[High 5]

Spain should just feel fortunate they were allowed to play on the same court.

[Mags FTW]

[Laker at Heart]

Yeah, it's old news, doesn't matter now.

That being said, are all the "f*ck Spain" posts necessary? Threads have been closed for much less than that. I wonder how long would I last here if I posted "f*ck the US".

No the f**k Spain isn't necessary, but either is this thread. It was four months ago Spain lost, USA won get over it.

Chantal Julien? Isn't she some kind of euro version of Violet Palmer?

[UGA Hayes]

No offense, but these other teams, esp Spain is every bit as guilty as at traveling as the USA. I remember that being a pretty big source of frustation watching the 04 games. It wasn't that US players didn't travel. It was that they were the only team in the etorny that it was called in, depite the fact that Euros have pretty much reinvented the travel.

Talking about gifts, who does not remember the Olympic Games Final of 2008. It was the French referee Chantal Julien who officiated during the decisive game between Spain and the USA. And now, in an interview with the French magazine Basketnews, Chantal comes back to this memorable game with the following words: You don’t call the same things on the Americans than you do call on other teams. You have to call the most evident of the evident things. If you whistle a travel every time that Kobe Bryant starts a drive, you will get whistled, you as the referee…During the final, the Spanish team has been penalized on the US travels. With the consequences that we know at the end with the two technical fouls on non-called traveling violations. This was embarrassing…

If the game was 3 point win then I can see what you mean, but it was a 11 point game.

[Farm Raid]

It's official: No one cares.

[NO-KG-AI]

All that crow the rest of the world is eating is soooo satisfying. Don't smack talk America if you don't want to get smashed when we get serious.

Cheers!

[jefe]

This looks like an emergency!

[RJM]

Robbed? They played great...but we were flat out better.

[TMU]

After that racist ad, I've lost a lot of respect for their team. And I'm glad we destroyed that lowly Spanish team.

Go Team USA, the best team in the world.

[DFolks]

Destroyed?

119 - 82.... destruction.

Team USA beat the Spanish team by 118 to 107...the game was within reach until the final buzzer.

Maybe the ref should stop making excuses and sack up and call it like he sees it. I doubt he'd lose his job. What the **** did he think would happen? It's not like Coach K is going to put a hit out on him.

[Hendrix]

cry me a **** river

USA would beat Spain 10/10 times. Get over it

Wat? It was a ball game to the final couple mainutes that either team could have won. Plus Spain won the WC's that a pretty solid USA team was in.
