00:00And I mean, this game coming up on Thursday, maybe the very biggest of the entire Olympic

00:08Games because we'll get to Team USA, assuming they win.

00:11Let's talk about this game between Germany and France and the odds makers, Gilbert, not

00:15buying it.

00:16Germany, a four and a half point favorite against the team that everyone's going to

00:20be cheering for Thursday, 1130 AM Eastern.

00:24We'll have live updates on that game here on Newswire coming up tomorrow.

00:29But by the time it goes off, Gilbert, you're going to need to give your opinion now because

00:33I'll be on the air when it starts.

00:36Can France keep this going here?

00:38Can they keep this close?

00:39You know, I've been high on Germany, even coming into the tournament.

00:43I think that they are the most complete team that compliments each other better than anybody

00:47else.

00:48These two teams met last week, last weekend on Friday, and Germany honestly ran them out

00:52of their own gym.

00:53So I think that's going to be on France's mind.

00:56But I just feel like Germany has a better team and a better shot to make the most of

01:02that opportunity.

01:03Now, they're going to need an extra effort because France has been getting to the free

01:06throw line.

01:07We talk about a little homecoming hook cooking.

01:08Maybe that's the discussion there.

01:09Maybe it isn't.

01:10So they're going to need to give a little bit extra to get the win they need to get.

01:14But I think that they're the better team just because of the way their team is constructed.

01:17France has some issues in the backcourt and Dennis Schreuder just takes it to another

01:20level.

01:21So I think he will be the difference in tomorrow's game.
