never understimate Argentina,at home or where ever you play us.argentina... in rugby... at home... for the opening game of OUR world cup... WTF
this is probably the best Arg.rugby team of all times.
we never underestimated them.
the point is we sucked big time !
you dind suck.
what happened whas that our Defense was perfect,and real taugh to be penetrated.
man... your defense was indeed awsome but we played so poorly... it was much more a french loss than an argie win...
but at the end of the day, i really hope your country will integrate an International Tournament, i'd love to see them playing the 6 Nations (since half of your players play in France)
That sounds familiar - you french are sure keen on being losers.
Were are you from?
What have you won lately?
He`s from Slovenia... And he`s just referring to how you are saying that it was much more of a French loss than the other team`s win again, true or not.
Pietrus is probaly the best french on defense for years. But being a 6'7 PF doesn't help him.
I believe it was both. France sucked in the first half and the Argies were strong enough to make a comeback impossible.He`s from Slovenia... And he`s just referring to how you are saying that it was much more of a French loss than the other team`s win again, true or not.
indeed... and you are sure keen on being a ing stupid son of a ... herm.. sorry mate but you sound quite stupid
Nice boxscore for a man with a dislocated shoulder
Poor Tony. It is the story of his life, he is always making perfect assists just so his teammates miss. He has that luck wherever he plays, no good enough scoring players around him on the Spurs or on the NT. He must be wandering why the Spurs front office does not do something to get him some good players, like the Suns did with Nash or that other fellow Kidd who they always seem surrounded by excellent shooters.
see what I´m saying?,that´s understimation my friend.
can´t you just recognize that we shuted you down?
i recognize it's "understimation" dude! the fact is : i'm just pissed off with this embarassing loss... but hey, it could have been worst, we could have lost against England
And the last two points of Parker above Dirk !! funny...
From EuroBasket
" Hero: There's a few to choose from - Tony Parker, Pietrus or Kirksay. Parker wasn't on the court when the other two spearheaded France's game-changing second quarter run, but he did lead the way with 23 points. To a certain extent it was the playmaker who put the final nail in Germany's coffin with big plays in the third quarter and early in the final period when Dirk Bauermann's men looked like they might still stand a chance. However, Pietrus' and Kirksay's timely baskets really dealt a big blow to Germany's confidence at the opportune time. So joint honours to all three players. "
I guess we, french posters, should go ing and trolling in the Slovenian team thread.Nice boxscore for a man with a dislocated shoulder
Let's start a good old rivalry!
France beats Germany; Lithuania reaches quarters with win over Italy at European championship

MADRID, Spain (AP) -- Tony Parker scored 23 points and France defeated Germany 78-66 Saturday, moving closer to a place in the quarterfinals of the European basketball championship.
Florent Pietrus and Tariq Kirksay both added 12 points for France, while Dirk Nowitzki led Germany with 28 points.

"In the preliminary round we didn't move the ball well, and sometimes just watched Tony Parker make plays," Pietrus said. "The players were more active and ... it was easier for us to score and win the game."
Lithuania and Slovenia reached the European championship quarterfinals after winning second-stage games in Group F Saturday.
Unbeaten Lithuania needed a hard-fought 79-74 win over Olympic runner-up Italy, while Slovenia kept a perfect record with a 66-51 victory over Turkey.
Toronto Raptors center Radoslav Nesterovic led Slovenia with 13 points. NBA players Hidayet Turkoglu and Mehmet Okur scored 17 and 14 points, respectively, for Turkey.
Both Germany and France played a high-tempo game at the start, but back-to-back unsportmanlike fouls on Steffen Hamann and Patrick Femerling allowed France to take a 21-13 lead.
Leading 26-20, France used a 15-2 run, ignited by Pietrus' 3-pointer, to push ahead 43-30 in the second.
Nowitzki carried his struggling team into halftime, hitting a fade-away 3 at the buzzer to narrow the deficit to 47-39. The Dallas Mavericks forward had 19 points by halftime and Parker led France with 11.
After Germany cut the deficit to 47-45 with 8:13 left in the third quarter, France closed the period on a 15-4 run and Parker's shooting was near perfect in the final quarter. Nowitzki was held to four field goals in the second half.
"Every time we needed to make a play on either end we couldn't," Germany coach Dirk Bauermann said. "It was one of those games."
The loss leaves Germany needing wins in its final two Group F matches to guarantee a place in the elimination round.
A minute's silence in memory of Italian opera singer Luciano Pavarotti was the only thing that could quiet the Lithuanian fans all night, as its team went up early and led most of the way before closing out the victory.
Rimantas Kaukenas led Lithuania with 22 points while Andrea Bargnani had 15 for Italy. Lithuania also controlled the boards throughout the game, outrebounding Italy 44-29.
In Group E, Russia has six points, one more than both Spain and Croatia. Greece and Israel are tied with four and Portugal has three. Four teams from each group will advance to the quarterfinals, which begin Thursday.
On Sunday, world champion Spain plays Russia, which has already qualified for the quarterfinals. Croatia and Greece meet in a match that could determine which of the two advances and Israel plays Portugal.
France Cruise Past Germany

Turning Point: France used a 15-2 run in the second quarter to turn a 28-28 tie into a 43-30 lead. Florent Pietrus and Tariq Kirksay each had five points in the spurt as Les Bleus took their first double-digit lead of the game.
Hero: There's a few to choose from - Tony Parker, Pietrus or Kirksay. Parker wasn't on the court when the other two spearheaded France's game-changing second quarter run, but he did lead the way with 23 points. To a certain extent it was the playmaker who put the final nail in Germany's coffin with big plays in the third quarter and early in the final period when Dirk Bauermann's men looked like they might still stand a chance. However, Pietrus' and Kirksay's timely baskets really dealt a big blow to Germany's confidence at the opportune time. So joint honours to all three players.
Statistics: Germany - in particular Dirk Nowitzki - couldn't buy a three-pointer. As a team they shot four for 17 with their star player going two for nine. Very uncharacteristic.
I guess we, french posters, should go ing and trolling in the Slovenian team thread.
Let's start a good old rivalry!
give me a break! Yeah you played like , but a lot of that was a result of how good Argentina played. Just give credit where credit is due. This whole "it was much more a french loss than an argie win" bull just makes you look like a sore loser.
IMO the French are going to obliterate the Irish next game.I have a feeling we could meet again if Argentina keeps playing the way they played against France.
EDIT: boy did this thread get hijacked
the choke continues
Wasn't he on one of the summer league teams or in somebody's training camp last year?
