Don't be fooled by the result of France vs. Spain. France 'sandbagged' (as Raze would say) their performance and lost on purpose to Spain so that they would play against Greece. Plain and simple, this game was a farce.
And my friend vakasimo, Turkey did beat Spain, but then again Spain sandbagged their performance too keeping out Gasol. That's why I say that Spain won't be what we've known it to be once Pau is gone (and no, Marc can no why fill his brother's shoes even if he's improved a great deal).
Of course Germany lost, they made a valiant effort, but to beat the host nation on their home turf and at +11 points? Please.

First of all France wouldn't stand a chance against Spain even with Parker, Noah, Gelabale, Turiaf and Pietrus in the roster.
And secondly, France didn't choose Greece, they choose not to play with Lithuania(or Spain) in the semis. They didn't even think of us. <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bag.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
I hope we will upset them. Their arrogance is close to Spaniards' level... <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thudown.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':thudown:' />
