Jennifer Abel from Canada should win gold for synchronized babing.

Spain definitely choking this one away. They were up by double digits.

Spain was completely loafing and mailing it in all 2nd half. Very little WIM. I don't really like anyone on their team except Pau, so F em.

Calderon just sits on the bench with his arms crossed and never plays. Put that broken down old out to pasture.

Isn't Spain supposed to be the second best team in the tournament? They played like they haven't practiced together and don't have a coaching staff.

Spain is theoretically #2

But they used to be a 'dominant #2' and now they're just kind of the leader of the pack of other teams, imo. Teams like Croatia and Lithuania seem to have the next generation of young/exciting talent.

Spain could still be the #2, and maybe just had a bad night tonight. Only a small loss. But they clearly aren't as far above the rest as they were 4 or 8 years ago.

Croatia's got an exciting future

Dragan Bender (#4 overall this year)
Mario Hezonjia
Dario SARIC
Bojan Bogdanovic
Zizic and Zubac (not Pokemon, but actual young players drafted this year #23 and #32)

Seems like they've got some talent in the pipeline
