What you think Bogdanovic and Jokic play against USA today or not?

It's obvious that Americans are bored for such a game

This will be worst ranking for USA in history. They never finished lower than 6th.

Congratulations to France, finally they were able to play as a team. They always have amazing players, but normally they don't work very well as a team. Also i think that it is good for basketball that the US can't win with a C team, next year they will be dominant enough. France has a great future with guys like Ntilikina, Hayes, Doumbouya, Maledon, Wembanyama, Hoard, Cazalon or Begarin. They clearly have the 2nd best talent pool in the world, ahead of Australia and Canada. Overall this is an amazing year for french sport, first their massive overperformance at the judo world championships and now this ...

Not sure if France can be considered the favorite now? I think France and Australia have been more impressive than Argentina/Spain, but if they battle it out in the semifinal, then Spain might profit from that in the final. I think France could become the 3rd country in history to hold the world title in football and basketball at the same time. Brazil did it in 1958/1959 and 1962/1963 and Spain did it in 2006/2010. France could also become the 4th country to win world cups in both sports, the other nations that did it are Spain, Brazil and Argentina.

Yes, Latvia is clearly better than Slovenia, we saw in last Eurobasket Quarterfinal. 

 

You probably forgot,  are reigning European champions, if they don't get a chance in qualifications, then we can really talk about corruption.

Yeah, by that logic Slovenia also is better than Spain/Serbia/France ...

Everything came together for your team last year, but Dragic clearly declined since then and noone can seriously doubt that Latvia has more talent than your team.

France too athletic team and they have Gobert in center position, he is really a "rock" 

[Monzanator 4,768]

Didn't like Gobert win the Defensive Player of the Year in NBA the last two seasons? Calling him a "rock" is an understatement

Our State TV suddenly broadcasted the SF, and look what necktie is the host wearing

 

Time to enjoy the match
