Group D, Day 2, Spain vs New Zealand

[Saskibaloia]

I'm hoping that the Lads from across the Tasman are able to pull of this amazing upset however, I'm sure that the Spaniards will bounce back and ensure that they come up with the "W".

Just like their cousins across the Tasman Sea (Aussies), Kiwis will always put up a fight until the end and ensure that all of their bullets are used.

As we have seen on the first day of action, anything can happen in major sporting events such as this and the perfect example is the Aussies coming close to a defeat in the hands of rising Middle Eastern Basketball Nation: Jordan.

I'm predicting for the All Blacks to come up with a 5 point lost.

All world will be waiting for another Spain loss, but it is highly unlikely ;/ Go All Blacks - make those babies cry again. It was fun to watch when JCN started to cry and lie down on the flour after he realized that Spain is fuc_ed.

Hey, take it easy, man. If you don't, maybe you won't live long enough to see Lithuania beating Spain. Stress is a bad thing.

If you are proud of your country when it doesn't win, you are what, a patriot? I you are proud of your NTs when they win you are arrogant.

I'm the first on criticizing my team or my players when they do something wrong, but it just doesn't seem fair to say that they are overrated when they are actually winning and proving to be among the best in those sports. Rafa Nadal is the number 1 because his results, and the football and basketball teams are the current Europe and (to the moment) World champions because they earned it ON THE COURT. If they have managed to be the best how can they be overrated?

New Zeland is the one man team they have no chance yet again this is basketball and everything is possible

Spain is a fab nation that deserves every single bit of its success.

Yesterday, at half time I had the same feelings as last year´s Serbia-Spain match:I knew we could not win France
The situation is very similar to last Eurobasket, today we´ll suffer to win NZ as we did to GB, the problem for today.......We don´t have Pau
However, I think we should win clearly

In Poland you had Pau Gasol who was out of shape and Spain had struggled first few games before he got into the grove. I believe we would have smacked you one more time in the finals if it wasn't for Pau Gasol who made the difference. As I said before WC I am not sold on Spain yet they have to prove they can cruise to the finals without Pau.

it is not just one nation...catalonians,,basques,andalusians etc etc etc..we are talking about many many nations...and more than 17 autonomous communities

[Luíz for 3]

I hope SPAIN get a trash win over NZ, to take the things back to their natural places!!

it is not just one nation...catalonians,,basques,andalusians etc etc etc..we are talking about many many nations...and more than 17 autonomous communities

But they don't refuse playing for the Spanish NT!!! See the case of Pau Gasol, Marc Gasol, Juan Carlos Navarro, Ricky Rubio and Álex Mumbrú, all from Catalonia.

Let's say that this is at least a moot point. I'm andalusian. There are almost no andalusians that doesn't consider themselves spanish. And it's like that in almost all Spain. It's in Catalonia, Basque country and maybe Galicia where there are more people that doesn't feel they are spanish. But most people here (and especially out of the territories I said before) consider that we are one nation.

And please let's leave it there before this turns into a political discussion.

i am mainly talking about catalonia,basque country and galikia...anyway i think(i am sure) that these territories would prefer to have their own countries..

i really believe that if spanish goverment one day finally accept their right for self determination spanish national teams would never play again at the high level we all see nowdays

but you are right let's stop this conversation

You're proving you really don't know what you're talking about. And I'm talking about electoral results here, not about what I think or feel. You should take a look before doing that kind of statement.
