40 years old Scola schooled Chokic, Bogdan best player on his team and it isn't close.

I am sad for Bogdanovic, such a good player, wasted in an awful national team.

Funny how perception changes when you're no longer playing the Philippines or Angola...

But it was the most overhyped European team ever. That has to be worth something, right?

I can’t remember when Serbia played so bad on defense. And I watch them since Yugoslavia fell apart. Not to lose any words how they lacked self confidence and showed no passion at all. I feel bad for Micic who played even though he lost his mom yesterday.

Serbia was bad on D,but Jokic and Bjelica was just AWFUL!!!!!

Jokic played like the typical NBA star that gets called up to international play and kind of gives half an effort because he's got bigger fish to fry.

I think it was a leadership matter with Teodosic out. Bogdanovic and Jokic are great, but Teodosic was the boss. It was like France After Parker's retirement and Batum absent in 2017 : great offensive players with De Colo, Fournier and Heurtel, but no leader on the field (Diaw had to deal with too many new players)

So I would'nt Say they were the most overhyped euro team ever, but things get very wrong and maybe they were too much confidents

These guys are the best. Wish you all could see the post game interviews. I'll try to post them if I can get ahold of them.

Half of the realgm forum users got exposed. Serbia was overrated as hell.

Overachievers so far: Poland, Argentina, Czech Republic
Underachievers so far: Russia, Serbia, Turkey, Greece
Maybe underachievers/maybe not: Lithuania, Brazil

I dont understand comments here. Overhyped? Overrated. This team played finals of Olympic games, finals of Euro, finals of World cup.

We lost, Argentina dominated. Its sport, move on.

U know why it's better we lost... We now have to beat Argentina, probably USA in the semis and than win in the finals to win it all

So if we have won today, everybody would say we had the easiest path to the gold ever and similar

Keep being humble. That' s the path to get beaten by Argentina.

That's why I'm not

Priceless, funny, how their fans thought they were goat, and they were eliminated by a wide margin. Loss after loss and not even a close game.

They still thinking they are gonna beat USA in semifinals and get the gold. That' s why Jokic was at the bench at the end of game. Just to be fresh rested for semifinals against Americans.

I've got absolutely nothing against Serbia...but their fan's made their bed. It's just sports. People love to it when teams with cocky, arrogant fans lose.

LoL. yeah, saying that this team could beat USA or that this team is the best european team ever... lol, i call this overhype, and overrate. Just look and the pool of this topic. All the serbs voting like crazy. Many post saying they were to destroy all the other national teams. I haven t seen such arrogance by nationals fans on this forum ever.

Heck they are not even the best european team in this tournament i would take Spain, they are still miles over them as we saw when they faced each other.
