  1. Evalagoal (just love that name :D ), I could understand the world rankings is full of garbage, sometimes we tend to follow it just to see when our national team are heading to, kind of like in the everyday world we may follow the personal lives of celebraties ever if we don't care so much about it. :rolleyes:

  2. Yeah right we've only won more medals than Greece in Eurobaskets but we never took the gold medal. But we are champions of the world, and also we were second silver medal in the Los Angeles olympic games, and remember that we played against someone called Michael Jordan eh?. Is that too bad?

    I think in Europe only Serbia and the former Soviet Union has more medals than Spain . I mean if you want to make sarcasm don't do it on Spain cause it's a traditional bball country with an excellent league, the best of europe for me.

    And let's not forget than real madrid is still the team with more european titles eh i think it's only like 7 or 8 euroleagues . Well not too bad :)

    JUANJO, I do respect Spain in many ways, way more than the U.S.. They are champions at virtually every level (Club or National Team). They play tougher defense than the Americans do, there offensive game flows very well. They play with passion, they never play like an INDIVIDUAL TALENT like the U.S., amazing how you guys find a way to beat Greece without your MVP player Pau Gasol. Your country are FIBA World Champions and I admire what they have accomplished. Now you guys play in Spain for Eurobasket 2007, I'm sure Greece would love to get there hands on Spain. :P Who knows we might beat you in your home soil, just like the Greek Football Team did in the summer of 2003. :gr: :gr:

    Why in the world is Serbia in 4th place? What have they done after there World title in 2002? They are going downhill since then for the past 3 years. And why is Greece in 6th? They should be 4th place IMO after there improbable run at the championship finals.

  5. So, what's the previous record between Hellas and Spain? Should we be worried? I saw them play Argentina this am and they looked very tough but I think our boys can do it!

    Here it is, although I don't have the Eurobasket match history.

    Only remembered the 1987 game with Greece beating Spain 106 : 89

    Here are the rest :

    FIBA World Basketball Championship

    1986 - Spain 87 : 86 Greece

    1990 - Greece 102 : 93 Spain

    1998 - Greece 69 : 62 Spain

    Mediterranean Games

    2005 - Greece 88 : 77 Spain

  6. Quotes from people I know:

    "We'll blow them away"

    "Nobody stands a chance against the USA"

    "I guarantee they'll win the championship"

    Where are you now fellow amerikanakia?

    Time to start the excuses. I can't wait to see what the USA sport shows will say about this defeat.

    Not even listed in SI's top 8 before the tournament? :nono:

    Sports Illustrated: GO SUCK A BIG FAT... :whistle:

    Oh, it's so beautiful! :gr:

    WELL SAID FILE!!!!!!! :LOL: :LOL: :LOL: :LOL:
