Originally posted by cardenales View PostSpain can beat USA. In the friendly game, USA won but Scariolo did not show all his cards. Spain play the entire game man to man and they only loose by one. This time, Spain will come with everything and expect all kinds of zone defense.

thats more important how well you've become as a team, and this "B" team shown me more prospect than the superstars including "A" team before. This is not NBA area, this is international area, and worlds basketball level is getting closer day by day, so because of that, soon your players athletic abilities efficieny will reduce minimum, and that day you'll care much more to pick team players instead of picking the superstars..

Considering that the A team won Gold at the tougher olympics where better international players participate by an average over 20+ points, how do you figure that the B team is better considering their struggles against BRazil and a weakened Spain?

Without Hubris they would have even much better record.

Still, Brazil is as arrogant in soccer as Amerians are in basketball, but everyone loves the Brazilians and not the Americans. That was the main point, the constant bitterness against "American arrogance" when other countries exhibit the same attitude with similar success and don't get nearly the crap we do for it.
