Argentina v US - who you got?

[Manu'sMagicalLeftHand]

All these foreigners supporting Argentina =

If we play like and get an early exit but all these yanquis get off the bandwagon, it'll be good.

We don't like you, you don't like us, so shove the Olympics PC speech where the sun doesn't shine. The world hates us and we hate them all. Black, white, yellow or brown, all should die.

[Manufan909]

I ain't no bandwagon fan, and I just realized you're the Argentinian counterpart of whott.

And I'll try to get this thread off the re ed patriotism arguement. Here goes: Who are your picks for the top three spots? I'm going for Argentina-gold, USA-silver, Spain-bronze. To be honest, Spain scares me almost as much as the USA team.

[ATXSPUR]

Some of you take this patriotism a bit TOO seriously. How does rooting for another team all of a sudden make you hate your country?

To be honest I don't give a rat's ass about the olympics and I am ready for the important things to start again (College Football and NBA).

[midgetonadonkey]

No. Go for the team you like best, just like I am.

It is sad that you wish a team other than your country to win the gold.

[Manufan909]

That's what I'm trying to say, man. If America is the land of the free, something as little as sports shouldn't have an affect when people decide how (un)patriotic you are.

[Manufan909]

It is sad that you wish a team other than your country to win the gold.

It is sad that you're blowing this all out of proportion. It's not like I'm hoping they don't even get bronze or something.

I'll be cheering for Coca-Cola and Visa, and I'm sure I'll win...

Now where was I.....oh yea:

[wijayas]

As much as I dislike Kobe, LeBron, Mello, I could not imagine myself rooting for any other country.

Go USA!!!!!

The Olympics are supposed to be about the camaraderie of athletes from different countries playing against each other. This is a great time to see some of the stars of other teams that we'll never see in an NBA jersey. The traitor talk is 'basically re ed'.

Chris Kaman is a fxxking re and traitor for playing for Germany. He does not even speak the language! Dumbass.

[E20]

Lmao

[wijayas]

Argentina plays (played?) some of the most beautiful team basketball I've ever seen in my life. The way they cut and moved the ball was amazing to watch. They play a style unlike anything I have seen before. Plus, they have my second favorite player in the league (and #1 ain't playing). It's stupid to root for a team only because they are from your home country, especially if their main player is a guy who is a horrible representative for your nation.

o Bum, so you are one of the traitors, a la Chris Kaman!

While you are at it, you can go for .

[Ghazi]

the U.S. basketball team only represents 12.8% of the American population.

Nice logic.

[Man In Black]

I'm going to root for the team that likes to stay in the Olympic village, that likes to interact with all athletes from many sports during the whole festival, that wasn't put together for marketing purposes or for extra cash to buy or fix-up an unneeded Bentley, Lamborghini, Hummer or Maybach.

My dad was career Navy and Civil Service his entire working life. But still, Sports and Politics are a sucky concoction.

See what many seem to be missing about the Games are what de Coubertin intended.

L'important n'est pas de gagner, mais de participer.
The important thing is not to win, but to take part.

That is what USA Basketball DOES NOT DO other than show up for the actual game.

GO ARGIES!!!
