No, the US didnt get any help in 04 so they just want to avoid having the same outcome handing them those nice calls.
Show us how to lose classlessly Argentina...just like you showed us how to win classlessly over the past 4 years.
So ref bashing is allowed now? I am sure Tim Duncan appreciates that.

The defending Olympic champs go down... and so does Manu... ugh.
Were they supposed to? All that matters is who wins.
Seriously though, at least you are man enough to acknowledge the win. You seem to be one of the few who is a good sport.
As much as I'm a fan of Manu, the U.S. team is just a more talented team.
It would take the Argentinian team a lot of good team work, red hot shooting and a disorganized U.S. team to win. That's what they did last time, unfortunately, with an injured Manu, luck wasn't on their side this time.
Hats of to the Argentinians for keep it relatively close even without Manu.
Well looks like Scola can play in the big leagues... don't we have his draft rights?
Can you stop including a hole freaking country when you respond to one or a few re s?
If I would do the same and judge USA for your ac udes... well, hope you can guess...

This will be my last post since Im not much of a poster, I prefer reading. Let me put this with an analogy with soccer (yes, I know, soccer sucks for you). Everytime I watch Argentina play soccer I expect them to play excellent and score great goals against everyone (including our archi-rivals, Brazil) given the kind of players we have. In your case, being from the US you should be happy for the win, because after all like you said its all that matters, but I would be a little dissapointed, that's all.Were they supposed to?

Congratulations and go for your deserved gold medal
Team USA must be a good group.
They can pull a win even with Mike D'antoni on the bench.
1. not true
2. I know what is going on in your country. You've got fake imagination about being a patriot, being proud etc.
The olympics are not important because of the money.Now can you honestly tell me the same is true for Manu and the guys on Team Argentina? Of if they were Poland?
No prestige, no respect, and damn sure no money...is that the way it works in Poland and Argentina with their Olympic Basketball players?
Tell me again who is doing this more for material(and otherwise) gain? Truely, all the NBA players are getting out of this is a gold medal...and literally nothing else. Not even good will from their countrymen...
Prestige and history - yes.
All in all Olympics are the most global sports compe ion through the ages.
Yoiu dream toi be there you train to be there, you giving maximum effort not to fail.
In Poland when we have a medal chance and a sportsmen blew the chance he/she is all over the "papers".
Someone with chances but not huge ones gets gold, he is autaomatic hero in Poland! (Shot put men - Majewski! As an example)
You've got many chances of winning gold, and most of the gold medalists are not known by you and the rest of americans. You know only about the gys/gals which are in the news. (well all our medal (or good place) chances are in the news, because there is not that much)
I would hope for poland to have the same training posibilities as americans do. All in all it's a different planet, believe me.
Fair points. With the track record of USA Basketball since 2000, I am very impressed with the outcome.This will be my last post since Im not much of a poster, I prefer reading.

Plenty of Americans were rooting against team USA, so there should be absolutely no reason to generalize us all....and as well many that were rooting for team USA and doing so in a classy fashion. I look in this thread and there are about 2 or maybe 3 posters talking heavy ...and we were far outnumbered by the Argies that talk ...and have been for 4 years now.
Hopefully we've seen the last of ArgScolaFan.
Your ac ude as a hole amazes me
Isnt' this Krykrswsky coach a Polish guy?
So Polandszdfgm should calm down and start to read the Polish news about how much Poland has contributed to put a gold medal on the neck of Mike D'antoni.
What an amazing task.
coaches don't get medals, genius

Nocioni goes against the advice of the Argentinian doctors and plays!
Unreal..
Really?
Incredible.
Huh?we never did US
What Polish arrogance.
No. Not for NBA players. Not more than they get for playing in the NBA.The olympics are not important because of the money.
Prestige and history - yes.
Not in America they aren't.All in all Olympics are the most global sports compe ion through the ages.
Yoiu dream toi be there you train to be there, you giving maximum effort not to fail.
NBA Players don't.
I don't know what to tell you man...America is America and Poland is Poland...I don't see what's worth getting upset about. You think it'd be different if things were reversed,..but it wouldn't be. Human nature is human nature...In Poland when we have a medal chance and a sportsmen blew the chance he/she is all over the "papers".

Tell me Poland...do you still get excited about what an amazing invention your computer is?
It's like that.
@ the polish guy running smack at America.
STFU kid.
I love you too man
That's what I wanted to say - it's different in america. You like to realese your own product and "ride" on it. Saying it's the best.No. Not for NBA players. Not more than they get for playing in the NBA.
Not in America they aren't.
NBA Players don't.
I'm in a way of watching do antary "Bigger Stronger faster" (side effect of being an american)
America is young country so they don't have the history in ancient olympics. And the olympics are not americans product.
Human nature is human nature.I don't know what to tell you man...America is America and Poland is Poland...I don't see what's worth getting upset about. You think it'd be different if things were reversed,..but it wouldn't be. Human nature is human nature...
But the culture is different.
Am I getting upset?
I think not. I would love to have perfect world, without war, disease
, hunger etc. I want every human to be happy (in a perfect world).
And I'm not hating on americans as many would think.
I just want to make some havoc and make people think about some things - that's why I'm exaggerating. You need strong statments for that in conversations IMO.
YUP, it's old and stuff but I still can play NBA Live on itTell me Poland...do you still get excited about what an amazing invention your computer is?
btw. I got laptop with vista - soI have to work on changing it to have an internet on it.
This laptop is amazing machine, but I'm still behind the techician issues about it. I've got internet camera and stuff. But for me it's not usefull.
I'm qutie simple and with age I'm getting more simple and I want less things as my properties.
Cheers
STFU kid.
