them somehow if they’re going to get back into the game well I like that fullt press they had a couple turnovers from that so I think they go into that and I even saw coach you know signal for the full court press and they took it
Off on the court so maybe they go back to that got some nice turnovers Force Belgium yeah I guess it depends which players he’s got on the court we haven’t seen uh the the veteran guard Dan come out maybe she’ll play some but well they got to
Score they got to get rebounds I don’t see um k out here warming up at half time so hopefully she’s okay cuz she was she was very good in the first half she’s not out in warm ups Sila’s just coming out now so I’m assuming she’s going to be coming out
Shortly yeah KH had the nine points in that and she had that huge block on Alon and then just uh you know got hurt by the LED lights couldn’t put the brakes on quick enough but Sagal Sagal need to win this thing by eight points to get to
The Olympics Belgium if they win they will get to the Olympics and the pressure will be off and there’ll be a a basketball party in ANP much like it was when they played in ostend uh before the Tokyo games a little bit of Belgian luau well the way Belgian played last
Night was incredible Jeff and if I’m around the world the other teams looking at that game giving USA a run for their money and really having them on the ropes down 13 I don’t want to I don’t even want Belgium in my group or crossing over with them and they were missing
Obviously Alman is back today was out yesterday and Lin skins those are big huge play players you can see obviously how Alon is playing well today I think uh this this team could I’m going to put it out there could be on the podium but I think that’s yeah without
Question you know I think uh Japan losing today kind of brought them back down to earth real quick to that really surprised me that they would lose to Hungary but maybe it just goes to show how well they played against Spain maybe they played had a great game but it’s funny
As you see World basketball in different nations different countries play different style of basketball the Japanese is 0 to 100 they love to shoot the three they’re out of the blocks they’re racing and you know Spanish basketball not so much and they didn’t control that Tempo Hungary is in Chron
They had their home crowd was feeling good their tough their nitty group here the African nations you know real long lean diving in USA obviously like to get out in transition Belgium IQ out of the gym so every country every nation has their style and you come up to different
Styles why are you laughing at me that’s the first time I’ve ever heard they’ve got an IQ that’s out of the gym are you trying to say they’re like jumping out of the gym oh also they look like they’re wrestled by those tap but I’m saying their IQ is just going in well
Kind of just intervene and say Courtside 1891 scan in the barcode so you can get that in your smart phone for all the great international basketball video streaming schedule scores download it on the Apple Store Google Play and they’re going to need that app for tomorrow
Because we have a day off here in Belgium but there’s some great games happening in China in Brazil and Hungary yeah so lots of lots of good action everywhere to watch we’ve uh taken some moments tonight to watch some of the games that were being played in
Hungary where Canada lost a really tough game Thriller to Spain and Hungary I guess you’d have to say upset Japan tonight it was the USA rolling to a huge win over uh Nigeria here and I’m twerk and I think you owe me a sweet treat cuz
I told you that they were going to make 100 and I told you the exact player cheesecake will that be good enough for you yeah what what’s Belgium famous for I want I want a bit of that look at that hair that looks gorgeous those wins Possibly okay Khan is back in the game we were underway in the third quarter so KH did come out anding on they need to start fast Mana has it knocked away good start for Sagal how quickly can Khan get in the flow well she’s got the ball in her
Hands oh she turns right into delar turns it over Dillard saved it in bounds got numbers flew into the crowd comes back there she is again o and messman this time misses and alamon because the ball I don’t think hit the rim Rush the shot up and now di
Pulls up and hits it boy that’s a big sequence I really like her ability to score the ball in multiple ways and S just comes down and slaps him mess C foul going [Applause] Anywhere mmen CMS the nerves from the [Applause] crowd smoothly does it nice quick and roll sequence shouts out screams out Defense Forces the turnover and look at sard get on the hardwood to get it right back only to be tied up by mesman so the jump off possession there favors Bel
Favors synagog this are 40 years old sacrificing the body and this was still and the throw back in and she out bounds sacrificing her body as well and the crowd stop her that’s a great job Again delar runs goes behind the back oh has it knocked away SAR has it they’re definitely causing some problems with their defense quick hands reaction KH fouled good start here first two minutes sen go come out with some Pace some urgency giving Belgium some problems Now they’re going to come up and try to take the ball away from di but she dribbles out of trouble Zar has it fumbled she’s got a Hurry look at manonga battling away diara wins that battle Mana she usually does yeah that was a great Bo out from him alaman passes to meso like they passed up a better shot for a bad [Applause] shot misses the handoff to Alaman and back to Mamon that’s more like it there it is Van knew exactly where her teammate is look couple tired bodies going on right [Applause] now Val draws the [Applause] charge she’s under Di’s chin here look and just kind of baited her into that little push
And then sold it great Grammy Award winning flop off the hit it’s the right call Grammy or Oscar osar sorry singing dancing whatever acting some type of award yeah sorry some gold yeah there we go that’s what I’m looking for oh and Boy again they take it away
Belgium being a little careless now they get it back Alaman [Applause] manonga double happens he’s got to be open Ty puts it up and in still police fans in the crowd watching fi the de up coming back into the game and offensive foul on manunga setting the screen before she rolled to the basket game really like the energy that Seno
Have come out with rett’s going to come into the game haven’t seen her tonight y taking a seat she has been playing hard but it’s still a nine-point lead for [Applause] Belgium [Applause] Dillard in the paint those were shots she just did not miss last year yeah and so
Short gar reverse and it doesn’t drop trior boy that would have been a big big shot for [Applause] sagol and some sloppiness in this [Applause] game well still 15 minutes remaining a lot of [Applause] basketball Fielder’s pass deflected to remit bounce pass to mesan and she is fouled going up
By ATI D great two onone easy money in the bank for these two pass right on the money and the hit and one he’s going to have she makes this free throw so this wi is going to come in for delar that was a 20 no oh definitely I mean she’s it’s been
Her points tonight hasn’t go 20 that’s normally like it now adaman comes in steals well that is just a horrible [Applause] turnover P foul that’s the right call she put two hands in the cookie jar you’re not allowed to do that you’re allowed one hand on the offensive player but not too well
Explained aret falls down isaah saves it oh look at the cut from alaman Wow turnning look bad potential turnover into opportunity the crow L that uhoh there she goes KH or she gets down the court quickly and trii gets some love from the rim and back boards good minutes from here four [Applause]
Points mes fouled while putting it up Unstoppable 22 for mesan Elite the Bas has turned up a little bit higher in this good post move here catches it has the defender hanging on it and then a slap down back to the free throw line back to back possession they know who
The hot handed just 10 to 15 from the floor also has six rebounds couple of assists couple of steals doing it all plus 26 efficiency nobody close to that alon’s been great though with nine assists to go with her four points and two Steals and just kind of reminding
Everybody hey I didn’t play last night we played great don’t read anything into that I’m back tonight I’m going to show you what I can do love that so mman will go to 23 points on the [Applause] night well this is definitely KH the player that
Is play PL of eyebrows it’s just a huge mountain to climb right now they’ve got to make up 23 points difference if they want to get to the Olympics tray from the left corner [Applause] the mismatch oh she was UN Sportsman like foul called on Dillard you know what I love about this
Whole possession they knew that Dillard was on Emma there was a mismatch they wait they get her inside they get the ball to her and the only way you’re going to stoer is climbing on her back and yeah that’s exactly the right foul because she does not make a play at the
Basketball it’s a dangerous play 24 points now from mman and looking every bit like she’s going to be 30 plus tonight well she’s scoring so much the the scoreboard in the arena has stopped at 20 oh my go but you need to add a couple more points on there sir
And with that foul Seno is over the limit as well on team fouls so she’s got 26 points even the fans are looking in like doesn’t she have more points than that and now they’ve Switched Off the scoreboard so they’ll have to switch it back on here she is for three she’s got
[Applause] 29 mlan cometh the hour and she is leading Belgium Belgium into the Olympic Games in France well Jeff you know what I’m enjoying About Belgium before we go into this timeout they know who the hot hand is and they keep going in we’re [Applause] Listening drive over over over pass pass pass pass pass Z layups Alan and we are still collapsing with Alan to pass now mes man we say we are close to mes we press the ball we are aggressive with her 30 point there go don’t give up keep
Pushing keep pushing now the first play the first play up H up okay we pass opposite side of ma okay [Applause] I’m not sure if her foot was on the line there because the big scoreboard is off they’ve had to do something with it the live scoring we’ve got her down is 28
Points so well the funny me mystery M mystery mystery hour with the funny thing in that time out as I listened to Alberto coach Alberto he said hey we’re pressing up on mess don’t let her catch it we’re not going to let her score H she’s she’s about to score 30 and now
You want to take the decision to guard her come joking [Applause] me well mman sat down gild off is in the game from met and low Massie priori almost turns it over and they do not get a shot [Applause] off so the part is on in Belgium as I think it’s kind of sunk in they’re headed to France kind of cool
Right that’s a real well when you have 12 teams that go to the oics only 12 teams yeah and you be one of them and you find out in your home nation and there’s a lot of good teams that don’t go yeah Yeah nice pass to Massie good job maxella this one maybe with the Ste and look at her getting after it and now the Ste up RT she’s been resting she’s got that burst to speed doesn’t she does that first step deceptive like a bullet out of a [Applause] gun come on Up yeah it’s the right Co see I just put her arm and her hand and grab her elbow we had a better angle at that replay so good call from the referee F takes a Seat Well raised eyebrows and I’m sure this she’s already known but she’s kind of I think an interesting player yeah people would like to have her here she is 12 points and I think probably the next feeble wom is afrobasket type of player that you might even want to build your
Campaign around I mean they can make it this year still in the ball back she’s 24 yep [Applause] long and look at the hustle from lwa yoris a look at that good job Matilda di reading the pass and going to for the layup up up right through that rare turnover for
Belgium getting her rebound right back oh ra over to gild off oh how about g off tonight we always see her operating around the basket but she’s got a nice little stroke there yeah she does good job from her gets on the board I think that’s her second but she
Had that tap early didn’t she and there’s R she did Four Points she got you’re right RT picks it up up and it’s fouled by Khan Khan’s back on the floor this time gets hit face man this physio crew is having to work overtime today look at this kind of
Is hurt yeah that was definitely that’s that’s a legit uh painful I think yeah Rock chin maybe it might be a time to maybe just have a bit of a rest well remembering last time she went out she didn’t come back in for a while but look she bleeding at the mouth is
She y on the lip there bottom lip pretty hard hit shoulder into a jaw and into her mouth he’ll sit down saw will come back in R makes the first and it is crucial to remember that every single one of these players like RT uh yoris if she makes the team
Whoever they’re going to have to be contributors yeah because even though you know Belgium will make the team you now gunning for your 12th spot look at that she takes it away I mean she’s just feisty and vanl hustling to the basketball passes it back to
Red Quick Pass vanl High aring three the party is on and out ah we love it so keep on shooting until that thing goes in you’ve got to love van love or hater she’s going to keep [Applause] shooting [Applause] fou on yis what was it several years ago 50 people showing up to watch a Belgium women’s basketball game most of them family and friends and now it’s the it’s the it’s the show it’s the show you and the reason why is because they are going to be headed to the
Olympics right now they lead by 28 in this game they just need to win sagol if they wanted to spoil the party needed to win by eight and just looking like too big of a mountaina hasn’t played at all here’s Dillard with the offensive rebound little was tough at the
Afrobasket he’s kind of been lost in the rotation yoris for three they’re going to count it how about that one of the young ones why not he knew exactly how much time was on the clock Let It Go here it is we see yep it’s out of her
Hand plenty of time with the light low style High arcing shot well done the first points of the evening a nice way there’s the end of the third quarter 7344 Belgium on top against Sagal sagal’s made their runs but it’s all Belgium shooting 38% from the three-point line they’re perfect from
The free throw 66% at the two doing very well controlling this and third quarter best plays well job has been fantastic but for me it’s the msman show 28 beautiful points doing it different ways layups three-point shots they’re looking for her they found her early and often she
Was the hot hand and they kept going back to her until she had to hit the bench to cool off look at this nice drive wide open has time to set her feet beautiful AR Splash again yeah I feel you coach you’re upset it’s okay not many people can stop there
And then van L who had several misses at the start of the game yeah she’s three from eight thing is on these Miss threes you often get the long rebounds off as missed you know Long offensive rebounds so well she has that’s called The Ultimate Green Light Jeff yeah when you
Can shoot when you can come down in transition and pull that thing you got the green light do you remember last night she took one really close just beyond mid Court oh yeah yeah yeah she’s not afraid she’s not shy at all anyway but she will sit
Down and Van uh Alman sorry will be back [Applause] in an offensive foul turns it back over to sagol ront also back in the Game Nice back door cut then the pass deflected by Alamar look at that pass to wide open resal from the right corner Rolph gets it back no look yoris Rolph tries to tap it out now Dillard up to [Applause] SAR here’s B slaps down over her arm so they’ll get it Baseline out of
Bounds is sub to come back in Emma M clearly going for 30 and then the Young Buck com in for Belgium CL who’s classens classens yeah 19 years old she’s on the ball she looked good last night here’s SAR that’s pretty we spoke about classes that she’s
Only 19 and she’s the age of how long Diana trassi has been playing with USA here’s yuris and gets blocked right at the end by di D’s pass gets away Massie oh excuse me classin she looks like Massie doesn’t she she does that’s when you were saying that before I was
Like why are you saying that massie’s out there it’s not it’s the 19y old look at this alaman comes up with the steal cassin goes in and it’s fouled well that was sweet of Elmont why not want the little rookie to get a bucket really lovely team Basketball like I said spoke about the 19-year-old and I I really like this about Belgium really giving their young upand coming the Grassroots and she played yesterday actually against USA nice rotation yeah no bum minutes either she came in the game and and really helped Belgium just those couple of
Minutes gets on the board at least she gets a point well that’s the that’s the key to successful national team programs you have to you know have deep squads keep developing youngsters here’s KH high arer from her up rebounds it steps out of bounds no the foul
Called yeah and I think the only way here’s the the push is the only way you learn is actually being put in the game yes you can be around the team and you know know how the culture is of of the national team but actually playing physical minutes is where you really
Learn and and get down and and dirty with your team and know what it takes there’s KH Beautiful Finish she played really well hasn’t she she’s 14 double [Applause] Emma now they decide to do that in the fourth quarter Jeff and she’s gone for
28 get the ball out of her hands make it difficult yep it’s basically what you’re saying is the horse has bolted what does that mean three point shot well what I do know is Al says don’t worry the shot clock is running down the horse is bolted it’s too late to shut
The barn door or the gate the horse is bolted oh it’s okay the cat’s out of the bag okay I know that one I know that one I think that similar there is do denied by the rim class alamon always with her head up look at that look at yis thinking class
Was going back to the corner Mion still wants to see the execution here late in the game with his team cruising towards the [Applause] Olympics he up yes it is 23 knocks it down didn’t play very many minutes she didn’t play at all at all you’re right and today she’s come
Out and’s got eight points I think I think a lot of it has to do with the coach getting to know his Personnel yeah GL the 19yearold this time blocked that’s a great point he hasn’t been with this team very long cuz because also another player that I like
That hasn’t really gotten any run at all is well I’ll tell you in a minute it’s uh got a timeout we’ll go down to the Bench okay yeah so thanks for reminding me we’re not going to listen to the bench at this this time out yeah I think he just needs time to to get to know his personnel and um they had a they had a good run to the final under the under his under the
Previous coach and even though Alberto would have watch the sagales team play it’s one thing watching them play it’s another thing getting out there practicing with them and getting them to getting him into position to qualify for the Olympics yeah he definitely has some you
Know Young stars and K and I think he can really build on them and you’re right you know I’m really proud of them actually to come and play really hard they were struggling in that first he pulled a timeout and they answered and you know you ask me what’s something
They can learn from this and yeah sadly they’re not going to make it to their goal and obviously we’ll probably have to see as well I don’t want to count anything out cuz we’ve seen crazy stuff but they’ve dug this hole and it’s too hard but what they can keep building on
Is you know they second in uh afro basket they had Nigeria who will go it through you had them up you had them up nine keep building and just keep working hard and under this new coaching staff I I really do think sky is the limit for
Senagal so the player I was thinking of was kuna and DOW played a little bit number nine Kuna and the ball taken away the musman has 28 waiting on her to get to [Applause] 30 Khan spins oh beautiful play KH who can do it all between those
Two something you can definitely work on and build with she has turned it over five times tonight yoris for [Applause] [Applause] three moving Screen Lion goes out delar comes back in and you can see messan using this as a teaching Moment so under five minutes remaining before Belgium get their ticket to the Olympics and remember they still gotten another the game to play against Nigeria Sagal will take on the United States those games will be on Sunday SAR drives in and another bucket for Herman from the Baseline there she’s got 30 there you go only a matter of time time out he’s going to be very upset cuz he said do not leave her alone make sure you’re next to her like glue and like white on rice y there we go and she’s
Got 30 welld deserved just being oh she’s so amazing honestly if you’re a fan of women’s basketball or just a young girl or boy and if you watch how Emma Mesa moves how she communicates with her teammates her personality on and off the court just a true competitor
Always striving always is happy for the pressure and knows what this journey has been for Belgium and and moving forward now they going to be looking remember they’re Euro basket Champions I’m saying go for gold yeah why not I mean they they beat the best team in the world I
Mean they almost beat the best team in the world last night the USA yeah uh they lose that one why not you don’t go you don’t go into the Olympics not thinking of scaling the heights it is uh it is a a game you know the Olympics are dominated by the United
States women there’s no doubt about it and maybe they’re going to strengthen their team yeah so they would be even a tougher nut to crack but you just don’t know well we don’t know but I’m just saying but it feels like they’d have as good a chance as anybody well if I’m
Belgium would you not build and feel confident playing last night yes you lost by by two you were by 13 I feel like you feel good from you have to look at some sort of win in that loss in that disappointing heartbreaking loss where were the good moments how did we execute
What looked good and a lot of these players have Olympic experience from Tokyo so you know those tough moments when they exited in the quarterfinals so sometimes you have to learn how to lose before you win I don’t think they’ve been quite as sharp tonight but they have been good
Shot clock about to expire and obviously trying to run a play there and you got to ultimately cut it loose and I think the encouraging thing as well tonight is that alaman has played a lot of minutes so yeah you know she’s got clearly she’s got you know a knee issue that she’s
Looking after but yeah I’m I’m happy to see as she’s back out and a huge part of this Belgium team better to get the ball inbounds always making the pass look at that ramont she’s got to get her three she is just too darn good yep well
There you go she scored so might be talking about 100 for Belgium as well let’s see if they can get there the handoff and Foul here’s Khan again doing the good work for the second time tonight [Applause] mman good hustle back by do and I know you don’t maybe it doesn’t seem like it but it is this is still an important finish for for sagol because they’ve got another game and these are games that they have together with their new coach against Great opposition you
Know so you want to make the most of this as a national team program M he’s got [Applause] 32 what else can I say about mess need to go with my book of gems because we are in the Diamond District of Belgium maybe I’ll just call her a [Applause] [Applause] Diamond so the the starters go out well delore goes out mesman goes out Raman goes out and they know they’ve uh accomplished what they set out to do which was to get back to the Olympics they won’t have to travel quite as far this time I mean
France is what a neighboring country so just get on the Euro star I’m guessing they will still stay in the Olympic Village oh yeah you want the full experience the Olympic Village is the best car I went in 2012 in London Think the I mean the the Olympics are going to be so special in France I mean obviously all the sports but the opening ceremony have you heard about the opening ceremony yeah going down the river yeah the River Bank original yeah it is so all the teams were going up
Boat and float down the river that’s what I’m he I might get me a boat yeah see if I can sneak out there there’s no way you’ll see you com in a [Applause] m going behind the back goes off one foot and a little bit of panach Belgian panach there we go really
Lovely move doesn’t always have to shoot threes he’s got the mid-range jump up there’s Khan driving it again he’s going to finish with a nice number 16 points red doesn’t settle now they get it down low to g off look at that another pass Massie that is massive
Here she goes again K and oh I wanted her to make that I’d like her to see her get 19 [Applause] 20 I don’t think Belgium are going to get to the 100 mark look at that long bounce pass RT again goes up lays it up with both hands highlight play put that
In the shuffle of top 10 and Lou right on the money easy finish I think that’s a real nice weight they turn over the [Applause] ball to get her bucket have you noticed how REM moves around the court I bet she plays tennis I think her footwork sometimes
Anyway yis goes out here’s the Applause Kon comes back in so look at kson standing next to Massie well we’re going to look at the crowd look at this of stuff here she goes RIT kon’s oh rles out K off gets it over and kon’s trying to serve it up for kson to
Get a three M Misses but look at this the hustle from gof G done well isn’t it really tall but putting extra effort in those plays in Spain plays competitive you know Euro league Z go so in Spain well this is a lovely sight here is the crowd they know
Their team has done it they’ve been here both days supporting them van l oh in and out gild off with the rebound back elide Kon has thought about launching it ramt for three you can count that how good has she been look at to celebrate with her teammate really lovely those
Two having a great night why not it’s Friday night here in Belgium three-pointer good from De too little too late it’s been solid though tell at least we’re met his raised eyebrows I’m impressed 25 years of age he plays in Spain as well k l and Kon for
Three having fun they could get to 100 if they get the ball back yeah they’re just having fun they’ve got the crowd off their feet KH doesn’t want to stop de up for three there you go she knocks down another one well still got 1.2 seconds left
9763 they run on the court but they need to get the ball in bounds hurry up SK the ball just a minor detail the game is still alive that’s it Belgium have done it mission accomplished they came out played the game of their lives last
Night but lost to the USA they come out tonight and Win It convincingly 9766 Belgium celebrate because they are going back to the Olympics going back to France they’ve played excellent a real team with win a real team effort played some beautiful basketball Emma Maman 32 huge points if
You don’t know about her you better get to know because she’s incredible and you will see her at the Olympic [Applause] Games so you have to like what you see you know I think sagol came here as the clear underdog they LED Nigeria for three qus and I
Think probably let an opportunity go I think they could have won that game I think you’re right and uh so no need to hang their heads they just got to get back to work and look at the boarding pass it’s going to be awarded to
Belgium I like that and this is a team that needs to aim big because I think they can do something yep they B their ticket they’re on route so many people a part of this the players the coaching staff the Federation W this is really lovely shot
Wonderful fans and a team like this just kind of comes along every you know once a generation really it’s it’s pretty amazing the Belgian story continues and if you thought you saw the best in Tokyo I dare say I think the best is yet to come since that point
They have all already won the fee women’s EUR basket last year now they’ve won now they’ve uh won this game to get to the F women excuse me to get to the Olympics take over well here’s the stat 64% very great percentage 13 from 33
Still managed to n hit that n 40% Mark the rebounding only one by four but the assists were pretty weren’t they 304 assists they get to dance they get to smile because they know they’re going back to the Olympics but what I love the most about this is that they get it here
In front of their fans who have been incredible and the Sixth Man and they get to celebrate their wild cats going on to the Olympic Games and what did I tell you about lwa yes maybe maybe she would have a little let down today scoring wise but
It doesn’t matter it doesn’t matter she has a donut but it doesn’t matter she was she didn’t start oh he took a couple shots so yeah this is a tradition here for Belgium where they clap and I just love this look they’re into it the fans love
It wonder if there any relation to Iceland because they do it as well well I just think it’s a moment where you can actually have gratitude and and thank and I really appreciate those CLS were for you oh god what have I done yeah okay now these are
Cuz they’re facing us oh they’re facing us okay here we go so Belgium uh for the second consecutive time getting back to the Olympics and hoping that uh well it’s always special when you go to the games but I think the experience that they had last time they’re only
Better they’re better but so many people put so much work into this Belgian national team program over the years and it’s all coming to fruition and uh they took advantage by winning the European title now oh hey look at this all of a sudden uh we’re getting uh some pictures of
Belgium TV so we’ll just talk through that uh now we are celebrating as you look at a couple former Belgium intern Belgian Internationals here’s lwa back on the court talking to the crowd she’s taking over the mic Jeff she’s doing our job and she’s just going to thank the crowd
I love this this is a moment why you play in front of your home crowd well she’s also a leader it turns out a cheerleader wonderful Moment she’s saying Belgium and the crowd says cat Belgium cats so they’re yelling Belgian cats and Belgian cats it is so the night for them and again I think they’re going to be remembered in a larger sense for what happened last night with that remarkable game that they played against the United
States yeah I know the USA enjoyed that game uh winning it right with just point2 seconds we’re winning it at the death with the Brianna Stewart shot but Belgium showing that they could play with anybody and then they come out tonight and they take care of business they take care of business and
They get the uh the the victory over sagol so here are some plays that we’re looking at right at the end for me it was just a full incredible win from Belgium you cannot take anything away from them MMA mum 32 points splashed every single bucket in nothing but net was quality
And her teammates found her over and over again wide open shots but this team for me Jeff I just think put some respect on their name and I think they’re going to be going for goal coming from last night like you said only losing at point of a second Stewart
Hits the ball in and I just think wow this team is somebody to someone to look out for and it’s going to be a good time they can celebrate tonight because they’re off Tomorrow so Belgium win 9766 over sagol to punch their te to the Olympics now they’re celebrating at midcourt and
