Are you rooting for USA or Argentina??

[Corey8]

I'm wondering rather or not Gino being in the Spurs will prevet you guys from rooting for USA? Thanks and please be classy San Antonio.

[missmyzte]

Interesting first post.
I'm an American, I want the US to win.

[ATX Spur]

I want the US to win as well, but I'd LOVE to see the americans against Argentina in the final.

[dbestpro]

You live in the USA, USA should be your number one team. The USA is about multticulturalism. To be in the USA even you are from an another country and root for a team from another country over the USA is acually a form of racism. I think this really hits home more in soccer than basketball.

[Corey8]

ATX, me 2 :)

I want spur players to not get hurt

[mavsfan1000]

I want USA to win also but if not them than Germany.

So.. US citizens who are military living overseas need to root for the country they currently live in? What a crock!

[Melmart1]

It is called being stationed, not living. And you know the obvious answer to your own, poorly written question, dumbass.
If I am somewhere for three years, I lived there. Now take your agression towards me back to the troll forum where it belongs.

[Shaolin-Style]

US all the way. One guy won't make me cheer against the whole country I live, one player can't even do that for me against the spurs for the nba. I'll go with Argentina if we're losers though.

[Slinkyman]

You should be able to cheer for whoever you want to, it's just basketball. Now if the country you live in went to war i'd hope you stand behind them at that point, but basketball is just a game.

[velik_m]

i'm rooting for Slovenia.

[J.T.]

Manu's my favorite Spurs player but I've got too much pride in the USA to root against them. I love this country, go USA!

Now, if the USA team fucks up like they did in the 04 Olympics, I think it's free game to root against them. But Colangelo and Coach K probably know what they're doing, plus Bruce Bowen will be there. I'd love to see Bruce put the brakes on Manu in the Championship game, that'd be sweet.

[Obstructed_View]

So you have too much pride to root against them unless they aren't dominating. There's a word for fans like that and it rhymes with "sandwagon".

[Sense]

I did not agree with him. I agree with Melmart. I think you should root for the country where you are from, not currently residing. Someone like Alvarez, who was born in Argentina, but has living in the USA 95% of his life, has the right to choose.

I still think dbestpro is retarded.

[Quasar]

Argentina is my favourite team - I want them to win because of Manu...

I don't really care for team USA except for Bowen. I'd like him to win, but I prefer Manu.

If Tim + Bruce were there, it would probably have made a difference :D

[johngateswhiteley]

...ummm....USA stupid.

[dav4463]

I'm rooting for Turkey.

I agree with you. France is filled with black players, but they all speak French. Argentina has Ginobili who was even called Italian at some point in his career...But they all speak Spanish. Slovenia has players who speak Slovenian and Serbo-Croatian and English, but obviously only USA is about multiculturalism. No other country is that advance - melting-pot-wise - as the old USA.

USA is so national/aknowledged that African-Americans judge Latino-Americans while Native Americans steal casino-wise from other Americans, but there was an effort for more than 8 years just to put together an ALL-Stars-American team for a major national tournament. Yes, it is racist not to cheer for a team with such character. (BTW, I really hope USA will be better this year).

[boutons_]

I'm rooting for the better team to win.

I'd like to see some great basketball.

FIBA Americas U18 Men's Finals where USA blew out Argentina wasn't very entertaining.

[Texas_Ranger]

Agentina and Slovenia are my fauvourites. If USA will be the champion that is cool with me, I like their team too.

[smeagol]

Argentina all the way.

[SpursWillOwn]

singapore!!! lee kwan yew all the way!!

[14dave]

Go France!!!!!!!!

[spurschick]

At this point, I'm rooting for everyone. (Interesting that this thread topic didn't include France.) For example, if Argentina is playing China at some point, I'll be rooting for Argentina in that game. If France plays Lithuania, I'll be rooting for France. When Argentina plays France in the first game, I'll be rooting for Argentina. (Sorry, Tony.)

The only point where a question like the thread topic should come into play is if the US plays Argentina, France or Slovenia in the elimination rounds. If and when that time comes, I'll be rooting for no injuries to our Spurs boys above all else, but I will be happy with the outcome for whoever of them takes home a medal.

[leemajors]

i just wanna see some good games, and how the US team fares. i am partial to them, but it's not gonna break my heart if they don't win. i like their team building approach, it's long overdue. i am also rooting for argentina, and hopefully a US/Argentina final.

What an ignorant statement. Sports should transcend racial AND national divisions but of course it's completely understandable for one to root for one's own country IF THEY WISH and not because someone wants to lay down a race-based guilt trip. Please explain how rooting for another country is a form of racism. My family is Italian and Mexican so it would make more sense for me from an ethnic standpoint to root for Argentina, a country full of Italians and latinos. However, watching sports is a form of entertainment and I like rooting for the underdog, I'm not going to innject this whole nationalistic fervor or racial connotations to something I love. Your last statement about soccer doesn't make any sense. What are you trying to imply about soccer, a sport embraced by almost every country on earth...something that cannot be said about basketball.

That said, like the World Cup, I'm rooting for several teams, no injuries to all NBA ballers and good basketball. I'll probably favor Germany and if Argentina/USA matchup I'll probably go with Argentina but I just want it to be exciting above all else.

Slovenia is a huge favorite of mine, obviously :cheer :elephant
But I also want to see Gino, Fabri, Bruce, and Tony and Hedo ( if he plays) all have great games, do well, and above everything stay healthy.


Even though it's going to get emotional come the elimination and medal rounds, I am thrilled that so many people I love and respect are getting the opportunity to compete.
The WC is going to be a really fun time.

So, I see. You are one of those who like to take the context and turn it around. I say be pro America and you find a way to make it anit America. Okay, here is a clause. Exceptions to everyone who is here because their country sent them here. The one thing I hate is watching people who claim to be Americans root against Americans.

[Geezerballer]

The first time I saw Ginobli play was the world b-ball championships in Indy. Was that 02"? The way the Argentinian team played was a thing of beauty. I found myself rooting for them just because of the way they played the game. Back-cuts, down screens, sharing the ball and playing perfect team basketball. The American team was outclassed and played stupid, one on one and they lost. I don't think it had anything to do with not being patriotic or racist, I just appreciate good sportsmen playing the right way.

[dbestpro]

I still think dbestpro is retarded.

You still are a couch troll.

[TheSanityAnnex]

Root for who ever the fuck you want. Fuck the guy calling people rascists.

[dbestpro]

This about Americans who root for other countries. If you are from another country then this does not concern you. You should root for your own country first and then every one else second. In this world today sports has an impact on the world stage. Any American who wishes to root for another country to defeat America should simply go live in that country. If you think it does not matter then you have lived a very sheltered and shallow life.

[spurschick]

Something tells me this thread is going to end up being transferred to the political forum.

One of the main reasons I love international competitions is that it transcends, most of the time, the hell that is going on in the rest of the world. While there are so many countries that hate America right now for political reasons, they are able to separate American athletes from their government and welcome them with open arms. During a time when so many are at odds, it will be wonderful to see so many countries coming together and exhibiting the kind of humanity and sportsmanship on the court that I so wish could be the standard by which we live.

[ponky]

You have no idea what America stands for. You root by ethnic standards it makes you racist. You root for the Mav's it makes you stupid. Your post makes you a couch troll. So I guess you are a stupid, racist couch troll.

Oh yes. By the way. The Hezbollah and the Taliban are the underdogs, ignoramus. So I guess if they had basketball teams you would root for them against the U.S.

I root for France because I am french and you have more fun rooting for a team. I also want to see this growing french generation. i can't wait till they are all in their prime. In a near future France should be a tough matchup for any team including the USA.

My main concern is to enjoy a good tournament with great basketball.
I don't really care abouit who will get the championship.

[GrandeDavid]

I'm an American, I'd root for the USA in basket weaving, basketball, war or anything else. No individual has the power to sway my allegience. Having said that, I wish Manu and Fabricio luck, I like them a lot and hope they do very well. But I'm pulling for the USA.

Regarding Manu, I'm more interested in him kicking ass for the Spurs next playoffs. :)

While I'll be rooting for the USA team, I don't feel obligated to root for them cuz I'm an American. It's a friggin basketball tournament...some of you need to direct your patriotism at more important things :lol

La nota desagradable que dejó el partido fue la severa luxación que sufrió en el codo izquierdo el estelar jugador visitante Héctor Romero, quien fue retirado de la cancha en camilla y trasladado al sanatorio Garay, donde resultó intervenido quirúgicamente.

El primer tiempo (que comenzó con una falta de Emanuel Ginóbili a Romero que derivó en la lesión del venezolano) fue ampliamente dominado por el seleccionado argentino. Esa superioridad de la formación anfitriona nació de la fuerte presión defensiva que se ejerció sobre los venezolanos y un menor cuidado en el traslado del balón hacia el campo rival.

http://www.clarin.com/diario/2006/07...m-01243249.htm



Sin dudas la lesión de Pepito Romero a los nueve segundos del primer cuarto le jugó muy en contra a Venezuela. El jugador encaró al aro argentino en la primera jugada del partido y recibió una falta de Manu. Pero la desafortunada caída le provocó una seria lesión en el brazo izquierdo.

Can anybody translate what this says? It's about Manu Ginobli.

To the true Americans who root for America first and various other teams second welcome to the land of awareness. To the couch trolls who pretend to be American and root for America last., I suggest a reading of Plato's Myth of the Cave. Perhaps you will be able to finally see.

To everyone else who roots for the country of allegiance, That is what you are suppose to do. Some of you have suggested that sports should not be that important and your right. The problem is the propoganda that occurs make it a bigger issue than it should be. The issue of Hilter and Jessie Owens had huge ramifications to the morale of Germany. The actions of Muhammad Ali was instrumental during the years of the civil rights movement. And yes, even the Spurs helped the NBA to advance in the world market because of our players.

America is struggling with its identity because of how many of you think. You have no allegiance to anything but your selfish selves. Americans need to have a little pride. Be a part of the solution not a part of the problem. Sports and politics should not mix. I agree. The problem is in the real world that is not the case.

When it comes to players competing because of nationality then it is simple. Who do you have allegiance to?

I love basketball… plain and simple. FYI, I am supporting my boyfriend's team in the WC, although I have no plans to relocate to his native country. I am thrilled about attending the Group D games in Sapporo City not only to support him, but because I am a fan of the game.

With all the issues going on in the world today, I don't think the WC cheer squad matters at all. Perhaps it’s people such as yourself, that gives way to shallowness with your own pettiness…

[hendrix]

Do you know?

Dude... Pepe Sanchez schooled most of college point guards during his time in Temple. John Chainey LOVED him.
He developed as a great pass-first point guard but then his NBA chances were few since his outside shooting is not dependable.
He commands Argentina's NT since the year 2001 and lead them to a WC 2nd place and a Olympic Gold medal.
His defense is great. He will own TP. I tell you what... mark 2 blocks for Pepe Sanchez already. After Argentina-France, we'll see if those were over TP or not.
He doesnt score much but doesn't need to. Imagine the rest of his game for the starting point guard of the WORLD CHAMPION. (We are, if we consider WC and Olympics at the same level)

Yes, he's not becoming any younger.
He's not 22 anymore, and Prigioni is playing great, but i think he's our man.

Pepe Sanchez is a solid PG, but please settle down a little bit. I don't know if he can "own" TP. TP is one fast fucker.



I loved Pepe when he was in Temple, and was happy when he got drafted by the Sixers, but only played 4 minutes a game or so. He basically got garbage time. He finished 2nd all time in steals in the NCAA, would have finished 1st but he missed about 8 games of his senior season to an injured ankle, at least that's what I remember. He came 11 steals short.

It never fails that someone makes a typo while correcting someone else's spelling.

SANTA FE - Venezuelan star Hector Romero will be out of the 2006 FIBA World Championship after suffering a severe injury to his left elbow in the first game of the Super 4 Tournament against Argentina.

Romero will travel to Caracas and after some evaluations it will be determined if he needs surgery.

He suffered the injury at the start of the game when Manu Ginobili fouled him hard when he tried to penetrate.

After he fell to the floor, he was carried in a stretcher to a local clinic where they inmovilized his elbow.

He will miss at least one month due to injury after suffering a trauma.

Other injured players in the team are Herbert Bayona with a groin injury and Richard Lugo who has problems with his back.

The coaching staff will name a new player for their final trip to Europe prior to the FIBA World Championship.

The funny thing is Pepe had 2 blocks yesterday. Granted, he played opposite Leandrinho Barbosa most of the time.
Ohh.. the fun he's gonna have against TP.
Let's make 3.
3 blocks from Pepe in Argentina - France

Do you have any money or do you need to ask your mother some, loser?

What does me having money have to do with your ridiculous statement of Pepe owning Tony Parker? :lol

I don't even care about Argentina or France but I'm fairly confident that TP can handle Pepe. Makes me laugh just writing "Pepe" :lol

What a funny dude you are :lol
You can't even recognize a bet proposal :lol
I'll save you from the trauma... you may go now.

Pepe Sanchez is cool. He was one of my favorites from the 2004 competition.
I also liked Walter Hermann- his story was so touching.

Of course Gino is my favorite. Fabri is cool too though. :)

I was just trying to get you to actually propose a bet that Pepe :lol will own Tony Parker. I'm not sure how you would do that, but I'm fairly confident that you wouldn't be willing to bet as much money as I would & can.

Pepe :lol
