FINALLY! I ALMOST WENT CRAZY FROM ALL OF THESE OVERTIMES! YASS WE'RE 1ST IN OUR GROUP! I can't believe ahahhahaha after losing every prep match and first match against Spain we managed to continue on winning every single match!!! YASS! Though we need to improve our defensive lines and Bogdanović and Ukić need to sleep well because I don't wanna watch them playing like this... SIMON YOU WERE GREAT AS ALWAYS EVEN THOUGH YOU PLAYED LIKE 3 MINUTES AND MISSED ALL SHOTS. MUA! 
PREPARE YOURSELF UKRAINE!!! :'D

HAHAHAH! Luka cheers!
Congrats Croatia!!! 
Wow, this championship is full of surprises. Well done to another ex-yu for topping the group! Just don't underestimate Ukraine.
Poor Slovenia though. They have to play France now, whatever the outcome will be between them and Finland. I think Finland might win this one and Slovenia will conserve its energy for France.

Well I think we have more chance against Ukraine than we would have against Lithuania or France.....

Trust me
. Slovenia is going to semi-final. Because their crowd is going to be crazyyyyyy .
Congratulations to on the victory against and on the first spot in the group 
I believe that you are already with one foot in the semi, as shouldn't be a problem with a serious approach. Then again, did much more than anyone expected and their coach Fratello really pulled out the maximum of maximums from that team, so you should be careful. I don't know what happened with the team, I expected much more from them on this championship
As for the second match, I want to believe that didn't lose on purpose from but if they did, it is a huge embarrassment for sport. However, it doesn't bother me much, if the Spanish players are happy that they got us in the 1/4 finals, and if they think they will pass easily, it is up to our players to make them regret for even thinking of something like this.
We are absolute outsiders against and that is our biggest advantage, since we play the best matches as underdogs. Spain has a lot of weaknesses and we can use them. It will be very tough, but I believe we can send home just like 3 years ago.

It didn't really matter much to them anyway. Congrats to Finland for another 9th place.
I think that Greece will get one of the wild cards. I wanna believe that Macedonia might get one, but I doubt it. It could go to Russia or Turkey.

We don't underestimate anyone! I hope that, if we'll enter in this match seriously, we can win it. But I don't know why, I think there will be overtime played.....maybe two overtimes again...
The whole match was just a humorist show. If I was from I would be ashamed of this...........
But anyway, they had the choice and they have chosen, as I said, it is up to us to prove them today how wrong they were and send them back to .
May everyone give their best today, we are outsiders, and don't have any pressure while certainly does. They are stronger than us on every position. Gasol is 50 % of the team, and the other 50% is their outer line.
I think the best thing we can do, from tactical aspect, to win the match is to kill the rhytm of it since the start, and play "firm" on a small number of points. We don't have any chances if we get caught up in their rhytm of "run and gun basketball". We need to be productive in the attack in order to break their defense, which is the best defense on the tournament, and also must play aggressive just like them since the start. The defense must also be aggressive and full of take-overs on the backs of the Spanish team, and we musn't let them get in their typical shooting series. Also, we should try and get Marc Gasol into problems with personal fouls as soon as possible. Without him in the game, we will win the match easier.
Our chances are not big but they do exist. I hope we fight until the last drop of sweat, and then I will be proud no matter if we got knocked out today or not! I believe in us, and we will certainly not surrender and give up.

And the Oscar for the best act in a match goes tooo... Spain for "Lose against poor Italy to get all the fame easily". Seriously... this is the Spain that should've been seen against Italy, this is ruining my whole experience of this Eurobasket. I see Serbia has serious problems with shoots, like they're terrible, but those guys are still young and they have the privilege to play with defending champs. I see they're a bit scared and stressed out but I don't blame them. I'm glad Serbian fans are with their team till the end, anything could still happen!

Well who knows what expects us tomorrow.
Hopefully Slovenia will pass through....
