Subject: World Cup '06
They dominated Italy until the red card, arguably the goal. They were the best team in Europe in the Euro two years ago, coming back from 2-0 to beat the Netherlands 3-2, then crushing Denmark (from the group that Italy couldn't survive) 3-0 in the first elimination round, no one played like them, hence their #2 rank, which unlike for the US, is not derived from playing Carribean nations of 500 people. Baros just came back from an injury and Koller got injured. Besides those two, there's a great disparity, they don't have an offense. Have those two been healthy, coming in to play together, don't see a reason why they wouldn't match what they did in the Euro, the type of incredibly attractive playing they put on, and justify that ranking, if not surpassing it. So they had the better of Italy on their only chance Italy scored a goal of the corner, and basically back to the Ghana game again. Red card arrived in the 44th-45th minute. Without their forwards they just can't play from a disadvantaged position when their opponent doesn't give them an opportunity, just don't have the strikers, only the midfield. Numerous injuries elsewhere as well, age has nothing to do with it, don't listen to the retarded commentators. Italy sucks, pretty bad at that as well, but anyone can play a man up and being on top and put one more, including Ghana. Shame the cirumstances went like that against truly one of the best teams in the world, I would say they had the potential to be even better than Brasil, who're still playing with a buoy up top.
right, i see that in usa you don't follow the basketball wc at all :(
uhm, we don't? We were mildly intrigued at the first dream team. Somewhat bored with the second. Now we're absolutely apathetic.
Honestly, and keep in mind i watch a lot of sports and listen to sports talk shows on the radio to and from work about 90 minutes a day.... I didn't even know there was a basketball world cup. Literally, not just that it was going on now, i didn't know that there was one at all.
You guys judge yourselves in competition against the US. We follow sports for our teams against other US teams.
Sorry, but that's the way it is here.

I already knew that :) but I tought maybe someone was following the wc.
You are sooooo good that they gave you an extra 'N' to the end of your name... ;)
It's more that we don't care. American professional basketball is a joke, those guys couldn't play defense if their paychecks depended on it. At this point we'd probably do better if we had the college guys playing.
Basketball is all about the flash. Defense isn't flash. Fundamentals isn't about flash.
It's all about the entertainment.

dude, if you're gonna talk trash, get a clue.
The eagles have the most wins of any professional team since 2000. They also went like what, 4 seasons in a row basically undefeated in conference?
Punching bag, lol.
Go ahead and post a 4 page retort, i won't read it.
