Hmmmm....

...noone seems to have started a topic about this. I have returned for that one...


Anyway Greece beat the US 101-95 in the semifinal and will meet Spain in the final.

My comments/Trivia:

1. Another 'Yankee go home' for the US team who have not seen a gold medal for 3 (I think) of World Tournaments.

2. The Japanese fans were chearing for ...the US. Having being nuked and all that I would expect them to support anyone but. I ll never understand the Japanese...

3. The US is at the moment, undoubtedly, the most hated nation in the world (thanks to its administration). A rumour has it that the Greek victory was publicly cheered allover the world (Especially Arabic countries and Serbia)...Can anyone confirm this?

4. None of the 12 Greek players players (despite being European Champions) play at the NBA. ...So much for NBA Scouters...


5. Isnt it time for the Americans to learn how to play defence?


6. Nash, Nowitzki, Gasol, Ming etc are non-americans and star at the NBA. Team usa cannot even reach the final. Is this the end of the US basketball talent?

7. Greece has a population of 10m , the US has 250m ( I think)

8. LeBron James approached Sofoklis Schortsianitis after the game and asked him 'Why arent you playing in the NBA yet?'

If there is anyone out there who cares about Basketball out there feel free to comment or predict the outcome of Sunday's game (Greece-Spain)


For now free drinks for everyone. A great victory, an all European Final, and some humble-pie for some 'favorites' like the US and Argentina.
