Even though many people had counted them out and they were facing their toughest opponents yet, France took down Germany on Thursday to advance to the Olympic Final in men’s basketball.
It was a banner game that left fans on the edge of their seats and, as reported by NBA TV and others, France will now face the winner of the upcoming USA-Serbia game.
France’s huge victory over Germany was talked about online, with many people praising the team and others fearful for the future.

A large number of people praised Victor Wembanyama, who has been a sensation throughout all of the Olympics.
Not only did he have one of the best rookie seasons the NBA has ever seen but now Wembanyama is just a single win away from earning a gold medal.
Wow WEMBY

Other people were shocked that France won even though Rudy Gobert wasn’t playing.
Gobert has had many difficulties over the last few games, which put even more pressure on his teammates.
But what if he comes back for the final game and performs well?
That could give France a huge boost and enough power to overtake their competition.
How did Rudy Gobert win NBA DPOY when he hasn’t done anything in Olympics?!

Some people said that France has no shot at beating the United States if they meet in the final game.
Instead, France is simply battling to win silver, they said.
this is the Finals for second place
No team beating the US team…
Everyone just playing for 2nd…

However, many people didn’t expect France to get this far in the first place so there is a chance they could beat their next opponent, whether it be the US or Serbia.
No matter what happens, this team has made its country proud and the fans were elated on Thursday as they saw their squad get much closer to claiming gold.
