World Cup basketball
« on: August 18, 2014, 12:47:20 PM »
Anybody looking forward to WC basketball. US beat Brazil in a warm up yesyterday. I see everybody could not stomach posting anything after Paul George incident. Is like the thread became toxic. Hope he recovers healthy and all the best for the future. So when people say athletes nowadys are greedy. It may be true, but incidents like this should make us understand why most players seek their interest first.

So back to the topic. Who allyuh backing? WC football sapped allyuh brains?

Basketball fan here but not a big fan of International tournaments because I know once the US play together as a team they win beat any team easily. So far in this WC looks like the 'same ole, same ole US journey to winning the Cup'

France upset Spain in W/Cup


Huge upsets lit up the basketball World Cup yesterday as France beat hosts Spain 65-52 while Serbia thumped Brazil 84-56 to set up an intriguing semi-final clash.
Holders the United States and Lithuania will meet in the first semi in Barcelona today while the Serbs and the French will lock horns in Madrid tomorrow.
Fancied to stroll into an anticipated title bout with the Americans, the Spaniards were stunned by a French side missing several top players including four-time NBA champion Tony Parker of the San Antonio Spurs.
A resurgent Serbia, who squeezed through the preliminary group stage, produced a second successive upset in the knockout rounds and brushed aside the Brazilians after they eliminated Greece in the round of 16.
