I don't even think the starters played much in the second half. The problem is that the reserves are way better than the starters on the other team. What should they have done? Forfeited the game? Thrown Nigeria the ball every time they got possession?

People didn't complain when the 1992 Dream Team pasted teams and people shouldn't complain now.
