Nigeria is better than I thought they were, but yeah, they're a scrub team. Shows how far the ANT has fallen, even though they have some decent young talent as well.

To be fair to them, they're playing without their two best players (Aminu, the one who's playing is another one, I'm not sure if it'S his brother, and Ezeli)
But I thought their physicality would bother Argentina (and Manu) more

Yes. it´s Al Farouq´s brother. Nigeria is missing him and Ezeli, their two best players easy.

About Argentina what can i say, they have found a way to hide their smaller size in the bigs with their guards and small forwards rebounding abilities. I was lucky to watch all preliminary games, and what they did after Australia completely dominated the boards against them is start rebounding with all five players.

I am still not sure if that will be useful in real deal compe ion, but if it works, that pretty much takes away the only advantage most teams have over Argentina, their size.

In the Spurest of ways, Argentina might have a Big 3 that is pretty old, and a not so flashy team, but i have no doubt they have the most corporate knowledge of all teams not named USA, they trust their system, their new and old players know their roles and they play to their strengths.

If a team fails to play very smart against Argentina they have a very good chance of being beaten, even if they have good size advantage.

I can't watch the US at all. Had Kawhi or LMA been part of it or had a couple of the other teams been healthy, I could've seen myself watching them in the medal matches. But it's not fun to watch guys I don't root for during the season destroy teams that are at such an obvious talent disadvantage.

Sounds like 85% of college football games.

Sounds like 85% of college football games.

And that's why I watch almost none of that, too. I keep up with A&M and Penn through articles, but I rarely watch more than three CFB games a year.

Patty has struggled a bit in this game but has come up huge down the stretch, 15 points in the 4th alone by my count.

[kaji157]

Told you here Australia is the only team to challenge USA in that ty Group.

Not saying they are going to win, just that is the only team that can bother them.

If they play a team like Lithuania they are screwed though
