Are you rooting for USA or Argentina??

[mabber]

I'm an American, and I will root for the US. In fact, I'd like nothing more than to watch Bruce hold Manu to a ty game. .

Bowen will own Ginobli if they play each other.

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.

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.

[ducks]

dude he should have tooted

Wade<Manu???....step away from the crack pipe

Maybe he meant that on the international level?

So who are you rooting for?

I'm going for Zimbabwe, nobody can stop those 8ft 120 inch vertical dunking mother ers.

My post was in response to this:

I've got too much pride in the USA to root against them. I love this country, go USA!

Now, if the USA team s up like they did in the 04 Olympics, I think it's free game to root against them.

But to answer your question in a creative way: I'll root for whoever I have to for all Spurs to come back healthy for the regular season.

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 iden y 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?

Give me a friggin break

blah blah blah

Dude, just shut the up. You can't sound more like an idiot with your posts, so you are basically just being repetetive.

U...S...A, U...S...A, U...S...A!

Yeah!

Love it or leave it baby!

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.

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…

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.

What about your boy TP and his country?

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 er.



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's always interesting when someone calls someone an idiot but the best they can do is come up with four letter words. I am sure you can soliloquize better than that. Oh, by the way here is the correct spelling forl "repe ive".

[Kori Ellis]

Oh, by the way here is the correct spelling forl "repe ive".

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