Neither team expected to be fighting for the bronze medal.No. 2-ranked Spain have finished runner up to the U.S. in the two previous Olympics while the Boomers were favourites to defeat Serbia in their semifinal and had boldly stated they were shooting for gold at Rio.Spain pushed team USA to their limits in their semifinal encounter before the U.S. firepower proved too much to handle. Only veteran Pau Gasol, who finished with 23 points and eight rebounds, was able to find a comfortable rhythm and flow for Spain.The Boomers, who had beaten Serbia in the group stages, had their worst game of the Olympics.Their defensive effort wasnt up to their usual standard but it was at the other end of the floor where things fell apart.The big three of Andrew Bogut, Patty Mills and Matthew Dellavedova combined for 20 points on 8/26 shooting, a lowly 30.7 percent.The Boomers were ranked second in points per game before their semifinal but have since fallen to fifth.Spain rank above the Boomers in every major statistical category (points, rebounds, blocks, steals), except for assists where the Boomers are still ranked first.What that shows is the huge mountain the Boomers have to overcome if they are to walk away from Rio with the first medal in Australian mens basketball history.With the Spaniards coming in as heavy favourites, the Boomers assume the underdog role and go into the match with nothing to lose.Can the Boomers shake things up one last time?Boomers squad G: Matthew Dellavedova G: Patty Mills F: Joe Ingles F: Aron Baynes C: Andrew Bogut Bench: David Andersen, Kevin Lisch, Ryan Broekhoff, Chris Goulding, Brock Motum, Damian Martin, Cameron Bairstow*.Spain squad G: Ricky Rubio G: Sergio Llull F: Rudy Fernandez F: Nikola Mirotic C: Pau Gasol Bench: Victor Claver, Felipe Reyes, Willy Hernangomez, Sergio Rodriquez, Juan Carlos Navarro, Alex Abrines, Jose Calderon.Previous meeting: Spain defeated Australia 82-70, London Olympics 2012.Rio results 1st game: Australia defeated France 87-66; Spain lost to Croatia 72-70. 2nd game: Australia defeated Serbia 95-80; Spain lost to Brazil 66-65. 3rd game: Australia lost to United States 98-88; Spain defeated Nigeria 96-87. 4th game: Australia defeated China 93-68; Spain defeated Lithuania 109-59. 5th game: Australia defeated Venezuela 81-56; Spain defeated Argentina 92-73.

Mourinhos agent Jorge Mendes will arrive in England on Tuesday for talks with Uniteds executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward at an undisclosed central London location.Whilst an agreement is expected to be reached quickly due to Mourinhos strong desire to become United manager, and the fact initial talks took place earlier in the year, one detail still to be concluded is the length of his contract. Jose Mourinho has been inseparable from assistant Rui Faria since 2001 Mourinho will take his trusted deputy Rui Faria to Old Trafford as assistant manager though, meaning an effective demotion for Giggs if he agrees to stay at the club.However, Mourinho holds the former wingers achievements at United in high regard and is keen to find a role for him to extend his 29-year association with the Red Devils.Giggs, Uniteds most decorated player, previously worked under David Moyes as player-coach, before taking charge of the final four games of the 2013-14 season in the role of interim manager when Moyes was sacked. Giggs was Van Gaals assistant during his two years at Manchester United He was then named assistant manager when Louis van Gaal took charge the following summer. Giggs has been seen by some influential figures at the club as a future United manager, although this is the second time he has been overlooked for the top job.Woodward briefed Giggs on the latest developments at the clubs Carrington training ground on Monday, before the confirmation of Van Gaals sacking was made public later in the day. It is expected Giggs will speak with Mourinho in person before making a decision on his future. However, that conversation will not take place before Mourinhos own contract with the club is signed.Mourinho has worked with Faria since 2001, when the former was appointed manager of Uniao de Leiria, and hired Faria as fitness coach and assistant manager. Jose Mourinho signed Asmir Begovic for Chelsea and the Bosnian keeper is backing Mourinho to turn Manchester United into title challengers again They have been inseparable since, with Faria following Mourinho to Porto, Chelsea, Inter Milan and Real Madrid, before returning to Chelsea for their second spell.dddddddddddd The pair met at Mourinos London home on Monday afternoon, spending around 90 minutes discussing their next move.The future of highly-rated Under-21 team boss Warren Joyce is also uncertain. Blackburn Rovers approached United for permission to speak to Joyce last week.Joyce is keen to make the step up to manage at a higher level, although he wishes to know where he fits in to Mourinhos plans before making a final decision. It is thought United will not stand in Joyces way if he wishes to leave, but will defer the final decision to Mourinho. The length of Jose Mourinhos contract is still to be decided Win a trip to Kansas City, USA!
