Spain vs France (EuroBasket 2011 Final)

[bryant362]

Porque hay tanta hipocrecia or parte de comentadores ? menos mal que no estaba aki el jordan sino esta gente es capaz de burlarse de el y decir navarro es mejor que el menos mal ... patriotismo esta por un lado y lo comrendo pero creo q tenemos que guillar por las estadisticas ... comentadores teienen q ser neurales pa q de gusto escuchar q comentes ... eso de un lado como que no ... un lado si pero no to el puto rato macho q cansa esta mierda ..

[someweirdonamedJaime]

@JokerDjo even though I'm spanish, I don't think winning a silver medal is meaningless. But if you want to believe that, go ahead. Too much hating everywhere, this is a SPORT for fucks sake. I'm sick of the "we are better" "your team sucks buahaha", just enjoy the game, no matter who wins as long as game is good and enjoyable. On the other hand, BIG congratulations to MACEDONIA, they are a small country, but got into semis and they congratulated everyone when they lost, that's the way.

[JokerDjo]

@someweirdonamedJaime I got your point. But being macedonia and being spain are two different things. spain is a great team and as a great team you can't play in an international competition thinking "if we finish second that's ok.". when the u.s.a. come to the olypimcs, they came to win. that's the main reason why they're so great.

[JokerDjo]

@someweirdonamedJaime 0:00:06 "estamos seguros que vamos a ganar"... that's why spain won.

[JokerDjo]

well, i don't know why there's a debate. spain sucks, france sucks. i may be a little rough but that's true. the best player on the floor was ibaka and he is not even spanish. i'm european, and the only thing we have to do it's practice. the problem is that you're fighting for shit (eurobosket).

[topspin27es]

@JokerDjo Ibaka is great I like him but u can not say he was the best on the floor....U forget Navarro and Pau my friend . Spain has won all the rest european championship and world championship with out him. And theres no doubt Spain is the 2nd best team....In London we will see if USA is much better than Spain.....

[JokerDjo]

well, on that particular night you can see that spain started to pull away as ibaka came of the bench. sayin' that spain is the 2nd best team may be true but that means not considering some of the great teams in America (such as argentina). anyway being 2nd is fine but not enough... i trully hope that a team will be able to defeat u.s.a. in 2012 (and the following years) but you got to do it with some consitency and not one game every 10 years.

[MrXaxo86]

@JokerDjo What are you, Serbian?? Go watch the nba "show". Here is the real team sport. Argentina is the 2nd best team?? Or Brazil?? They are good teams yes, but no where near Spain, Lithuania, France, Serbia, Russia....

[patiencerunsoutonthe]

@MrXaxo86 Lets see, Argentina has won a gold medal in a global competition which France, Lithuania and Russia never had. Spain has also finished in the top five in every international competition this century which no other country has done except the United States so what are you talking about?

[tetovoteteks]

MACEDONIA <3 <3

[AngeloMateus]

Why does everyone keep slipping? does the euroleague not have those guys that clean the floor like the NBA? I think they should consider having, its less of a luxury than you might think...

@etherealnoob. Tienes razón. Los alemanes tienen un dicho más o menos asi. La compasión te la regalan, pero la envidia hay que trabajársela. Por ahí van los tiros. Salud

USA gone whoop spain in 2012

[19franken95]

@donjigga1. Take it easy, boy, it's still a long way to London. Surely you can win, but you will have to sweat blood to defeat us. You haven't proved to be much better than Spain so save your snotty remarks for summer 2012. Anyway I am confident we can take Gold: if it happens you will hear my laughter very clear over there in Kentucky.

Que felicidad por España! Los 3 mejores del basquet siempre seran U.S.A., España y Argentina! Saludos

[esraretin]

why are spanishes are so different from europeans generally?

[AntonioSaucedo22]

@esraretin

I think you're asking: Why are they better than other Europeans? Hard to say.

[esraretin]

@AntonioSaucedo22 lol i didnt want to start a debate:)

[mrhoopfan1]

I have always liked Calderon's offensive skill set

[AntonioSaucedo22]

Spaniards aren't white? Review your haplogroups. Irish, English and Spaniards --especially Basques-- share 90% of their DNA., both Y and Mt. A little bit less with other Western Europeans. R1a, R1b, and I. They're all there. So if Spaniards aren't white ( less a cultural than a scientific term), most Europeans aren't.

[Sky1green]

lulz, the French are butthurt.

Rudy's fault was an intentionate fault, yes. It happens in many games when a player wants to stop the opponent from at all costs. And it was called. For the entire game Spain was much superior to France. In the final, and in the trashing of France at Group stage.

Now, for talking about intentionate faults when the ball's at the other side of the field, we can always talk about Howards nasty elbowing on Gasol's face on the Olympic Final. And Howard went scot-free.

[darkiddd]

@dudidubidubidu Has hecho la pregunta en inglés mal. Sería Why wouldn't spanish people be true whites? como la has hecho parece que preguntas las razones por las que no lo somos como si dieras por hecho que no lo somos. Puedo parecer un capullo corrigiéndote pero pensé que debías saberlo :)

[dudidubidubidu]

@darkiddd la formulé así a propósito, sé perfectamente lo que estaba diciendo... la persona que lo dijo daba por hecho que no lo somos, y por tanto, asumiendo que eso fuera así, quiero que lo justifique... pero gracias igualmente!

SPAIN: The Best white basket team of history!

[deebs2882]

@Souliban Somebody shove a sock down this dude's mouth...he just doesn't shut up. And for your information buddy white and black are colors not qualities of human beings

[Souliban]

@donjigga1 USA:BLACKS : COUNTRY OF MORE OF 300 MILLION OF POPULATION SPAIN:WHITES :COUNTRY OF 45 MILLIONS OF POPULATION

[donjigga1]

@Souliban What has white and black got to do with it USA is just better+Spain have a black player in Ibaka so whats your point? Population has nothing to do with it.China has more than a billion people in a country thats crazy about the game of basketball but the US are still better.

[Souliban]

@donjigga1 Ibaka is 2 months with Spain,.....and only one,...no 100% ,...or 99% like "France"

[kamurashi]

Je suis fier de nos gars, les espagnols étaient les plus forts en finale rien à dire.

Je regrette la faute indigne de rudy fernandez.

Beau match malgré tout.

[madridwill23]

i heard france teen age 17 6"8 GARDFORD pro run and pro pass! he live in massachustts for university basketball then join NBA, but he born france,thummie

[ntel11]

i'm Greek, and though you have been our nightmare over the last couple years, i have to admit you guys had by far the best and most talented team in the tournament!! La Bomba, Pau, Rudy, Calderon all top players worthy of their glorious career..Congrats champs!!

[ntel11]

i'm Greek, and though you have been our nightmare over the last couple years, i have to admit you guys had by far the best and most talented team in the tournament!! Congrats !!

ES PA ÑAAAA AA AA MMMM OOO OOOUU MM SISI AAA OOOO

[dudidubidubidu]

going back to basketball, i have to say this game was simply amazing.

[dudidubidubidu]

damn can there be morons in the world. for all those wondering, of course serge ibaka is from congo, but it was here in spain that he was given the opportunity as a teen to develop as a basketball player. so he was thankful for that and that's why he got the citizenship. everyone complaining is just full of bullshit. even without ibaka, spain is the best european team right now. so that's that.

[Souliban]

after see all the french national teams with black players (less than 10% of the french population) loose in all competitions,,...cause with white are worse,......what will we the next strategy of France? Rumanian gypsies?

[Souliban]

amazing teams! love from Greece! p.s.: Tony Parker is very sexy ;)

[TheMuujGuu]

Tnx man!!!

[deebs2882]

Anyone explain to me how Serge Ibaka is Spanish? I say this only because of the huge deal he made about being from Africa at the NBA Slam Dunk Contest and carrying the flag out. Nicholas Batum looks more Spanish than Ibaka...

[MatthewGen1]

@deebs2882 he was given Spanish citizenship about 3 months before the beginning on the Eurobasket so he could play for Spain, it just bullshit

[Souliban]

@deebs2882 Yes , and all the french team looks very frenchy, for sure, ...hahahhaha,.....

[Souliban]

@deebs2882 less than 4 % blacks in france,...."good" representation of France,......CAn you imagine Spain playing with Amerindians? or Blacks from America or Spanish Guinea? Colonization too,...buddy

[deebs2882]

@Souliban Obviously you never heard of the term 'francophone'

[Souliban]

@deebs2882 like you hispanophone.....

[deebs2882]

@Souliban You obviously missed the whole entire point of my original comment, go watch watch the nba slam dunk contest from earlier this year and you'll see what i'm talking about. The end part of the comment was sarcasm of course which you don't seem to understand.

[deebs2882]

So basically ur saying that if hypothetically I'm Korean and happen to live in Spain for two years and end up playing for the Spanish National Team for my exceptional basketball talents thats the 'hispanophone' in action...right????

[Souliban]

@deebs2882 No, im talking about im french and i see my basket team, and i see all Africans,...and then i go to youtube to write shit about the best white basket team of all history, Spain,......cause im so jealous,....

[Souliban]

@deebs2882 Changing your profile,??? omg, fucking loser

[deebs2882]

@Souliban What the hell r u talking about...u got down syndrome or something

[Souliban]

@deebs2882 ademas, que haces aqui insultando en un España vs Francia? xD,....y mas diciendo como algo malo que España tiene un negro,....Cuando en USA cuesta ver un blanco,...es la ultima vez que me pico con un pirao del youtube como tu, Tarao!

[elpetardito]

Spain has achieved a great victory in the Eurobasket, not to mention other teams like France to play an incredible basketball, or Macedonia which amazed everyone with his great game, Russia. Lithuania etc. etc. So even if it is, Victory in Spain is so great.

at 59:41 i knew the game was over

[CrazyFoo501]

As a Lakers fan I would like to congratulate Spain, I was rooting because of Gasol and since the US obviously doesn't play against them this year. You guys have got quite a team.

[Alphadestrious]

Good job Spain. Now let's see you guys lose to Team USA. 

[medina22891]

59:30 Triple Marc!

[dimss10]

dear spanish..congratulations,u have a really nice team..u should not forget one think though...ONLY GREECE HAS WON THE USA.u never did.and greece has also 2 european championships.LETS NOT TALK ABOUT FRANCE THAT WE HAVE A 30-15,LAST DEFEAT IN 1983!!.see u in london in a real tournament with spanoulis and diamantidis..i love basketball..cheers

[Wxzcxwdrywdz]

@dimss10 do you remember Indianapolis 96? Of course, you don't. We won the game in their country!

[Wxzcxwdrywdz]

@dimss10 do you remember Indianapolis 96? Of course, you don't. We won the game in their country!

And do you remember this numbers: 70-47. The first world championship final and you scored only 47 points!!!

[Wxzcxwdrywdz]

@dimss10 do you remember Indianapolis 96? Of course, you don't. We won the game in their country!

And do you remember this numbers: 70-47. Your first world championship final and you scored only 47 points!!!

[Darkvict92]

@dimss10 Grecia ganó a USA y despues España ganó a grecia HAHAHAHAHAHA. De que os sirve ganar a USA si después perdeis la final? Ganar a USA no es ningún título, ilusos...

[momusufanivan5]

@dimss10 Spain won against the USA in Indianapolis 2002. It was not the best team that the US sent in their history but it had 100% NBA players. So inform yourself before talking.

[hyperfuzion]

@dimss10 If you consider Eurobasket ain't a real tournament just don't watch Eurobasket videos...

[MrAlf1965]

@dimss10 Mmm, I'm sorry but Spain won the USA in Indianapolis. Italy have also won USA, Lithuania won USA...

I liked a lot Greece team but now they are finished since your best players have retired from NT. And Spain is historically much, much better than greece, as it proves your record against them (8 W-26 L).

[dimss10]

@MrAlf1965 when did italy and when did lithuania won the usa?nobody said spanish is not better historically than the greek team,this spanish team is superb but consider that greece is a country of 10million while spain 50

(i think)million,so there is a big difference in the size of the various achievements.not all has retired,some r going to return.cant find the games of italy lithuania and spain aganst usa,but i think(not sure)that in indianapolis was not an nba team,correct me if im wrong

[Souliban]

@dimss10 and USA have 300 million and what? and yes Italy and Lithuania won USA, search about it, even Spain won them,.....Spain is the best white basket team of all time,....everybody knows, and everybody have a tv to watch it,...thats it

[mrbilingual]

@Souliban

Europeans are Europeans, not white. White is an American word creating to describe a group of folk solely in the USA who may or may not be of European decent. Forty-five percent of folk who are called white in the USA do not have European blood. Spain is the best team in Europe, and they are Spanaird.

[Souliban]

@mrbilingual Y tu eres un indigena acomplejado, que tiene que esquivar balas para cruzar fronteras. ya te gustaria a ti vivir en un pais como España, estas donde te mereces, y ojala en España nos pongamos a la altura de politicos racistas franceses, alemanes, austriacos, en donde o tienen, o casi obtienen la presidencia, y asi nos podras criticar con razon!

COMEGUSANOS

[izchicago]

@dimss10 Greek team is usually good, but you are either crazy nationalistic greek or just blind. 

[toommeng191]

Is this once technical foul in Eurobasket2011?? Please open your eyes and see another games.....

[penumrocker25]

Aquí huele un poco a envidia, ¿no? Y yo que pensaba que eso era exclusivo nuestro... Ya veo que no

[riovelo]

Spain's such an itensive team. Its defense is as proof as aoor made of steel. and its offense moves so smoothly

[riovelo]

@riovelo as a door *

[Gaspaar92]

I'm Spanish and I can't believe the amount of envious people which are leaving their comments here... Spanish team are great players and great people.. Pau Gasol and Jose Calderon even have their own projects to help African poor people. Rudy had never done anything like he did to Tony Parker in the game, it was a mistake, everybody knows, but he apologized later and he recieved his technical foul from the referee... I think it's all right why to continue saying those bad things to them?

[TheAlliterator]

@Gaspaar92 I'm french and i'm not envious, Spain deserves the win and nobody disagrees. But Rudy Fernandez is a bitch. Spanish players are so arrogant... Can't wait your humiliation against USA next year.

[capenati]

@TheAlliterator well the coach got very mad a Rudy

[senji991]

@TheAlliterator im spanish..... first in th other game,your team play to lose.noah and parker dont play those game,who are arrogant?,yesterday was a fantastic game,second,france make more faults than spain, third .well usa can humillate us,but in the jj.oo final,france in quarter-final come to house.....dont say bullshit,your team are the silver medal in eurobasket,until starting the eurobasket,nobody thinks france the finalist,lituania,rusia,german­y ,....but france no, at end good championship.

[TheAlliterator]

@senji991 This is bullshit, Parker didn't play the first game because he needed some rest. Noah was injured. And make more faults doesn't mean we are dirty. You are. And dont misunderstand me : Spain was better. Really better. But nobody likes your players, there is a reason for that. Think about this.

[senji991]

@TheAlliterator well you say so,....,remember you say the spain are arrogant,.and i dont see why, i say france make good championship, nobody like our players?,better noah with stupid actions everywhere,pietrus knoking players, continue?,pau every people meet like him, if are players arrogants and dirty are people same noah,pietrus,etc, but are good players ,this is important,you dont says nothing about noah?well, we are the champions,france are the sub-champions,parker are great player,

[arsavive]

@TheAlliterator So funny, the french people waiting to somewhere spanish lose in anywhere to feel good, hahaha, so sad, so pathetic !!!

[hyperfuzion]

@TheAlliterator drop it man, Rudy made a mistake and he apologized, or at least he tried though coz your beloved Pietrus didn't let him to, aswell he didn't let spaniards play basketball, since he's always trying to hurt everybody on the court by hard pushing, hittin and all that shit flagrant fouls he always makes; but I don't point him, I just dont give a f***k since we the people earn nothing arguing stupid topics about who's better.

And just for the record, I have a lot of respect for France

[toommeng191]

@Gaspaar92 I'm not Spanish but I'm basketball player and I agree with you.

This is Basketball game....^ ^

[penumrocker25]

@Gaspaar92 Están nerviosos porque contemplan con impotencia cómo hemos pasado de ser aquellos sempiternos segundones, que caíamos siempre en cuartos en fútbol o que no pasábamos del 5º puesto en un mundial de baloncesto, a toda una superpotencia deportiva mundial. Y lo que les queda por sufrir. ¡¡¡VIVA ESPAÑA!!! / HAIL TO SPAIN!!!

[Gaspaar92]

@penumrocker25 Ya ves! y luego me hace gracia que se ponga aquí la gente verde de envidia y sigan diciendo que EE.UU. nos va a machacar... Estamos mejor que nunca. Sólo digo que tiempo al tiempo y que el año que viene se callarán muchas bocas.

[mehotondahguitar]

@Gaspaar92 I gotta admit i thought France had this in the bag from the early stages of the competition but i was proven wrong. But just a friend advice to the Spaniard guards - um they will need to work on speed more otherwise Derrick Rose and Russell Westbrook will eat them alive on open court when olympic comes. But who knows who the USA team will send to the olympics right. Good job Spain though :D. I have quarter of Spanish in my blood too :D.

[Sky1green]

@mehotondahguitar

Nah, Spain is clearly superior to France. Spain and Lithuania were the big favourites.

In fact France also lost to Spain again by 30 pts or something like that during the group stage, though on purpose, because they feared having to play Lithuania (the host as well, btw) in a hypothetical semifinal.

Btw, the game between Lithuania and Spain in the group stage was the big game of the tournament.

[mrbilingual]

Shamefully, Spain needs to own up to its inhumane behavior. The way they treat others is not seen anywhere in the world. Throwing objects at Africans and foreign soccer players and calling them niggers, apes Spain is an inferior culture. I used to be somewhat obsessed over Spain until I saw the way a hispanic female worker was beaten in public. The country has done absolutely nothing to correct the barbaric behavior of the morons of Spain. Spain is the most iliterate country in Europe.

[Souliban]

@mrbilingual Hasta aqui, en una final de basket europea que gana España vamos a tener que aguantar a estos jodidos comegusanos amerinidios resentidos y acomplejados?? Mira bastardo, si eres un puto indigena de metro y medio acomplejado porque te marginan los criollos,..TE JODES! España, pese a ser el quinto pais mas rico de Europa y uno de los que mas inmigrantes recibe sino el que mas,..tiene a la estrema derecha anti-inmigrante super debilitada....Vete a Francia con Jean-Marie Le Pen

[13treces]

@mrbilingual My dear. If you are so sure of the veracity of your words, I just think you are a dumb. It is not posible to try a description of Spain in a so short summary. And even you must agree about it, if you take some seconds to think it. So, Spain has 45 millions and each one has a diferent behavior and opinion.

Shut up adn speak about basket. For sure the antropology is not your stronghold

[jandrovalencia]

@mrbilingual stop taking drugs , that is not good man. stop talking rubbish please you have no idea what you are talking about. don´t say bullshits about Spain, you seems to be racist more than any spanish

[izchicago]

@Gaspaar92 Rudy commited a flagrant 2 fault. He had to be expelled. Referees did not do that and it was a mistake. However Spain would win anyway because it is a great team, seriosly. I like the game vwery much except the Rudy's rud fault.

[lpspgameplay]

lmfao arvydas sabonis is so tall

[rami96matta]

congrats Spain :))

From ISRAEL..

[thelacoza]

Spain is team with best players, but worst men and sportsmen! The most of their players are dirty, unsportsmanlike behaviour.. Rudy should be suspended to play for national team 2 years at least, because of the foul on Parker! Stupid jerk!

[bmm3005]

@thelacoza , Rudy pidió perdon y lo reconoció, si juegas a baloncesto te calientas y te puede pasar a mi me a pasado, y al momento pido perdón, yo creo que tienes ENVIDIA DE ESPAÑA, un equipo muy grande.

[Jille69]

@thelacoza Rudy was just too excited. You can check in the previous plays 1 or 2 minutes before his awful fault. Sometimes, when you're competing, you become overexcited. Don`t judge a team or a player for isolated bad attitude...

[MegaMiaouss]

@Jille69

I hope that's true. Rudy did indeed apologize several time and seemed to feel bad about what he did to Parker. He even went to the bench to check if TP was fine.

[nokerti]

@thelacoza how many years was krstic suspended for throwing a chair to a rival? 2 years like you want for rudy?

[kunoislisteningto]

thanks

[trirotiq]

1:20:03 ! What a dirty play! 100% intentional. No class at all. Can't believe he finished the game.

[Vaalferatus]

@trirotiq

This doesn't change nothing.

[dahon300]

@trirotiq now, thats a hard foul, playoff foul.

[MegaMiaouss]

Congrats Spain and congrats France too cause they had a good tournament but the spanish team was just too strong.
