If Team USA loses a game but still wins gold is it consider a failure??

Question

i dont think it will happen

Answer 1

as long as they win a meadal, be it bronze is OK for me.

i just hate it when NBA go to the olympics to sell shoes.

Answer 2

if they win the gold we will look back and say its a success but i think a clean sweep will be way more satisfying since we lost in '04. a loss would not be a total failure but it would be disappointing. it wont happen though. were just too good, i mean greece was supposed to be a top team and we crushed them

Answer 3

Yes, it's still a failure if they lose 1 game.  USA basketball is far superior than the rest of the world.  Those losses in 2004 and 2007 were humiliating and the only to get it back is to dominate  

Answer 4

No.  They wanted to win gold, not be undefeated.

Answer 5

no it is not considered a failure becUSE THEY GOT THE GOLD MEDAL

Answer 6

Winning is winning.  Whether it's by an inch or by a mile, a Gold medal is a successful result in the '08 Olympics for Team USA.  

After seeing the USA only get Bronze in 2004, I think everyone on the '08 team would be elated if they win Gold, even if they lose 1 game to someone in the process.

Answer 7

nope. the team's goal is to win the goal

Answer 8

Are you serious?

How could Olympic Gold be a failure?

Answer: NO!

Answer 9

i dont think that USA will lose but the ultimate goal is to win the gold and they know that and thats basically all they and coach K care about

Answer 10

Of course not.

Answer 11

NO  all we wanna do is get the GOLD  did u hear the we were mad when we came back wit bronze medals in 2004 all team usa cares bout is the gold.

DWADE is goin bring it home 4 us!!!
