Is the US with their 10th team They could have sent their college kids for the laughs just as well. By the way, i'm not a big basketball fan as a whole and i'm not paying that much attention to the Cup. This first group stage looks like a one big chore. It doesn't feel like THE WORLD CUP, only every 4 years, the best players, dunkers etc. 32 teams is too much for basketball. I know, i know, like everything they want to make it a big global thing. If they insisted on 32, they could have done with a few more european teams i reckon, to feel a bit more, umm, relevant. If you don't count the US, there are going to be hardly any european loses to a non-european teams.

I have said it for a decade that Bolt is dirty and they protected him for money and success it brought to the sport. One day things will come clean.

Have to see it to believe it

Every Euro Champ in all sports (bar mens football) should be with 16 teams period.. Stop bloathing the competitions for some minor benefits, which are not even visible. Poor games, poor attendance, 70% irrelevant matches. And they want bigger interest..

It doesn't matter if we have one Sokolov, or four Sokolovs.. The results will be the same. There will always be something that comes up. And in this match, there were two better players than him, at least for me.

Nothing will happen in january, better look for someone else.

Brazil is laughing their a$$es on how they pulled out this match

And of course, why should i expect anything good to ever happen to us.. Played amazing for 2.5 sets and gave it all in that third and puff after that everything collapsed. We are a small team and nothing can change that. Women lose 2:3 and won't go to Olympics, men lose 2:3 and probably won't go to Olympics. Same old, same old in the small nations world..

We need those first sets intensity. The time is now, enough important loses damn it

This is it for the set. All or nothing now. And everything was so amazing..

Brazil is amped up after that set win. Please don't let them take a big lead

Nothing is done just yet.. But that third set, oh boy. That was some hard stuff, hard play, big emotions. Fitting for a big match

This match is not good for my nerves

Oh man, don't want to jinx anything

Congrats to Poland for a well deserved victory

France > Italy (Serbia) > Bulgaria > Germany > Slovenia > Netherlands > Belgium > Finland If lucky, Bulgaria won't be in this selection

Guess there is no hope for us against Brazil

If i'm honest, disappointing performance by our team for me. Our big names are doing their job, but the rest are constantly in the last few places. Being in the middle in the second division is not what i expected.

This could be true, but out of all big teams, we beat Poland the most, so i don't anger that much with them.

That's not on our Eurosport though. Sadly no darts whatsoever is being shown here as of this year. Which is very unfortunate for me, as i have barely watched any darts this year, because of it.

The favorites are winning their matches, some harder than expected, but still no slips so far. Let's see if Slovenia (or Belgium) can bring a surprise in this first day.

On this day, 20 years ago, Vladimir Putin became the worlds most powerful and famous leader. Aren't you getting bored Vladimir?

I wouldn't bet on that. We'll see what happens, i'm watching Brazil right now and not that impressed with how they are playing. But i'm sure against us it will be a whole different story.
