Men's Basketball FIBA Olympic Games Qualification Tournament 2021


Recommended Posts

Crazy to have Olympics without Turkey, Greece, Lithuania, Serbia and Canada. Never would have bet on Italy or the Czech Republic qualifying. Too bad that Germany will miss most of their players, but at least most of them are young enough to play in 2024.

 

My prediction for the Olympics:

Group A: USA first, France second

Group B: Australia first, Italy/Germany second

Group C: Spain first, Slovenia second


Medal winners: Gold for USA, silver/bronze for Australia, silver/bronze for Spain/France/Slovenia

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

Actually, Canada last played in 2000, and Turkey in 1952! Also Italy was silver in 2004.

 

Anyway, I still don't like that 6 out of 12 teams are European.

    • I've read many years ago that the switch to artificial grass kinda kill the sport at grassroots level in these two countries.
    • India and Pakistan totally losing the plot in this sport, sad.
    • Lisa Vittozzi and Francesca Lollobrigida on the Sanremo’s stage
    • Interesting, for only 2 months i think i have seen some kind of coin from all of the big countries - Germany, Italy, Spain, Holland, France, Portugal, Belgium, Finland, Ireland and yes the 2 euro from Croatia. But some of them were the smaller ones, 10, 5, 2 cents.    Expectedly there aren't any from the smaller countries so far. Nothing from the Baltics, Cyprus, Slovenia, Malta, Andorra etc. But also a bit surprising i haven't seen any from Greece yet.    Don't know from what part of Italy are you, but it's safe to say that when summer hits there will be a lot of Bulgarians visiting Rome, so i'm sure they'll bring some of our coins to spread around.
    • I choose to collect only coins in circulation (and I have also found coins in circulation that should not be on the market; you can find a bit of everything). From my experience, it takes 4-5 years for coins to reach southern Italy, so I have no idea how it will work in Bulgaria. Incidentally, I am curious to see when I will see my first Bulgarian coin. I have not yet seen a Croatian coin (introduced in 2023!).
    • Yes, i saw that there are a lot of commemorative coins. But to get some of those, i would need to buy them, as i don't know how much of them are in circulation. And the chances of such making it to Bulgaria are rather slim.    Still, if i find some sports ones on a good price, maybe i will order a few.
    • lost against  at P.S.O. Pro League will resume in june.  
    • Have you already started looking for the hundreds of commemorative 2 euro coins? There are loads of them, including sports-themed ones.
    • Don't know if someone else is collecting Euro coins, but since we joined the zone it's been fun looking at what you can get.    It took only 2 months, but today i finally got my first Slovakian coin.  @hckošice
