The France HC should be fired after this game. Instead of running the offense thru Wemby he's decided to run it thru the **** ass guards. VIVA LA FRANCE

Honestly, I am afraid this is them having it together.

It amazes me how you have a 7"4 teammate and you don't pass him the ball.

IF that's the case, the games already over.

I am afraid so. The writing was on the wall in the games against Brazil and Japan, you could see they would struggle hard against higher level teams.

Bruh even Wemby getting pushed around out there. Germany is clearly a tier above the French.

Very impressive half. Hard to beat anybody’s ass by 21 points in 20 minutes.

I feel for Wembanyama. The average IQ on that team must be in single digits. The amount of players that can make a half decent pass tops at 3.

Wemby's getting pushed outta the paint because he's so slim. Passes result in turnovers because of it.

He can't even get open, unless it's way behind the three point line. To make matters worse, they have no point who can make the defense collapse and then set him up for lobs.
So many people who attain the heights of power in this culture—celebrities, for instance—have to make a show of false humility and modesty, as if they got as far as they did by accident and not by ego or ambition.

France wouldn't have qualified for the olympics if they weren't the host country, better European countries that didn't qualify
