Antaeus7 Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 (edited) Greece is ranked #2 in the world according to FINA In this match, I think Greece are the underdogs. Serbia are the defending Olympic champions from 2016. Spain has a solid team. They too can play defense like Greece.

Antaeus7 Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 (edited) A good showing by Antigoni Drisbioti. She finished 8th place with a season's best of 1:31:24.

I actually prefer Serbia to Spain. Still a team to be respected, but Spain has been very good at this olympics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted August 6, 2021 Author Share Posted August 6, 2021 Excellent showing by our water polo team against a powerhouse Hungary. Our best ever showing in the Olympics. Now that we got all the way to this point we have to go give it all for the gold. This will be a tough match, but we can do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antaeus7 Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Serbia leads the tournament in scoring.They knocked out both Italy and Spain who are top defensive teams. Greece will need another super effort on defense to neutralize Serbia's attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paokara777 Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 I'm gutted. I thought when they tied it up in the 3rd quarter they would come back to win. they were looking good. Serbia's goalkeeper was too good though he made some amazing saves. oh well. silver this time. maybe Paris 2024 we can improve for our first Olympic gold 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antaeus7 Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 (edited) Two penalties conceded from Greece is not going to get it done. No matter how good your defense is, Serbia always find a way to score even in difficult situations. Hats off to Greece for a wonderful tournament. They did their best till the end. Greece finishes the Olympic games with 4 medals. This one is pretty memorable. We are looking forward to Paris 2024. 🙂 Edited August 8, 2021 by Antaeus7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
