Spain (ok mainly Fernandez) make it really hard not to hate them and cheer against them...

Well, it's close at the half. That's a sign of a good game right? /sigh

This game's almost making me miss the NBA refs.

Didn't someone on Spain get a technical for flopping in one of their other games?

There are more calls than in the NBA, not only for fouls also for travelling etc, NORMALLY. This game is not a good example though, it's watchable from time to time.

NBA is just more athletic, so more contact being allowed is kind of logic. FIBA rules are for all leagues in Europe even the lowest one.

In general, international refs whistle travels and stuff like that much more.
But the way they whistle contacts is really different from ref to ref, some let the players play a lot more, and some whistle anything.

I am pretty sure more contact is allowed in Europe (normally), especially inside the paint.

Usually handchecking isnt called as strictly as in the NBA either. The way the refs have been calling these finals reminds me more of the NBA than Eurobasket.

I hope Spain gets crushed, really disliked their attitude of not playing 100% vs Brazil to avoid USA, what a bunch of pussies.

That second quarter has really been unwatcheable. This game could be so much fun because both team appear to play ultra-competetively but the referees wanted their share of the limelight...
