How embarrassing.

You just got beaten by the Frogs in a sport they don't give a fuck about.

You might say 'well we don't have our best players', but neither does Australia and we're still into the semi-finals.

Nobody here gives a shit about your queer little sport either. It would be like you beating us in a cricket tournament.

I care about hanging shit on you, not the basketball itself.
You really got us this time!

Wait until you find out that international teams play on a court smaller than the WNBA.
LOL no one cares about this league in the slightest.

Only about 900k Americans tune in to FIBA world cup. Even when it's a "big game".

14 million tune into the Kentucky Derby.

So to give you an idea of how little we care about this, we tune in 14 times the rate for an animal we turn into glue.

Hopefully it's a wakeup call for the Olympics.

How do soccer countries ensure they have all their stars for the FIFA World Cup?

Better pay? One overarching organization?

The starting core of this team are players from the Boston Celtics..... So HA!!!! Fuck Boston.

I don't give much clout to this loss, only because so many top tier NBA players quit the US team, so we didn't have our best representatives out there (IMO)

You sound mad, bro. Don't worry, the US is still awesome at women's soccer.

We won the gold medal in women's hockey as well. A Canadian player cried, threw her silver medal on the ice, and refused to wear it at the medal ceremony.

they don't have to use pay as an incentive it is a great honor to win a world cup or even be on the team because it is every 4 years and the global/historical importance of it. a lot of non american soccer players are also extremely wealthy already.

I'm really into sports and I ended up missing this entire tournament didn't even know it was on.
