[The Final] Argentina - Spain

[juli_rc]

We disagree, but my point is that Spain could have played a final with a more competitive opponent than Argentina.

Yes, like 2006...

Rule out Greece. It's not the point. Simply you were not the toughest opponent for Spain.

Congratulations to Spain on 1st place.

Spain can also thank Djordjevic. If he was any other coach, 20+ for Serbia.

jajajajajajajajajajajajajajaja this forum is brilliant,radicals and jealous everywhere.

[Mr Chacho]

Serbian fans needs to learn some lowliness. You could have won, but your ass was kicked against two worst teams who played better and had more guts.

And about Greece, your roster was made by Antetokounmpo and very bad shooters, everybody saw the problem except your coach.

Do not belittle the Argentinian NT. They fought hard, they eliminate such a huge teams. You know what?. A lot of teams underrated us and argentina and this was a great mistake. And it is a disrespect for any team.

Firs of all,I crtisized my national team ,who isn`t lazy can check that .About this I m loser,I don`t know what metter is Serbia win in quarter-final with me ,except I m Serbian ? About Yugoslavia,90s after breakup ,on Eurobasket 1997,1999,2001,Mundobasket 1998,2002 ,where we won gold medal,most of players were Serbian,Djordjevic,Divac,Bodiroga,Danilovic,Stojak ovic,Obradovic,Jaric,except Scepanovic and Paspalj who are Montenegrins .So ,you are wrong informed ,or you are cheeky like players who reppresent your team .

Ofcourse we can disagree. In my opinion Argentina won easily all the mid level teams (Poland, Russia, Nigeria). Then they beat Serbia and France (first level teams). They had no pressure in these games. On paper these teams had better rosters but as it seemed no better teams.

In the final they couldn't beat third team in a row. It was the first game that they faced pressure and they simply failed to delivere.

Ok then. Spain confronting Argentina was the most interesting match up you could have. Satisfied now?

Argentina shoots the ball really bad today. A closer game could had happen if we shoots just average.

People always jealous and discredit the dominating teams and sportsmen.

I remember boxing fans were saying ''Klitschko brothers kill boxing'', ''heavyweight division died'', ''they dominate becuz they're cheating'' and blah blah. It's normal. Fans want to see competitiveness. When somebody is perfect and dominates, people dislike that. That's why boxing fans hated Klitschko, bball fans still hates Spain.

I sided Argentina since I always like underdogs as any person reacts. But we should give the credit to Spain and accepting some things: Spain is the most succesfull bball country of 21st century just behind USA. Marc Gasol is better than Jokic and Gobert. Prime Pau was matchless and Spanish guards are always elite players.

Beside these facts, I don't like Rudy too

[Katastroika]

Congratulations to Spain. Deserved title.

No, it not was the most interesting game. But Argentina was in the final by eliminating such a hard teams. That's all. It is easy, who reach the final are simply the best. It is a game of result.

Anything can happen at one game and that's the factor of luck. Campazzo scored like crazy the day before and he was mediocre at best today. I mean, you can not judge a team's value out of just one game. Serbia is at every aspect a better team than Argentina, no matter a couple of random wins or losses.

Argentina Gold Medal in 2004 is just because the US defeat Spain in the QF. Argentina match up better than Spain against that US team.
Maybe France have a chance today, but they didn't have it against Argentina.

It just a match up issue.

Yes, like 2006...

He probably means like 2009, 2011 or 2015.

This Spain NT has always won the finals “easily”.
