(this is completely off-topic...but I was just wondering)

Is anybody following the basketball World Cup? I haven't been watching the games, but I'm following the results. Argentina is on quaterfinals...hopefully we'll win against Turkey on Tuesday. And if we get further, I can't wait to beat USA (hehehe...that's our little secret, eh? )

Oh...and I don't make a thread about it because I'm gonna get egged by the Americans if I mention anything about Argentina apparently we're a big threat to their team... (with good reason hahaha)

No haven't seen anything, but I have been watching other channels maybe it was on, I don't know. Not overly excited by Basketball. If it follows on the same programme as I watch football on I stick around, but I won't go looking for it.

Good luck against the Turks.

Thanks.

I don't really watch basketball either, in fact I haven't watched any of the games. But since it's the World Championship and stuff, I try to keep up to date with the results on the news. I really want Argentina to get the gold medal, just like in the 2004 Olympics it would be cool.

It is always cool to win gold. We did today. Just google Marit van eupen and you will see. Are you Argies any good at that? I don't think I ever saw Argentina.

Awesome! congrats.

I don't think we're that good at rowing, but apparently Milka Kraljev and Lucia Palermo representing Argentina were #5 on the "Final C"....whatever that means, haha.

Well lets just say Marit van eupen won the gold in the A final. So it basically means that they suck.;)

I've been following it... not watching every game but keeping up with the results, USA with Wade, LeBron and Carmelo Anthony are the strongest. But Argentina and Spain are looking pretty good too, Serbia didn't impress me at all and now they're out. USA vs Argentina in the fnal would be really fun to watch, I hope it happens....

The final will probably be USA vs. Arg. or USA vs. Spain.

USA is gonna seek revenge for what happened in 2004, but we all know this is NOT the year of revenges history will repeat itself (SEE Brazil vs. France, Argentina vs. Germany, and Germany vs. Italy in the World Cup...hehehe )

Inter won the Italian Supercup against Roma 4-3, they were losing 3 -0 in the first half... Adriano played like shit and was substituted fro Crespo who scored a goal, Figo was the hero scoring the decisive goal. This seems like their year...

Yep. With most of the other "big" teams out of the way, and having Crespo back...it sure looks like it is.

Sorry I didn't think there was a pending business between Holland and Portugal before the WC? was it on the Euro Cup? (I've been kinda out of date on European football until recently, I'm trying to catch up with everything )

hahah, USA first defeat ever with NBA players was to Argentina in the 2002 World Cup that Serbia won and then we all know what happened at the Olympics... so this game is kinda becoming a classic. Anyway I'll be happy with either team wininng the WC... for some reason I never liked Spain in almost anything, I mean just talking about sports...

Yes semi final Euro 2004 they won and they desevered the win that day. On the world cup? No not if you ask me. Anyway they are a team that is of the same strenght as we are and yet we always have a tough match against them, and we usually lose in the important matches against them.

haha I'm rooting for Argentina and Spain. I would root for USA but I don't know...if USA wins it'll go to their heads besides, they have the NBA and are historically without a doubt the best country in Basketball overall...so I'm rooting for the "breath of fresh air" hehe.
