USA vs Brazil

USA wins 90-86
Pardon me whilst I vomit. And this is our latest "Dream Team"?

USA Hockey: 1-4 in Olympics
USA Soccer: fails to get out of prelims
USA Baseball: Flops like a flounder in World Championships
USA Basketball ????

They blew out the first two teams by 45+ pts. But as I watch them play, I have fealing they wont be that good. No chemistry, no defense.

I'll not even count the blowout over China. China without Yao is about like beating Libya.

Yao would have made the game closer, but we still would have beat them by double digits.

duncan would have been ok but i think they got a decent international style team if they can continue to improve
no larry brown has to help

Has anyone here ever had a dream of a "Team USA" in American football?

I know, I know -- before anyone says anything, I know that hardly any countries would even want to participate, or even know how to play the sport for that matter, but it'd still be awesome.

There will be only one "Dream Team". That was the 1st Dream Team.

But you also got to think that there alot NBA players that play for their respective countries. So maybe the rest of the world caught up to the USA in basketball (Look at the world baseball championship awhile back). Also there is to many me's and not enough team(USA).

^^^ bingo...

not so much caught up as they are "catching" up...Brazil can play a little bit and the loss of Melo does hurt this squad...coach K is asking the big boys to play within a system and you won't see the benefits of that until later on in the process...imagine summer camps when you see a lot of upsets and the teams are about equal...but it's never that way in the season
