See you at 2:40 p.m. to experience the Bancherico second quarter-final of this 2023 World Cup between Italy and Team USA. Great favorites of the meeting, the United States nevertheless come out of a defeat once morest Lithuania. A reason to believe it for Fontecchio and his friends? Send the preview!
But what might the Italians have said to each other last night when they went to bed? TrashTalk conducted the investigation, with its Italian LV3.
“Impossible is not Italian” (impossible n’est pas italien) – Nicolo Melli
“Nessuna pietà per i traditori” (No mercy for traitors) – Simone Fontecchio
“I want to throw up when I see this guy in a Team USA jersey.” (j’ai envie de vomir quand je vois ce gars avec le maillot de Team USA.) – Marco Spissu
“Should I take the midnight blue suit or the classic black?” (je mets le costume bleu nuit ou le noir plus classique ?) – Gianmarco Pozzecco
Surely a bit of all that, thanks for your applause
The Italians are obviously not the favorites once morest Team USA. But, because there is a big but, this story around Paolo Banchero, who was supposed to play for Italy and then finally decided to play for Team USA might be a real motivation for the Italians. With their legendary pride and their aggressiveness, the Italians will obviously feed on this rivalry to try to make a hit.
After an average group phase with a defeat once morest the Dominican Republic, Italy managed to score its ticket by offering itself Serbia in a heroic match and then confirming once morest Puerto Rico. With a fabulous Simone Fontecchio since the start of the competition (18.4 points per game), the Squarda holds its leader, and reasons to believe it.

Around, Marco Spissu (11.4 points per game) supports his leader well and Stefano Tonut completes and does the job with 11.4 units per game. A well launched Squadra Azzura but which falls on a pretty bone from the quarters, worse, a femur… Team USA. And once morest Team USA we are never favorites.
Even if the Americans lost out once morest the superb Lithuania, this match once morest Italy might serve as an ideal recovery match following a disappointment. Italians who are able to raise their voices in defense, the Serbs or the Dominicans have seen it, but today the talent is clearly above average. Anthony Edwards has proven several times that he has what it takes to be the leader of this team, Jalen Brunson ensures the perfect man at his side, Brandon Ingram comes off the bench with minimal pressure and Paolo Banchero is the X factor of the band . We might just as easily have mentioned eight other players, eh, as Steve Kerr’s squad is complete and can be dominating, all that to say that Uncle Sam remains the favorite today once morest Aunt Simone.
Time? 2:40 p.m. The place? Manila, or your couch. A real shock, following which Italy dreams of shocking the world. And you, do you believe it?
