Very talented team, they sacrificed u19 to win this at home. Topić in my opinion should have played for u19 team, but it's nice to win something at least. Bošnjaković who is one year younger has played terrific final as well, he's a Real Madrid player.

Encouraging 3rd place for Germany even without 3 of their biggest talents (Bonga, Kalu, Duru). First ever medal for Germany at U18 level. Kharchenkov, Kayil and to some degree Grünloh looked promising. Kharchenkov and Kayil (and Anderson) are young enough to come back next year.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

We had an invitational tournament in the FIBA World Cup venue as a preparation to the Asian Games and probably as a consolation to the national team which failed to qualify to the World Cup. Syria and UAE are invited, where they will play with Indonesian senior and junior team.

 

By the first day, a lot of drama has happened. First match on 4 PM was originally Indonesia A vs Syria, but 2 hours before the match it became Indonesia A vs Indonesia B because the Syrian team just arrived less than 24 hours before the match.

 

Syrian team played UAE later in the evening and the organizers played Saudi anthem for the UAE team. Obviously they protested and requested to play the correct anthem, but the organizers weren't able to do it so the Emiratis were asked to sing their own anthem aloud :lol:

    • Also, Mondo Duplantis has announced he is skipping the Euros but is going to China for the Worlds.  Imagine lots of other established names will do the same.  Some might prefer to skip the travel of course & just do Apeldoorn.
