sitlbitoParticipantToday 3 pm eastern on NBA TV! Winner goes to Rio. It will be the7th consecutive year those teams will face each other,6th out of the last 7 where they face in an elimination game:
2009:France-Spain 66-86 in the quarter finals
2010:France 72-66 in group play
2011:Spain 96-69 France in group play,Spain 98-85 in the Final.
2012:Spain 66-59 in the quarter finals of the olypmpics
2013:France 75-73 Spain in overtime,semi finals.
2014: Spain 88-64 in group play, Spain 52-65 France
Spain leads 5-3 in all those games,not even mentionning some preparation games. Most of these games involved a scuffle or two,some flagrant fouls,some "gentle" words. Pau Gasol said at the end of game huddle against Greece "We came here to beat them". France eliminated Spain on their home soil last year.

sitlbitoParticipantAre you kidding me? 40 pointss,11 rebounds by Pau Gasol and Spain goes to the olympics,France to the qualifying tournament. Parker is washed up,I say that in a sad voice. I’m french so the disapointment is real. France lost this game more than Spain won it though.
