In a friendly game, Greece - Canada 123:49 :eek: :? :lol: I don't know what to say. If Canada plays like this, then they can reserve their last place right now!!!

That's an incredibly huge margin :eek: :?

I always knew that Greece had a great team, but I guess they are ready to nail.

Serbia has 8 victories in a row, and I am really pleased with our matches so far :D

I think and hope we will get a medal on the world cup :p

The Turkish cell phone operator and a sponsor of the national basketball team, Turkcell made a nice TV commercial to support the team which you can see below :)

Ha, today Canada - Serbia 62:58 and Greece - Slovenia 96:72. I suppose this is a tournament or something. So, I am glad Canada pulled it finally and against unbeatable Serbia. I still think Serbia is the favourite for the title along with USA and Spain. This gives me a good dose of optimism. Canada might do well!! :D :cool: xpray

^^ I am happy we lost as well, it's not good to win all matches before the world cup begins, then the players will think they are unbeatable, and they will be back on the ground now.

^^ I didn't watch the match, as RTS didn't broadcast it here unfortunately. But it's a shame for both countries and both teams that it happened.

But basically, the fight started when Teodosic made a foul on Fotsis. Fotsis began pushing Teodosic and spitting him in the face, Teodosic slapped him and the fight begun. Schortsanitis began hitting Bjelica (The Serbian player) very hardly while he was lying on the ground, and lead player of our team Krstic tried to end the fight (but by hitting Schortsanitis from behind). Then at one point when it seemed that the fight is finished a group of Greek players went to Krstic who was scared, and in afect, threw a metal chair and hit a Greek player in the head with it!

You can see a video here:


Pure shame for both teams like I said.

This is the first match we lose and to USA.....so it's not bad at all!!! I'm so excited about this, even if I'm not big Basket fan as with football.

But anyway, we made a terrible first round last euro and we won, so even if we won almost all of our preparation matches, anything can still happen!

Serbia totally wrecked China in yesterday's match :D I hope we won't get severe punishment because of that incident, and that we will keep up the good shape from the preparation matches.

BTW, I just noticed that we have Germany and Australia in our group, just like it was the case on the football world cup :lol:

Can't wait for tomorrow's matches :D

Serbia won't have our two best players atm, as they have a suspension on the first couple of matches, but still I expect a victory against Angola tomorrow

USA vs Croatia 106:78 :(

Expected!
Yes this is a high defeat, very big advantage for the Americans, but the least defeat so far, it can be some kind of encouragement (if we can call it like that)....

We played pretty bad in the 2nd Q. Tanjevic tried so many tactics in 40 mins like it was a friendly match - which made me so scared- we have to play more radical. Overall the team seems ready. Its all up tp the performance against Russia today. If we finish the group matches @ 1st spot it's not a dream to get a medal.
Good luck everyone
