They were outhustled and outworked by a more hard-working French team.......It is that simple.

Oh and Rudy Fernadez acted like a total fool.......

That one blonde French chick with the French flag painted on the side of her face they kept showing was looking good.

Pietrus?

Yeah Pietrus too.

What is funny France couldn't score the first half of quarter 1 and 3. Take out those horrible starts they dominated Spain.

Can't decide who was more epic : the game or the commentator.

In the ARG-GER game, the ARG big men have been killing Germany (as expected) in the Q3. Let's see what Schaffarztik, Jagla and Co can do vs the 13pt gap.

The French no question had the better looking girls.

well, obviously Spain is still keeping their cards close to the vest.....right?

Meh, this doesn't mean anything. Spaniards always start off slow.

senfono · Post #976 » by **senfono** » Sat Aug 28, 2010 8:06 pm

its typical spanish to suck in the first game and then win it all. Good signal!

BTW, being 2nd in the group Spain probably will not meet USA till the final.

ok, that's all being optimistic. Being realistic Spain looked bad, very bad... awful

Batum's gonna be a stud. Great game from him when it counted most.

Lamak · Post #978 » by **Lamak** » Sat Aug 28, 2010 8:08 pm

Can't believe Spain was upset by France. Spain had better players and talents but just weren't focused and weren't in rhythm on offense.

Point forward · Post #979 » by **Point forward** » Sat Aug 28, 2010 8:10 pm

Tell that commentator that it is Steffen HA-mann, not Steffen ha-MANN.

richboy · Post #980 » by **richboy** » Sat Aug 28, 2010 8:13 pm

It means Spain could be a lower seed in the elimination round. Also means they better not loose again. Lucky for them they play in a pretty easy group. Lithuania and France could come out of there group should they loose again.
