0:00:10.680 --> 0:00:13.440
<v Speaker 1>Our two countries have always been long term allies and

0:00:13.480 --> 0:00:16.400
<v Speaker 1>the very best of friends. But there are rivalries there

0:00:16.440 --> 0:00:19.560
<v Speaker 1>in sport, they're in music there across the board. So

0:00:19.640 --> 0:00:24.760

<v Speaker 1>from a free throw to break the deadlock and win

0:03:49.000 --> 0:03:57.680
