WELL DONE :mk: :D I was happy like if Serbia won! I was yelling in the end......I don't remember if I was this anxious about our match :lol: No matter what happens now, Macedonia made a historical success, and this isn't a surprise anymore, :mk: plays a great basketball. McCaleb (Partizan's child :p :lol:) means a lot but everyone fought like lions 'till the end, and they deserved this. This is the biggest sensation in the history of Eurobasket, I believe. Well done, and now I can hope for a final between :rs: and :mk: :lol: That is, if :ru: doesn't eliminate us tomorrow :lol:

On the other hand, I am sorry for :lt: they were among my favorites too. I hope they will manage to go to the Olympics, they have a great team, who deserved that.

Yes, it would be nice to see Macedonia vs. Serbia in a basketball final, and I also think it will be a fairly relaxed final as well. :D So now, Serbia, make sure you win against Russia. :D

Lithuania surely has a good team. I did support them at the Olympics in Beijing, and were very close to getting a medal.
This win against Lithuania was huge by all means. We had troubles in the qualifiers to beat the host in several occasions, including Hungary, where we lost 85:82 (yet at home we defeated them with +30). I am in delirium right now, and so is the whole Macedonian nation. This was like a healthy powerful drug, that placed all of us under a trance. :lol: Huge, huge, success! Well done boys and keep going that way!!! :)

McCaleb is defintely the best play maker on this championship. He is like a wizard, unbelievable :D He brought Partizan to final four of Euroleague last year, and was proclaimed as the best foreign player who played in :rs: EVER, and now he brought (but not only him) Macedonia to the semi-final! :D

I hope our own players won't ruin my happiness tonight against :ru: :lol:

Btw, Lithuania has a 9 point lead in the match against Slovenia currently. It's 3rd quarter. I'm pretty sure :lt: will win this match and secure the Olympic games.

they won't secure it, the'll play an additional Olympic qualification tournament. Only the two finalist will auto qualify for the Olympic games.

It's over :lt: won. Slovenia was very bad through the whole tournament, and with this game they deserved to go home. I think Boža will be fired as soon as they come to Ljubljana.

And maybe this player will return him the favor :lol:

We play Spain tomorrow, and there is nothing more to say except that Spain is great in basketball. :lol: They are again the favourites, but they are not unbeatable (they lost from Turkey, who had great defense). They don't seem to cope well with a good defense. We will play again without any pressure and we'll see what happens. :)

Hahaa :lol: Lithuania came out pretty good against Slovenia, after last night.

Congratulations to :ru: for entering the semi. :rs: doesn't deserve the semi with this shameful play. Totally deserved elimination.

That's too bad!! Teodosic is a good player, scored 20 pts, but he made so many mistakes. I think that is what contributed the most for Russia's victory.

Definetly.......I mean everybody was making some silly mistakes, that even I, who have played basketball for some time, didn't make, but Teodosic destroyed us. "The best play maker" in Europe, and he loses 10 balls ?! Only 1 assistance.....that is a shame, not this defeat, it happens to everyone. I think Ivkovic doesn't have authority when it comes to him. He is playing for himself. Even though I didn't want to lose hope, as I am also very self-critical, I was right when I said that we will be the bigger opponents to ourselves than Russia. Serbia is (on paper) a better team than Russia, but on the field it means nothing when we play like ass.holes.

Last year I never said a single bad word even after we left without a medal (and I really think we deserved at least a bronze for everything), but this is really a serious drop down, and I think we are going to lose from :gr: tomorrow too.

Grinch (I think) noticed well that we aren't the same team from last year, on which I agreed, as we really aren't the team who sent Spain home without a medal last year. If they fought like they should have, this would've been different, but this way they will ruin everything they've done in last two years.

We need serious changes in the national team, or we will return to abyss, where we have been until 2009.


From that world champions titile from Indianopolis everything went downhill.....sadly.


I will support :mk: now, and definetly our players should watch your team and take it as a bright of example of a compactable team with HEART.

^I also feel Teodosic was biggest problem in our 'play' last night. But also other players...all looked sick, half-dead, injured or indifferent, uninterested. lol. Well, they probably wanted to win, but weren't good enough. Better team won, and it was :ru: last night, so congrats to them!
(I predict :rs: is going to lose from :gr: as well. Our team is no longer in championship - mentally. Only physically still there:lol:).

Now I will support :mk:, would be awesome if they win :es:, but even if they lose, bronze medal would be good, and I believe they can easily get bronze! Good luck!
