Turkey won but looked absolutely terrible against maybe the weakest team among all the tournaments.
Some crazy trivia: it was Uruguay's first official game against an european team since 1986 and we're talking about a team that used to play WCs and olympics regularly for decades.
I know nobody here is sparing a thought for this team but Dominicana national team manager confirmed that Al Horford and KA Towns will, once more, not take part in the team. And not only them but several other experienced dominican players. They will be going with a B team basically.
We saw it in 2016 where it was Argentina in particular (though United States and Canada too) that benefited from the absence of Brazil.
Just the women's handball, the rest will be the same for 2020. For USA and Canada it makes no difference, even more, I think Canada will qualify more sports this year.
Gasol was simply unplayable today, Scola and Delia couldn't defend him nor get around him in defense unlike what happened with Jokic or Gobert in the previous games.
Also our team's 3pt% was completely absent today and when that happens Argentina can't compete with the big size teams.
All in all a great tournament. Probably this bad final will make the average sport fan and the media here forget about the team by tomorrow but they did something completely unexpected.
