Message: [QUOTE="McLovin, post: 3951258, member: 9450"] [USER=9151]@bendm[/USER] [USER=2281]@djct1999[/USER] isn't Olympic soccer played with countries "B" teams mostly? I don't recall the Olympic's soccer tournament generating nearly as much buzz as a World Cup, and that has country pride on the line. I'd assume most people don't care because the top players from each country aren't participating, meaning the gold medal is just a watered down trophy. Edit: to tie it back to basketball. Would there be as much interest in watching the USA Men's Olympic basketball team compete if LeBron, KD, Irving, etc. didn't play and just a bunch of "B" team guys wearing USA a jersey? [/QUOTE]
