Affirmative! Congrats to Argentina! But we are the ones who kicked the USA out. I heard that the ticket prices were cut down. Start swarmin'!

[Kitsune]

No nukes?  
How bout ICBM's with razor-fletchetted warheads?

Deatonate in low atmosphere and let sparkly death fall for about five hundred feet till it imbeds through anyone and everyone beneath...

And yeah, if it was a best of 3 the US would win.  After all, that's what the NBA's about.  Playing it along, getting fans to fill the seats for a few more days or to travel to the other team's stadium cause it's for a tie-breaker...

It's good business, just not good sportsmanship.

In other words, they forgot they were playing for national pride and thought they were playing for phat pocket change.

I'm not into basketball, but I suppose there's not even a french team?

Well that is the last thing he can say about this. Whenever Americans loose a game (especially in basketball) they blame the others and find excuses and always say that if something else happened, they would have won. Well sorry Kitsuni, but what ever you expected to happen, it didn't happen. Sorry! The facts are:

- You lost BIG TIME

- You were a favourite

- You were the host and lost ( hm that rimes )

- You underestimated Yugoslavia just like you did underestimate Argentina and LOST. Sorry

Accept these facts. It's all over for you guys for this year. All I can say is, better luck next time.

And by the way about the nukes or whatever weapon you dream about using on us, it won't help you nor you can use them SUCKA

Too bad Ol uncle Sam won't be able to help ya out to display your furry and anger.

As Vlade Divac said before the game, USA is beatable and so you are!

Must...keep...the...topic...active

BUMP!

did you want some sort of whiny-I'm-realy-better-than-you type responce?

[aldo_14]

It's just a shame that Yugoslavia is one of about 3 European countries that give a rats arse about Basketball.... which actually makes it even more impressive.

Well done... but,er, win a bit more gracefully next time, eh?

[KARMA]

well dream team is (or should be..) the best so i can imagine it is a great satisfaction to beat em
on my side i can only be happy for jaric (yugo) sconochini and ginobili (argentina) that were all players of virtus bologna, one of the two teams of my city, and one of the best (if not the best) teams in europe of the last years... i'm pretty sure we will heard from manuel ginobili even in nba with the spurs:)
and i'm also happy for yugoslavia for they are still there, althought the tragedy that happened that made em loosing people of the caliber of kukoc (and a lot more outside sport) , and althought a lot of the old stars leaved the national team (danilovic, savic (both ex players of virtus bologna), djordevic ( ex fortitudo bologna) and all the the others). unfourtunately the same can't be said for italy, we managed to be near the level of  yugoslavia for a while but after the older good players there isn't a lot more and now the team can't stand a challenge, they wasn't even able to qualify for these championships......

[Knight Templar]

Yugoslavia has a Basketball team? And they beat America's? (We have Harlem, and they beat us?) weird.

GO Canada! (We're 13th, we can still comeback )

lol.... canada basketball teams lol.... sorry i watch the simpsons

i would be careful, Uncle Bush might just decide that what Clinton started didn't and won't end untill Yugo is flying a flag with 51 stars  

[CP5670]

why does dutch have the french flag but rotated to the left?

I think I have seen some flags that look exactly identical...

[Levyathan]

A USA one and another USA one.

[Blue Lion]

Oh no! We lost basketball games? You mean.....oh no! *cries*

No wait, it means we got the world interested enough in a game we made to form teams on an international level and they got good enough to beat the inventors. You're playing our game, and you spent enough time playing to beat us, good for you

Oh no, not influence!

[Rictor]

YAY YAYA
 WE MADE IT TO THE FINALS

TAKE THAT NEW ZAELAND:lol:

Another patriotic American who tries to convince himself that USA lost because they wanted to and that we were the pupets of your game.  What you mentioned above is the stupidest set of arguments and statements I have heard over the last few days.
By the way, Blue Lion you should have seen the faces of your "proud players" at the end of the match and you should have listened the reports on Sky news, CNN, Eurosport. I think I heard the word Embarrasment a lot. Face it! You lost! No medals for you! Try better! As Vlade Divac said, you americans should learn from us.

Do you want to know the reason you lost the game?
Here it is. It is very common among americans to underestimate other countries being "the most powerfull nation in the world". This was the case in basketball. You thought that you could beat the Argentina, you lost. You challanged us, the defending world champions, you LOST! That is the problem. Sure you may be the most powerfull military state in the world but you are spoil sports because you think you are unbeatable. (Un)Fortunatelly, you are not and just think or guess what are your players thinking now when they lost the chance to even win the bronze and about their embarrasement in front of their own nation, and the world.

All I can say is, better luck next time.

[CP5670]

Which ones?

Italy and Ireland is one such combination, if I recall correctly.

No....they lost cause they lost

I'm just happy people are playing the game. You're playing a game we invented that has support around the world. We lost the tourney, so? You're playing basketball. That's a bigger victory You're just trying to get people riled over something stupid so you can gloat.

You know what's funny? This isn't the first thing we've lost, or the most important. If you can give me a reason why I should lose sleep over this, I'd love to hear it. Let me explain something to you, it's.....a basketball game. Ok? It's not a war or anything. It's a game, when you're done gloating, come get me and we'll see what major changes in the world occured because of it, oh yea, none. You know what you need to learn? How to win. This is the most pathetic excuse of a victor I've ever seen.

I thought we lost cause you scored more points than us?  It didn't have anything to do with.......oh I dunno, playing the game? Like field goals and stuff? I find it sooooo sad you actually went a made a thread here to gloat you won. Does anyone really honestly care? I didn't even know there was a tournament until you posted.
