In any case, big game, it had everything: two teams playing their hearts off, intensity, controversy... great entertainment. Congrats to Spain and Australia, both deserved the win.

Cheers!

Australia was certainly more favored by the referee. The fact that they're complaining is pathetic. Their behavior is embarrassing.

There arrogant fans on both sides of the fence, did you miss the Spanish supporter posting racist comments a few pages back?

Are you talking about flopping?

Who shot mills with a bazooka in the over time?

Err I was not rooting for either team, nor am I interested in knowing which team flopped more. Relax.

Yes the refs were bad down the stretch which brought Spain close. Lucky we got that makeup call at the end to send to OT.

In the end we made dumb as **** decisions (I’m looking at u delly and creek) and were outgassed by marc.

Don’t sleep on us. We going to be hungrier than ever in Tokyo.

if nick kay doesn't hesitate under the basket at the end of the 4th....

i cant hate though, he actually played really well...but still

I know bro! He missed like 3 should make layups at the end there. Again can't hate he had like 10 offensive rebounds. So upsetting though :'(

As much as I hate every Spanish National Team in every sport, congratulations to them.
They always are a team with good chemistry, where everyone knows his role and mostly plays unselfishly.

Big props to Sergio Scariolo, a mastermind. I wish he could have trained my Italian National Team for as long as he did with Spain.

Big props to the Australians, too. They fought hard. Perhaps they lack in collective experience in closing out important games, so this World Cup can only serve as good mental preparation for future competitions.

Pretty unprofessional by Bogut.

I googled it, it’s in Switzerland.

He was also caught doing the money sign when Spain got two free throws to go up by two at the end of regulation. I'm not denying the fact that it was a phantom foul but then Mills got another phantom foul call at the other end to tie the game. I thought it was pretty ironic. The officiating was bad on both sides.

All hope in Gobert now, but I bet Marc's gonna school him.

You really don't like Spain haha. Marc will be very tired for the final, but he could still perform well.

I hate cheating and acting. They're truly one of the greatest teams ever (not this particular crew playing at the WC 2019, but the core), but they always act disgracefully. Can't wait to see Rudy out of the sport.

I'm kind of confused... It's not in Spain, does he mean just European teams have an advantage?

AussieCeltic · Post #3357 » by **AussieCeltic** » Fri Sep 13, 2019 11:39 am

Just so people are aware. Australia losing to Spain the way we did in Rio (contentious refs decisions - please YouTube it).. is why so many of us including Bogut are upset again.

It’s not taking anything away from Spain but we’ve had some very bad calls that have cost us big games and yes I understand there were bad calls both ways. Just trying to give some context

Probably trying to imply it must be in Spain due to the officiating.

Why you hate spanish teams? just curiosity.
If you are italian you should root for spain just like a lot of italians do, and the same happens with spaniards rooting for italiy. Spain and Italy are similar and share a lot of things, they are like brothers, supporting each other is the most logical thing.
