Basketball WC: Greece upsets USA 10-95

Good match this Argentina vs. Spain. I hoped for Argentina to win but... it was very close.

Anybody has seen USA vs. Greece? Did the USA present their typical attitude on such an events?

sadly argentina loss
Couldn´t see USA Grece the game was at 4:30 am here
 
well, the yanks didn't have their best players so not much to discuss. Had they had Shaq and Tim Duncan playing the result would have been different. Excellent big men are vital in basketball.

fair point, they had some good players but Greece played basketball better i.e. like a team. The other nations have also caught up with the USA, they haven't got Jordans, Larry Birds etc anymore, these new stars are nowhere near that standard. The game played in the NBA also contributes to the yanks being so shit, i.e. it's a show these days where the main players are being treated like primadonnas and where it's all about building an image.
 
Who impressed me the most on this tournament was Paul Gasol. When he entered the NBA, he was "thin little boy". Now he looks massive...
