    The Rules learned in the Prediction game.
    1: Brazil is always disappointing
    2: Never dismiss Argentina solely because of age.
    3: Never bet against Spain in a knockout game, unless it is against the US.

    Even though Taylor had made some key plays, Huertas is still better than him. He then scored the go ahead bucket. Barbosa was subbed by Garcia, which makes sense, to defend Shved, who then brilliantly exploited the mismatch with Nene to score a big three. So, no blame on Magnano in this one.

    Game of the tournament so far! Both teams deserve to win to be honest but that 3 PT of Fridzon at the end was epic!

    (Both teams did miss a lot of FT's though)

    Even though Brazil lost this kind of restores my faith in them, they could definitely give France (or on the off chance Argentina) a great fight.

    I said coach why we practice so much. He said God will bless us after all this hard work. How can I argue with that !

    Russia in last two years just lost to France in last semi-finals of euro 2011...

    to me they are just behind USA and Spain.

    this game was a great lesson to our team, today was the time to lose, 2nd or 3rd place, whatever, ARG or FRANCE? is the same... i prefer France on 4 finals.

    I have to say, Russia-Brazil put on one of the best performances I've ever since. I think only Manu's buzzer beater against Serbia & Montenegro in 2004 had a better finish!

    I still believe Brazil is going to get 2nd place. France lacks big men, Argentina lacks depth, Russia lacks athleticism, and Lithuania is old

    Russia doesnt lack athleticism and France has decend big men, they are both better teams. Spain and Argentina are also a level or even two above them, not to mention USA. For me it would be quite a surprise if Brazil manages to go to 1/2 finals and fight for medals.
