GO Argentina

In honour (Canadian spelling) of the upcoming semi-final match up between Argentina and the U.S.A. I am looking for a video of the Olympic semi-finals between Argentina and the U.S.A.  Anyone know where I can find/download a copy of the complete game?  A copy of the gold medal game would also be great.

I am from Canada and the seeing as our national team is a joke (no wonder Steve Nash no longer wants to play) I am firmly behind Manu and Argentina.  It looks like is going to be a (huge) up hill battle, but I have said to anyone who will listen (like I have a lot of friends who want to hear me talk about Argentina's national basketball team), that if the States loses a game in this Olympics (and I admit this is a big if), it will be Argentina who beats them.   To bad this isn't the gold medal game. 

Let’s hope Manu and the boys have enough gas left in the tank, hit their threes and limit the their turnovers.

Just to clarify...

I should have said that I am looking for a copy of the 2004 semi-final game.

I think CarinaGino20 might have it. I posted a link of it a few months ago, but it doesn’t work anymore.

will not be a good game...

USA will do what needs to be done. There’s too much at stake now, so I don’t think it’s out of line to say that Team America will win comfortably…

agreed...

The Americans should dominate. Unless Manu can orchestrate the Sickest 40 minute Opus of his career the Argies will fall short.

Players get injured when they are tired. Many is tired. If Manu stays healthy, we are all happy. If Argentina wins (or loses) and he makes that ankle worse then none of us win.

I’m thinking these days Many is not nearly as tired as she would be if it were a regular offseason in August, if you catch my drift…

watching this game has been like having your wife and girlfriend show up at the same party…….i just cannot root against manu and fab. i am rooting for the USA – and they are thumping ARG right now, but man, its tough…particularly given the injury to manu. i have no sound here at work so i dont know how bad it is…….

about everything that could go wrong for ARG in the first has. they really needed a hot manu and a hot delfino to have a chance. neither were and then manu got hurt. not even sure that i want to see him come back either……they couldnt get an open look and couldnt hit anything. it was bad, bad , basd for ARG.

the zebras were even giving the US the benefit of the whistle. a couple very poor calls – one in particular when our favorite NOOCH point guard showved manu and got the call. it was terrible.

at this point, i’m just hoping for the best with our Manu.

Scola is truly a star

Wow, after watching the guy tear it up the past two games, what a big mistake for the Spurs to trade him away.

I love LAC.
