World Cup Day 8 discussion

Basketball is the number ONE sport in Lithuania, they are incredibly passionate about it, I’d say he’s trying to cover his arse, there country will consider this as a very poor tournament.

No commentators saw it till there was a replay, I didn’t hear the Lithuanian coach complain about some of the crap calls that went on Gobert that made him sit for long periods and got Lithuania back into the game while there big was whacking every one and no calls. Swings and roundabouts. Move on.

I saw the comments from Dainius Adomaitis as more of a criticism of the inconsistency of refereeing from one game to the next as opposed to Australia's tactics.

What’s the point of a video replay system if you don’t use if?

as per the fiba rulebook the refs can't review a call they didn't already pick up. biggest issue is that you've got three refs all missing a crucial call that my 4 year old could see.

I can’t blame Lithos for going off in the press conference. They got screwed. What’s the point of a video replay system if you don’t use if?

Their ending reminds me of what happened to Aus v Spain with the charge/block call.

FIBA cannot be relied upon to simply run a clean game.

Lithuania got the calls all day, yes it was the wrong call at games end but that was just the get square for their all game mistakes.

Don’t no there names but they no basketball, it’s so refreshing to hear professionals actually talking about the game and not ramble on about some private school they went to or Heal plug his mates or players he has some thing to do with.

Gaze is part of the FIBA world feed.

Meanwhile Fox decided to overlay the two games they broadcast per day with poorer commentary from a booth in Australia. Why? Who knows. A waste of money other than keeping Heal from the dole queue.

So, if the Greeks beat the Czechs, can they make it?

Argentina
Poland
Serbia
Spain
USA or Czechia or Brazil
Czechia or Brazil or Greece
France
Australia

Why would Fox get Russell and Heal to commentate when Gaze is the FIBA commentator?

"Love those two commentators, the English bloke is superb and his American side kick is great as well."

Anyone know their names?

Meanwhile we have Derwayne and Heal on USA-GRE. *vomit*

Great game, free hit to Australia now against France. Love those two commentators, the English bloke is superb and his American side kick is great as well.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

QFs confirmed for us.

Refs screw France

Nando De Colo doesn't milk the time (prick) but hits the jumper (legend).

Even for other results to go our way it's always done the hard way.

What a sweat this is.

Just like in war.

Allez Francais.

Feels like giannis will go to another level in this game against his fellow nba plauers

Czechs leading Brazil up by 30 in the fourth quarter so will win. Assuming US win all their games and in CZE-GRE the former keep shocking we could play them in the Round of 16. Best case scenario?

What if LTU beat FRA tonight. Both 3-1 so FRA game still needs to be a victory?

Let's get Heal to sack him.
