SI is not a global magazine - they cover US sports well but their opinion on the Worlds is useless

according to what I have seen so far, the chance of beating Argentina is too slim. After a certain level, you need to activate your experience and unfortunately we have a lack of this experience. As SI says, we are through a transition phase but I think this phase is a promising one.

semi f. :

argentina-spain

usa-greece

final:

argentina-greece

I feel like USA will be upset at the end.

Greece over USA for the final.. :unsure: :unsure: :unsure:

GS1905, you could have said "Good luck Greece, I hope you do it"! That would have been the neighborly thing to say.

Greece buzzer beater against Australia:

Thanks for this Platona.

Some pretty smooth shooting from Spanoulis and finesse layups from both him and Papaloukas, in the match vs. China. As for the buzzer-beater vs. Australia, all I can say is what confidence Zisis must have had to bury the Aussies with a trey. Great steal too to start that play.

I liked the title of the news report: Finale for strong nerves (finale gia gera nevra)

The thing about Parker's comments about Greece being slow is that they aren't really that slow, they are deceptive. They have so many weapons that they can afford to not run full-throttle at the basket, they can pass around till the time is right, wear the other defense down. This team has it all, including the muscle at centre with Laz and Sofo who are not afraid of any matchup. Once the Yanks start panicking, it's over for them...

Hellas all the way baby! OMADARA MOU ESY!

Hey if he doesn't think we can beat them, that's his choice.

Good for coldylan to give us his vote of confidence. Good luck vs. Argentina. (no irony)

Guys,

does anybody know how we can watch Greece vs. France?

I have paid registered in mediazone but they don't stream the game live,

but only after 12 hours (and there is no way that I won't know the

result after 12 hours).

I checked espn2 and they broadcast only USA vs. Germany while at

at the time of the game Greece vs. France they have a Lacrosse game or

something. These guys are unbelievable.

If you live in the U.S., Espn2 will televise live at 3:30 am et
Are you sure about that? I checked at nbatv and they say that espn2 will televise the game, but at espn2's schedule they say that they have a Lacrosse game.

I thought NBA TV would play all quarter games live, but the site shows TBA.

I'm streaming mediazone, here in Canada, they will have it live, and I will sacrifice some sleep in order not to have somebody spoil the result for me, or suffer the entire day wondering what happened.

3:30 am, I'm there! If the picture quality is anything like the Tony Parker interview, I'll be very happy, that was crystal clear.

Semis vs. USA will be at 6:30am Friday.

I have a feeling this game isn't as easy as it looks, whether they have Tony Parker or not. The way Greece should play is the same way like they played vs. China. Pressure defense, attack the basket, & make the opposition force turnovers. I know Greece can do it, but it's not going to be easy.
