Team USA and Serbia were considered the big favorites to face each other in the World Cup Final and fight for the gold medal. However, their elimination in the quarterfinals by France and Argentina respectively, brought them against each other in the classification games for positions 5 to 8.
So, what did Gregg Popovich say to Sasha Djordjevic regarding their teams’ failure to reach the Top 4, before the Serbia – USA game? “We are a couple of fu—ing losers,” according to Djordjevic, per Serbian journalist Alex Krstanovic.
Serbia beat Team USA and will face the Czech Republic in the game for the fifth place. USA will play Poland for positions 7 to 8.
