Italy’s upset bid falls short as the US escapes 55-52 in a tense World Cup game

Comments

1. Shadow Moth: they should have let it go to the wire, didn't need to resort to 2-pointers there
2. Noahivanovxo: the scoreboard must've been out of sync... 5 points?
3. Elin Reyes: 5-point margin doesn't even begin to describe how close Italy came to pulling off that upset - every free throw and rebound mattered
4. Aria: 5 points might've been close enough to a win, but still not quite good enough sadly
5. Dane: unbelievable they kept it so close, though that last 2 minutes was chaotic
6. Noahreyes: surprised they only lost by three, those Italian ladies showed some serious grit
7. Mirage Serpent: you'd think the experience would've shown them something, but it's hard to win when you shoot like that
