The USA took the tension out of the game right away and were up 27-7 after the first period, after an early 15-0 lead.

Canada could not come back after the shock start and in the end the Americans, who are the reigning champions, won by a whopping 83-43.

- A nightmare.

That Canada, who was highly touted during the World Cup, that they would lose by 40 points and not be close, it wasn't on the map.

A big disappointment.

At the same time, we know what the USA is capable of, it's a very good basketball team.

They make your life a nightmare often by playing really good basketball, says Nick Rajacic.

At 11.25 the broadcast begins for semi-final two between the home nation Australia and China.
