This is going to be a great final World Cup day.

Picking Serbia to win it all!

Thanks , your picks always fail , putting the house on Germany!

Latvia added some more $$ before ending this World Cup up so will put some more on Serbia. Going with USA and Over too! Lovely World Cup i actually earned a bit but will probably lose it all on NFL Week 1. LOL

I can imagine how many bettors were upset by team Latvia games. According to country rating, Latvia wins just one game and goes home early.

Kessler starting, finally.

What happened to JJJ or Paolo that Kessler is the starter?

Well, let's find out which team cares more.

It'll probably be Canada, I think.

Canadian broadcast just said they're ill, along with Brandon Ingram.

Wow... jjj ingram and PB ill? Did they eat something?

Great start by Canada.

US seem disinterested.

Almost no defense by USA again.

Sounds like excuses already

Phreak50 · Post #1091 » by **Phreak50** » Sun Sep 10, 2023 8:45 am

Reeves targeted in the post again, fouls and scored on.

Bit of a theme here.

Man, this US team is disappointingly soft on multiple levels.

Canada getting whatever they want.

Lol, no excuses

Neither wants to go home placed FOURTH. For the 2 teams with the most NBA players it would be an embarassment

Reaves is so good. I don't respect his game at all though. Pure grifter.

Phreak50 · Post #1095 » by **Phreak50** » Sun Sep 10, 2023 8:55 am

Reeves already with fouls drawn by a Harden rip through and a Trae stop so the trailing defender hits you.

Quickly becoming my most disliked player.

If the phantom ‘we need a white American star’ NBA fouls weren’t bad enough.

USA would've won the title with Haliburton at 30 mpg and Brunson benched.

I can get quoted on that but I stand with this.

Absoutely worlds apart in terms of impact on the court. I don't know if it just them individually or the guys paired with them(Brunson played with Edwards/Bridges/JJJ more, Hali played with Reaves/Banchero/Portis/Cam) but the difference in lineup play is huge.

Solid comeback by the US, just feels like they still have the talent advantage despite the US's absences. Canada are gonna need SGA to have a good game.

Barrett is a terrible player.

Phreak50 · Post #1099 » by **Phreak50** » Sun Sep 10, 2023 9:11 am

Brooks with 21pts 5/5 3pt has been really good.

ROballer · Post #1100 » by **ROballer** » Sun Sep 10, 2023 9:11 am

Dillon Brooks is on another planet in FIBA.

Wonder if it was just the Memphis thing for him and can replicate some of this in Houston. The guy's making shots left and right unlike the NBA.

new WORLD CHAMPION this Sunday will be?
