dont you wish...

now Leverkusen interested..... http://www.contra.gr/Soccer/Germany/Bundes...sen/147836.html

agreed, however Achristeas will likely start over him again.......its ridiuclous...Samaras was lethal....he had other great chances in the game too...on the highlights he looked quite easily several times superior than any other Greek striker...

scored again vs Nurnberg..... keep it up Fani

i just hope we dont get too cocky.....the commentators, press are acting like complete jackasses as if we already won.......i ###### hate that...Spain is a hard game. Were not going to walk through. Also those Ert commentators - im so glad i didnt see the game live.... i would be cursing them out so badly...were up by 6 with 40 seconds (thats 2 simple 3 pointers) and they are talking crap Greece has won, its over...then we miss free throws and get dangerously close to another 3.... anywyas ill be off to go watch ti........DE STAMATW NA TRAGOYDW POTE!!!

http://japan2006.contrasport.com/teams/Spa...ain/128276.html Gasol is out...however Spain is still a team that will be incredibly difficult with or without Gasol...

Spain is no doubt great but Greek defense and spirit are a huge factor....and we also play like a team.....the depth we have is ridiculous......at no point are we fielding players who cant be in the 5ada..

guys take it eeasy on the turkish members they didnt doubt us and they support us.... :gr:

definitly not impossible remember guys - USA has not had to play any big teams yet. Germany is, was CRAP and USA struggled in the begining. Slovenia is decent...as well as Aussie.... but the rest? We have taken on Lithuania, Turkey, France now so were capable. Were also in very good form. Starting well agains the USA will be huge...we have to upset their mentality... also if you live in australia- GET TO JAPAN NOW!!!! OLOI MESA!!! :gr:

germany is winning so far 25 -23!!!!!!! AUFGEHT DEUTSCHLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!do the miracle!!

SIKOSE TO!!!!!

My updated list: Hellas: Leoforos (Panathinaikos) OAKA (Panathinaikos) Nea Smyrni (AEK-Panathinaikos) Outside Stavros Mavro8alassitis (Aigaleo-PAO-no tickets) Kallimarmaro (Welcome back European Champions) El Paso (Kallithea-PAO) Glyfada (PAO volley, basket) Karaiskaki (Olympics 2004) Stadio Eirinis kai Filias (SEF) (Ethniki volley) Elliniko (Basket- Olympics 2004) England: Stamford Bridge (Chelsea) Spain: Vicente Calderon (Atletico de Madrid) Santiago Bernabeu (Real Madrid) Italy: San Siro (Milan) Germany: Franken Stadion (Nurnberg FC) Olimpiastadion Munich (Tour) Rep. of Turkey: Carsi (Inonu) (Besiktas) 19 of May Stadium (Ankaragucu) USA: RFK (DC United, Ethniki USA)

I agree. Ilyasova is a Turk- these places are all Turkic tribes.Sofo is not full-african or immigrant. He is Greek-African. His dad is Greek (white) mom Cameroon (black)....

To put Turkey above France is ridiculous! no its not....Turkey is better than France man...Turk Germany should be nowhere in that top 8. They did nothing, and never even looked like doing anything.

exactly. Germany blows so badly....it really is just Nowitski. They are so overated...The only reason they got to the finals is because they played awful teams... Speaking of easy draws....USA???? They havent played one real opponent yet....strongest was Slovenia..the rest of the teams they played are total garbage.. USA will destroy them complelty. And the American press will rant about it because they think Germany is a strong team... :LOL:

dude the mullet is awesome... :tup: somehow the mullet gets chicks :LOL: - seen his wife? shes fine... which brings me to the question....what is the word for that haircut in greek? i know barbouni is mullet in english (its probabl one of the best fish in the world :D ) barbouni is only the literal translation...but barbouni is only fish in greek... unless they took the mullet word/translation from america which i dont think happened.... anyways good luck to Fanis, he had interest from the bundesliga at Kallithea, i hope he starts and tops the charts :gr:

still not happy. Australia is a mediocre team, we should have finished them off way before...I want gold and these performaces wont get it....

thats not her....is it? besides what is she doing with a France kaskol? :huh: oh well at least its not Team USA :D useless fan anyhow.....SHOW YOUR TITS! :LOL: :LOL: :LOL:

mixed feelings about the win......one second we are making moments of brilliance, the other...embarassing. But its a win, and Greece announced its presence in the FIBA Championships. If we could shoot like the Lithuanians or Argentines or Spaniard we would be absolutley unstoppable. Our depth and our defense is the best in the world, hand down.

Greece losing to Lithuania..... good start, awful 2nd period.....maybe missed 60% free throws tragedy as usual.

WOW what an omadara!!! we came down from 23 - 7 to beat QATAR :tdown: we really are one of the worst of teams and shooting in the tournament. We were in the friendlies too that we won, very poor at shooting but strong elsewhere... Among the best in defense/teamplay, but shooting we are way down there. These guys cannot shoot at all its a huge weakness... Turkey just beat Lithuania, both teams looked much stronger...

What about ErtSat? its Free to air it might at least have recorded games.... You are in London (Im so sorry) right? There are some Greek places there im sure one of them has satelite - NOVA and Nova gets ALL greek channels....the games will definitly be on there. As for the "Sports" Illustrated they are complete idiots. The DUMBEST in the industry. And they are so godamn full of themselves!!!!! :angry: They know absolutley NOTHING about the teams they are playing --- and its their job to analyze and write about them!!!! I will bet you great money they have NEVER seen a Euroleague game, or bother paying attention to the leagues that a lot of the NBA's top players are coming from :whistle: Why did they pick these teams? Because they have a player that they know of in the NBA that they think will make the huge difference. Except in the real baskeball, one player has a much more difficult time taking control of the game for himself. Proof of this is mentioning Germany and Brazil in the top 8...Germany got a silver in Belgrad but come on guys.....they were crap :LOL: Brazil has a good NBA guy but the rest of the players are just average... Its not that he doesnt like Greece, Italy too should be in the top 8....afterall they did get a silver in the last world competition the OLYMPIC GAMES (which thanks to poutanopaido magazines like SI, Washington Post , tried their VERY HARDEST to scare away people from the Olympic games because of "terrorism" :LOL: sure, terrorism. But everybody that summer stayed in NYC, DC .....2 biggest targets in the enitre planet.. But Athens who has never had problem with islamic fundamentalists since 1821 :gr: is a giant threat. France over Greece, defending European champion who beat France twice, and once more this summer Germany over Greece- who absoltley humiliated Germany in the final (the game was just a formality, there was no doubt Greece would lose even) and demolished them weeks ago...like we are talking 40 mins of scheissersex all over Dirk Nowitzki :LOL:! They mentioned Germany got the silver.....who the hell got the GOLD THEN??? I am not boasting, claiming Greece is such an amazing team but we have gone and gotten a ton of results and I think we definitly warrant top 8 especailly over teams we owned.. and again over Italy who has some of europes top shooters and proved themselves in 04....they have always been a strong team, like Greece. Again France/Germany over them.....no way. Italy has always been a team I dont look forward to playing in basket... Beleive it or not the country is not all morons like these paliomalakes. The newer generations are becoming smarter and more open people... But on the subject of basket im pretty sure they are all full of subjective crap and theres not much hope. I am an American as well as Greek and I will cheer even for Turkey over the USA (IN BASKET ONLY) . If youve ever been surrounded by that awful arrogant "know it alls" who think there is no player worthy outside of American soil iim sure you could understand. NBA IS NOT BASKETBALL IN THE EXACT SAME RESPECT HOLLYWOOD IS NOT A REAL CINEMA. It is not taken seriously, it is made to showcase fancy traits and effects and make money.

england is so bizarre... they have so many blacks, so many serbs, russians, greeks, italians, jews - all the great basketball ethnicities living there and yet they cant make ONE real basketball player....i think they have one guy but hes like american or somehting.... wouldnt worry about watching the Qatar match....it will not be so interesting.

my dream situation:Greece advanceing, USA advanceing meeting up in the next stage( which we will if we go through) Greece winning by a buzzer shot from Diamantidis. Then again after a simple final, the USA and Greece meet in the semifinals... This time Greece stopping the Circus with great DEFNESE and beating them by a nice 14 points, eliminating them so they dont take " whats rightfull thiers" and Sports illustrated, ESPN and the rest of the ignorant basketball fans and 'analysts' in that country can SHUTUP again, and make stupid excuses like "we werent trying, were still the best team" and then in a 3rd place matchup for the bronze, Italy or Turkey beats USA by 7 points, leaving them so close to a medal, but left in their overated, ignorant reality yet again. Greece goes on to meet the Spanish in the final, where in a great game of REAL basket ball for Americas "Ghetto Boyz" can watch and learn about TEAM play and organization. And Greece wins by 5 points to be World Champion. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO TEAM "USA" :tdown: :tdown: :tdown: :tdown:

Italy 90/1 ?????? below GERMANY???? thats really strange....Italy has always had a strong team and even last Olympics.... id recommend dropping a dollar or two on that bet....if they hit form theres nobody they cant beat in the tournament.
