nenad 361 Posted June 29, 2021 #152 Share Posted June 29, 2021 83:64 But Mexico leading vs Germany at the half in Split 42:40 is a big surprise so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

intoronto 4,252 Posted June 30, 2021 #156 Share Posted June 30, 2021 97 91 Canada clearly rusty, Greece was the better team in the first half, and it seemed like Canada started to gel in the second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makedonas 1,599 Posted June 30, 2021 #157 Share Posted June 30, 2021 I didn't waste my time watching it (the time was also difficult for us) but I'm surprised it was that close. Thought Canada would win easily so I guess that's a good sign. We still have some good players on this roster, we just lack the depth that we used to have in the past (and obviously all of our injuries/absences made that situation worse).

If anything Greece should have won this game. Greece had practice matches and were used to being a team. This was Canada's first matchup and it was clear there was no cohesion/team work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDOG 2,199 Posted June 30, 2021 #159 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Turkey won but looked absolutely terrible against maybe the weakest team among all the tournaments. Some crazy trivia: it was Uruguay's first official game against an european team since 1986 and we're talking about a team that used to play WCs and olympics regularly for decades.

nenad 361 Posted June 30, 2021 #160 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Teams really had little time to prepare for this, which shows. Serbia also struggled at home vs Dominican Republic, Turkey struggled, Germany struggled and Canada vs Greece was a joy to watch. Greece played great offensively in the first half, they hit a lot of threes, I think 8 but when Canada started playing defense a little better and when Wiggins and Barrett came out to play in second half, it was over. It's Canada's to lose but as with every other tournament you have to win two single elimination games so you'll never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
