Israel second year in row in final! They beat France 83:57!!

 

Second semifinal is Germany-Croatia and both teams are without medal at EC U20 :yikes: So, this will be first medal for Germany or Croatia or both maybe :d This is really suprise for me. Croatia always was good in young categories.

Israel won gold without problems. Great generation. They destroyed all opponents in elimination round (Spain, France and finally Croatia in final). So first ever medal for Croatia at U20 (silver) and also for Germany (bronze). France without medal this time.

 

Sweden, Romania and Iceland regalated. And Poland, Slovenia and Latvia promoted in A division.

I think only Germany beat them in group stage. Good generation for Israel, but probably no NBA talent. In my opinion U20 is less important than U18 anyway. Too many top talents were missing, France was missing 10 guys or so and Germany was also missing 3 out of their usual starting 5. U20 isn't a great indicator for future success in my opinion.

Another tournament without the majority of top talents, France and Germany don't seem to care much about junior tournaments sadly. I think there are maybe 5-10 guys who have NBA potential, but noone with the potential to be a lottery pick.

Germany is absolutely sensational in this age category, they could win a historic first title today. I think Germany, Spain, Latvia and Hungary are qualified for the U19 world cup next year, the 5th team will be decided today. Dont know if Germany ever qualified for a basketball world cup on the womens side before. If there will be a live stream next year i might very well watch womens basketball for the first time in my life then.

    • Papszun took over in December when Legia was in 17th place already. Edward Iordanescu started the season and former player Inaki Astiz was a caretaker for two months. This duo combined for a club record 12 match winless streak that dropped Legia to relegation zone. The club's previous worst streak was 11 matches in 1966 
    • With the halved swimming distance, the one point drop is now every 0.2s instead of 0.5s.
    • Unbelievable mess in Men's Ski Cross final in  today. Big crash & 3 riders were DNF. The only finisher was relegated for causing the crash, so the winner was the DNF guy who got furthest down the hill!  
    • Papszun led Legia to the relegation zone? Pioli did the same with Fiorentina this season, but he was fired long time ago.

    • I told you , the lobby of Satanyahu controles your countries        French ICC Judge Nicolas Guillou is living a nightmare after the US sanctioned him and other judges for issuing an arrest warrant against  Prime Minister Saranyahu  https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2026/02/18/us-sanctions-turn-international-criminal-court-judges-daily-life-into-a-nightmare  
    • Yes, that's Haaland's cousin Braut Brunes. If he has a bad day Raków is usually scrapping for 1-0 victory unless they concede a goal. Ivi Lopez is the playmaker but he's not as sharp since an injury last season.   Lech & Jagiellonia are the two strongest clubs right now, Raków probably #3. I discount league surprises and of course Legia which is stuck in relegation zone 
    • On transfermarkt, Raków is worth 42 million euros and Jagiellonia only 32, but it is known that this is only a theory. On paper, the most valuable clubs in Poland are Lech and Raków: €42 million each. Raków have a strong Norwegian attacker from what I can see on internet.
    • Fiorentina gets another  club Raków Czestochowa in R16     Raków manager Marek Papszun moved to Legia lately and the club is slightly less demanding than Jagiellonia IMO. They're unlikely to score more than 1-2 goals in a game even in our league but have a better defense.
