Isn't Born in the USA a protest song?

 

[moai]

A close game was always possible since Spain resorted to the same bullshit tactics in 2008

they once again finish with a silver where they belong, 2nd place for a 2nd-tier country

also as a sports fan i can't relate to a team that does not give their best effort against brasil only to evade the usa on the semifinals. that was shamefull. i know it's a cliche but to be a true champion you must beat everyone and spain only wanted to secure that silver.

 

[thekad]

Even with the help of the refs, Spain didn't have a chance. Imagine if all of our big men didn't have to sit out because of injuries.

 

[DMczaf]

I love how the players go to Doug Collins, they did it in 2008 too.

 

[Akkad]

See you volleyball chokers, this is how you do it, both basketball teams with the gold.

All this celebrating from the USA team: classless or harmless?

 

[mrklaw]

Are the BBC keeping the extra channels to cover the Paralympics? I'm a but worried because aren't channel 4 broadcasting them?

 

[eznark]

I hope the world gets better at sports before Rio. This shit is embarassing. Euros should just stay home and let American face off against China.

 

[GimMick]

Lmao @ french handballers pulling the Bolt signature move.

 

[Jezbollah]

I imagine this is what the English feel when they're watching their national team defend the game they invented; laying waste to countries like

anyhow, absolutely stunning performance by Team USA. you've done this country proud.

So who has won the last couple of World Baseball Classics?

p sure it is classless if you are black but a show of heart if you are white, but I may need to consult my handbook to be sure.

 

[h3ro]

Nobody expected this close match, congrats Spain. See the yankies in this thread whinning and doing damage control was great.

And congrats to the americans, of course.

BBC has radio live coverage only. Maybe video highlights too.

I hope the world gets better at sports before Rio. This shit is embarassing. Euros should just stay home and let American face off against China.

LOL

Glad to see Korey's alt account going strong.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Yall cant mess with the US

 

[santi_yo]

Fuck yeah France wins and Spain loses

 

[Parch]

The dream team novelty was so 90's. Get the NBA out of the olympics. I even wonder if basketball should even be in the olympics, like baseball.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

All this celebrating from the USA team: classless or harmless?

Because no one else has celebrated this olympics?

Is that a lecture series?

Ian Thorpe is a dead-set legend.

Sorry, bro. You must be confusing baseball for a real sport.

Yeah... but... shhhhhh

 

[Superimposer]

You non Americans with your apparent inability to read a clock.

Edited. Commentators here were going on about how "that's the ball game". Also, I clearly can read the clock, since I said in my original post that there are 37 seconds left.

Well done ladies and gentlemen.

Channel 4 say they'll have online streams. They probably won't be as good as BBC but they'll still hopefully be functional

We are the champions is about gay rights I believe, but nobody cares in sports.

 

[thefro]

Wonder who will take over from coach K. He's done a great job.

Should be Brad Stevens since NBA head coaches are trash.

EVERYDAY I'M SHUFFLIN'....

 

[Oozer3993]

indeed, it was pretty obvious USA was gonna win this. Same if USA has to play soccer against Spain in WC2014.

 

[Nolan.]

Thorpie! teaching people how to swim what a man.

Sorry, bro. You must be confusing baseball for a real sport.

US team did not choose the song fool. lol.

The WBC is actually a lot of fun. Bum ho lee!

Channel 4 has the rights for the Paralympics. I'd guess the BBC may still have radio coverage.

 

[Nekki]

Congrats US on Basketball gold!

Good job Spain too. Russia took bronze from us :/


BTW, since they're adding Rugby and Golf for 2016, what are they removing??

 

[jett]

Awesome basketball championship this olympics. USA killed it obviously.

 

[StealthGoblin]

Well Brits are running this shit

Appears everyone makes that mistake. I seem to remember it being played at half-time at a big American Football match.

Its like when people don't know that 'Every Breath You Take' by The Police is a song about stalking someone. I've heard that song so many times at weddings its unreal.

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

The Bronze match(Russia vs Argentina) was awesome

the commies play great team Bball

Baseball and softball were dropped

 

[RukusProvider]

Spain, BYE BYE! It's nice to dream, I'm sure.

Ice cold.

No.... It's definitely not about that. It talks about the problems for the vets of the vietnam war. I wouldn't call it a protest song though.

Yeah but we'll play any old song at a football game since it isn't an international competition
