Iran's roster in Tokyo, US and France should be careful

btw even being here was a miracle, thanks to Poland and Nigeria and also Venezuela some of our veterans deserved another Olympics for their last NT competition, so it was some kind of gift from nowhere for them

 

there are 3 athletes in our whole delegation who didn't born in Iran, all of them in our basketball team. (they have Iranian fathers though)

none of them are important or key players but having them in the final squad just shows our current situation. we couldn't find better players inside the country

Durant already with 4 fouls in the beginning of the 3rd. This isn't NBA refereeing i think.

 is already in trouble on the first match?

This is the post-Dream Team era reality. USA won't win every game by 25 points fielding mostly second-tier players anymore.

Well, so much the the Americans being considered the favorites here.  Looked bad in some of the pre-Olympic warmup games and clearly it's continuing over here

[Monzanator 4,577]

beats 83-76.

 

This second ass US team really needs to be stopped hyping as runaway favorites by default.

Its first loss at Olympics for USA since group stage in Athens 2004.

To add, 25 long winning streak has ended.

Not that this loss is shocking as we might think. USA was close to lose in Rio, and we know that Spain was close even in London.

It was already clear at the last World Cup that the rest of the world has caught up to the United States (ie no flukes required to win).
