data-mm-id=”_sh9b18xqg”>The United States beat Greece in Manila on Monday in a FIBA World Cup match, 109-81. Austin Reaves led a balanced attack from Team USA by scoring15 points. The final score wasn't close, but USA didn't really pull away until the third quarter. Still, Greece's coach Dimitris Itoudis was screaming early in the second quarter while it was still a game. WARNING: NSFW Language!The Head Coach of Greece was NOT happy with his teams effort 😂😂 pic.twitter.com/4auZs4dumx— Esfandiar Baraheni (@JustEsBaraheni) August 28, 2023"Listen to me! Two offensive rebounds [unclear] your hands! What the f-ck we talking about now? You had the ball! You had the f-cking ball man! They go more decisive on the ball!"That's a great coach rant right there. Screaming and swearing about not being strong enough with the ball. This is why you mic people up during games. Not that ABC or ESPN would ever let us hear an NBA coach talking like this. Something to consider for any network or streaming service considering bidding on NBA rights. You could let America see coaches do something besides politely remind players to box out in a calm huddle. I don't know if it would grow the game, but it would be great for the content and isn't that really all we're trying to do in 2023? If you're not producing content then what the fuck we talking about now?

Two sides who grabbed dramatic late winners last week, RB Leipzig and PSG will meet out in Portugal on Tuesday night with a spot in the final of this year s Champions League up for grabs.
RB Leipzig
Starting with RB Leipzig, watching Tyler Adams bag his first strike for the Red Bulls in the 88th-minute last week, the German outfit managed to pick up a deserved 2-1 win against former Champions League finalists Atletico Madrid and some have branded them as a real dark horse this summer. Although the much-praised Julian Nagelsmann might have seen Timo Werner make the move to Premier League side Chelsea this summer, they have enjoyed a record-breaking European campaign just 11 years after the club was formed. Managing to secure another t…
Bukayo Saka scored his first Arsenal goal in Thursday s 3-0 Europa League victory over Eintracht Frankfurt and already has his sights set on more.
Saka, 18, came in as one of seven changes made by Unai Emery from the team that suffered a second-half collapse to draw 2-2 with Watford in the Premier League on Saturday.
The teenage winger, making just his second start for the club, set up Joe Willock for the first-half opener and drew a foul from Dominik Kohr that resulted in the Eintracht midfielder s second yellow card with 11 minutes remaining.
Saka was key to Arsenal capitalising on their numerical advantage, bending home a fine finish from the edge of the box and releasing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to cap an impressive victory at the Commerzbank-Arena.
Real Madrid are willing to listen to offers for attacking midfielder Isco, according to It has been reported by the Spanish news outlet that Madrid are looking for a buyer for the Spain international, who is out of contract at the defending La Liga champions in the summer of 2022.
Premier League club Everton have been linked with Isco, with manager Carlo Ancelotti having worked with the 28-year-old attacking midfielder when he was in charge of Los Blancos. The report has added that Madrid are also hoping that Arsenal make a move for Isco.
Isco has been on the books of Madrid since 2013 and has won the La Liga title twice and the Champions League on four occasions with the Spanish and European powerhouse. However, the 28-year-old has fallen down the pecking order this s…
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer insisted a lack of sharpness was the reason behind Manchester United conceding goals as he ruled out adding a centre-back in the transfer window.
United secured a 3-2 win at Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday thanks to a last-gasp penalty from Bruno Fernandes, who converted from the spot in the 10th minute of additional time.
However, having conceded three times when losing their Premier League opener at home to Crystal Palace, defensive deficiencies were again a topic of conversation after the final whistle on the south coast.
Neal Maupay and Solly March both scored for Brighton, the latter in the 95th minute to make it 2-2, while the home side were denied five times by the woodwork as they had 18 attempts at goal.

Stefano Pioli insisted Milan learnt a valuable lesson following their entertaining 3-2 defeat to Liverpool upon the club s return to the Champions League.
Milan were featuring in the Champions League for the first time since 2014 and the seven-time winners threatened an upset at Anfield, where the visitors surprisingly claimed a 2-1 half-time lead.
Ante Rebic and Brahim Diaz both scored within two minutes of each other on the stroke of half-time to stun Liverpool, who had Mohamed Salah s penalty saved by Mike Maignan following Fiyako Tomori s ninth-minute own goal.
But Salah redeemed himself with an equaliser three minutes into the second half before Jordan Henderson s first Champions League goal in seven years settled the Group B thriller on Merseyside.
…
Is Mohamed Salah the best player in the world? Jamie Carragher has no doubt after the Liverpool forward s stupendous goal at Watford drew immediate comparisons with Lionel Messi.
Former England striker Gary Lineker compared the wonder strike to a Lionel Messi special after the Egyptian put Jurgen Klopp s Reds 4-0 up at Vicarage Road, on the way to a 5-0 win.
Salah received the ball on the edge of the Watford penalty area and was surrounded by home defenders, but he showed supreme close control to weave a path beyond Craig Cathcart, Juan Hernandez and Juraj Kucka before whipping a clinical finish into the far corner.
It was a goal that had the hallmarks of a Messi or Diego Maradona masterpiece, with Salah s astonishing footwork leaving the defenders…

Steve Clarke insisted there is more to Norway than Erling Haaland after naming his squad for the resumption of Scotland’s European Championship qualification campaign in Oslo.
The Scots, who began their Euro 2024 qualifiers in March with impressive home wins over Cyprus and Spain, travel to Norway for their June 17 clash before hosting Georgia at Hampden Park three days later.
