I think my ego will be unhurt if we play someone else for the third place!Yeah, but didn't you predict croatia and slovenia for third place?
I watched Germany- Turkey and I was really amazed how bad Turkey played. Okur was a complete non- factor. Kutluay and Ilyasova played bad as well. Looks like their chemistry is really bad.
I was also surprised that Italy lost both of their games. It will be interesting how the tournament goes on...
Good luck to your team, Streaky. We will meet again (after Belgrade 05) in Madrid. Be prepared for ass wooping!We will revenge that loss!
The quality is good. No announcers now that you mention it- just the sound of fans. Feels like you are at the game.
This is my third year to watch this way. I really enjoy it.
Darko Milicic completely lost it after Serbia lost to Greece in OT:

Probably only Spurstalk members from Slovenia (and other ex-Yugoslavia countries) will understand this, but maybe it's better that way. Basically it's just one swear word after another... (oriented towards the referees).
If anyone translates this to FIBA officials, he will probably get suspended for a game or two, if not even baned from the championship ...
I didn't watch the game, so I don't know if the refereeing was really that bad, but he sure picked the wrong way of commenting it.

Now I belive rumors were true. He is/was part of Serbian mafia. Don´t ask me for the link, becouse that were rumors.
Wow!!!!
I've seen/heard players meltdowns before but this is easily the worst one! Watched it twice because I couldn't believe he was really saying that stuff.
I had to smile a couple of times (after the reporter asks him to calm down) but when he actually threatens the refs family members (daughter) that took all the humour out of it.
He should be thrown out of the tournament for what he said in that video.
Eh, it was hardly any deviation from standard serbian talk.
I understand Darko a little bit after todays´ game against France. But we won!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyway.
Today's scores (so far):
05.09.2007
Israel 87 - 83 Serbia
Lithuania 84 - 80 Germany
Portugal 77 - 67 Latvia
Slovenia 67 - 66 France
I hope Turkey wins today. Come on Hedo!
I don't know what to wish for. Winner of Turkey/Chech game will be next Slovenian oponent on Saturday. Do we want Hedo or Jiri?I hope Turkey wins today. Come on Hedo!
Who is best for Slovenia to play match up wise?
When it comes to Slovenia, Hedo has to lose. ( Sorry Hedo!)
It would be nice if Hedo could get a win today before losing to us on Saturday.
Well, we are able to win against almost all teams, but in other hand we can lost to really anyone. So it doesn´t really matter who will be our next opponent.
Yeah but we have some unfinished business with Turkey...
Then I say, let's beat them big time.
Remind me what they did to us.
WC Japan.
Greece lost against Russia
Baring a surprise, Group E standings should be :
1. Spain
2. Russia
3. Greece
4. WGAF
Finishing 3rd in the group F will be better than finishing 2nd.
The 3rd team will have an easier quarter final than the 2nd one (Greece>Russia) and an easier Semi final (Spain>team X)
I wouldn't be surprised to see some tanking...
Well Bruno it seems like Croatia will upset Spain. 77-70 Cro, with 7 mins to go.
And Cro was down by 15+ in first half.
I thought we lost a heart breaker to China at the buzzer and then lost in the elimination round to Germany.
Must be mixing up my tournaments.
All I remember from WC Japan is not sleeping since I was up at all hours watching games.
Well 11-0 run by Spain
Croat Tomas hit 3 pointer with 3 sec to go. Cro +1 !
Croatia won!!!
