Well Brazil can defeat USA “D” team.

 

I’m more worried about Mexico being overconfident and losing in Montevideo.

provided that Brazil wins USA and Argentina wins Dominican Rep then Brazil wouldnt qualify as best 4th placed team? no matter what would be the result of Mexico

waiting for today's (the afternoon one, of course)...:lol:

 

by the way, Germany was really impressive...and not only last night...

they have a plan, they execute well and yesterday they also had an unreal shooting percentage from the arch...

 

Spain isn't convincing at all so far, but somehow they always manage to escape any trouble...

winning culture, I guess...it's the 11th consecutive time they make the top 4 at the Europeans (and 9 of the last 10 times they also got a medal, they were 4th only in 2005)...:yikes:

fun fact, last time they missed out on the semifinals was in 1997, when Eurobasket was played in...Spain! (finals in Barcelona, Jugoslavija winning gold against Italy, coached at the time by Ettore Messina)...

this is a characteristic of Germans..

Great win for :MEX over :USA

 

Wish I was there but 1) I just got back to work after a month and 2) it's a 4 hour drive from my home lol

 

Pleased by the crowds, all 8,5k tickets sold out for night matches, which is huge considering the prices (most tickets are like R$200). Of course first match of the day was mostly attended by students who got in for free, but at least there was people there :lol:

 

I hope they bring back more competitions to Recife cause that's the only realistic way I could go.

Bruno Caboclo and Raul Neto i think are the only absences from brazil's roster

very proud performance by Croatia, but Giannis (and his teammates) were just too strong in the end...

 

Italy trying to make their own life complicated against Estonia...

but we all know it's gonna be a very difficult championship for us, especially after Gallinari's injury...:cry:

I think Italy's main weakness is the absence of high class guards
