FINAL: Turkey-USA

[Miggity23]

This is an English-speaking board in case you couldn't work it out.

I said your team was not worthy of playing in the semi-finals let alone the world final. Turkey shouldn't be playing at the point that it is because it clearly did it via dishonest means- i.e. with the referees and not because Turkey has a capable team.

I'm still waiting for one Turk to point out where there is racism in this statement.

Sure the accusations have bruised your egos and all you can do is lash out, but at the end of the day you have nothing to excuse yourselves with. Eurobasket 2001 was a fiasco that got Turkey into the Eurobasket final, and now the fiasco repeats itself this time with the Mundobasket.

Go ahead and call me a racist all you like, everyone else saw what happened (that means check the replies of other users on this forum from other countries, and you'll amazingly see that there is an agreement of views)

I haven't seen anything racist on this board. My only disagreements stem from the idea that the refs some how favor the Americans, or that this tournament is some how "fixed". I find both of those notions to be preposterous.

This has been a great 3 weeks for FIBA basketball. We've been given great games and great individual perfromances. Let's stop making baseless accusations and enjoy what looks like one of the biggest FIBA games ever.
