How about that perimeter defense? It looked pretty bad early on.Quote:

the good news for ARG is that they're experienced enough to not get dragged down by a big loss... the bad news is that father time might be here for them...
Sure, and San Emeterio looks better than Durant for US.Quote:

What surprised me about Argentina basketball is how they have no youth at all to help the team that won gold in 2004. They don't have a single decent player below 30. On would have think that the amazing success in 2004 would have push kids to play some basketball. Guess it didn't happened and they still only care about soccer.
What's the score at the half?

Maybe they should ask this guy to play.

You can't take anything away from Spain either... they're on their own great generation themselves...
Argentina v. France
July 31, 2012
Should be fun.
Sons, don't forget that Argentina doesn't have Africa near by to pad their team with black athletic guys like France and Spain, tbh...
Calderon with the stupid foul up 27...
Lots of fun.
Yep, good point. Argentina dine fine at the latest U17 championship. Maybe it will give something good at the professional level.Quote:

They have great coaches and very skilled players, but they lack size.
Delia and Deck are good examples.
BS foul on Manu
This is actually Delfino's first game in like 3 months, IIRC...
ARG came back from a 26 pt deficit on the 06 World's and missed a three to win it. I don't think they're very interested in showing their stuff tonight. Besides, they always lose this classic friendly game to spain before big tournaments.
Spain does have the roster to content for Gold TBH
Manu 2/10... shades of the last game in the WCF...
Nocioni showing toughness on Iblocka...
Chandler gonna be frustrated Tuesday, tbh...
