I would like to bash some Americans now

- but as it looks like none is going to reply in this thread as you are only concerned with baseball and things like that

.
Congratulations for the Greek victory over the USA.
Hmmm... a whole thread for yourself only. Not fair.
But you can look at it this way: when Mexico dumped the USA during the World Baseball Classic, what I heard was "well, this is spring, actually pre-season, and it doesn't count... the (US) World Series is what's it's all about". They didn't care it was spring and pre-season also for Mexico.
So think, Ellinas, [their] silence is golden.

I understand. I prefer silence instead of funny excuses

By the way Greece lost to Spain in the great final. After we beat the Americans everyone was considering the gold medal sure, but the Spanish took the game much more seriously. Congratulations to Spain anyway.
So the final ranking is:
1. Spain (Gold)
2. Greece (Silver)
3. United States (Bronze)
4. Argentina
5. France
6. Turkey
7. Lithuania
8. Germany
