Olympic Games 1972 Drama Finale Basket USA USSR

Op de olympische spelen van 1972 in Munchen speelde USA de finale in het basketbal tegen de USSR. Deze finale eindigde heel tumultueus en zorgde voor veel controverse. Dat dergelijke dingen mogelijk zijn op dit niveau is onbegrijpelijk. Al is het wel een mooie zaak dat de hegemonie van de USA werd verbroken, alsook hun hoogmoed wordt afgestraft. Oordeel zelf wat je vindt van de uitslag...

USSR the best! USA suck!!!

[Mattlikestheyankees]

so why did they get 3 more seconds added twice???

[MrLarrylocken]

even if russia won fair and square by a point, It wouldnt have said much as the best college player Bill Walton was not on the squad, the best player their was ejected before halftime, the bad coaching on the last few plays not to mention kids who only played two weeks together playing an adult soviet = pro team. Plus on their own continent so even a controversy free 51 50 soviet win with all the adversity of that 72 usa team so basically even at that the americans beat themselves..

This sucks USA should have won. Anyway, I am proud of what they did don't accept those medals. They were robbed

When Doug Collins was undercut going to the basket, that should have been called a flagrant foul, USA 2 free throws and the ball out of bounds...but the USA should have had Burleson guarding the inbounder, to discourage the long pass. Also have 1 defender in front of the guy and one behind the other. No way that guy should have been able to catch that pass!

@stikndip According to the posters page, he does not live in America. It states "BE", i'd assume that is Belgium. I also dunno how it could be labeled a "premature celebration" when the final whistle (or buzzer) sounded, essentially ending the game.
