		The hiatus is only the latest blow inflicted upon the Argentine soccer fan in a savage beating that predates even the country's massive economic calamities.

		The crisis left the AFA $200 million in the red and stuck with contracts that required it to pay coaches and players in dollars even after the peso had been floated (and sunk).

	CNN/SI - World Basketball Championships Diary
		To organizers of the unlucky 13th World Basketball Championships, that's an ill wind, one that chased away the NBA players they were counting on to make the event a financial success.

		It doesn't matter that equating USA Basketball (the national federation with which those contracts were signed) and the NBA (with which the players have a legitimate beef because its owners have locked them out) requires a leap in logic that only a hybrid of Michael Jordan and Rene Descartes would be capable of.

		Emanuel Ginobili is the Argentine's big star, so it should be interesting to see how he reacts with his San Antonio teammate, Tim Duncan, trying to clog the middle of the USA's defense.
		A staff member of USA basketball told me before the game that practices the last two days--when there were no games--had been the best since the team was assembled.
