Dominican Republic is an athletic team with a lot of potential. However DR is missing some height and they play a little bit chaotic. I do not know if the diaspora collected money to bribe Angola :D but as the situation is now I think F.Y.R of Macedonia will win the quarter final.
 
I think that F.Y.R of Macedonia did show great defence during the first 10 min against New Zeland. And after that not more than necessary until the last 7-8 minutes. Importent is that we show 10 minutes that we can play defence like 2011 if we want to which was not the case against Angola. If we playd defence against Angola they lose by 20 points.

From now and on I hope to see insperation in defence 40 min.
 
FYROM needs to pressure Coronado (turnover-rpone) and let DR shoot the threes. Keep them out of the zone and force Martinez to shoot from the distance. Foul him - Not a good FT shooter.
DR is terrible on defense. Problem of FYROM is, that players arent that fast. I was suprised to see Cekovski and Gecevski being that fat. Bo needs to speed up the game if he has the hands on the ball. Same goes for Ilievski.
 
You will get fat by playing in our domestic league ha ha. And Gecevski did so the whole year for 400.000 euros.

MZT is a great basketball project and ha sjust joined the strong ABA league and have plan to qualifying for EL 2015.

Just pity that we joined ABA 2012/2013 and not 2011/2012 allready. Gecevski is out of shape.
 
I will support Dominican Republic
and I believe that FYROMians will
loose...

I dont say <Macedonians>,because my origin is from Thessaloniki,so I am Macedonian,too,but I belong to a different nation.It is too strange for me to tell that...
Yes,OK,I supported you in Eurobasket in your first match against Russia,maybe I will support you again,I dont tell that never support you,but this time I will prefer the dominican team.
 
FYROM should get this one easily...they tend to start-off slow but gain momentum in subsequent games
 
Correct. You did smash us 2009 in Poland with 30 points or something but later on we beat Israel, Croatia and Germany and almost Russia too we lost with 71-69.
 
Bwin keeps Macedonia favourite.

FYR Macedonia 1.60
Dominican Republic 2.20

Jovica Arsic was the main reason we didn't played in the quarterfinals in 2009 i remember Mozgov had 4 personal fouls in the last quater and played 10 mins and making crucial points for the Russians noone played 1:1 against him to foul him out. Very Big Mistake. At the end we lost because Mirakovski missed the lay up in the final second of the game (just like Stojanovski did two years later). Man i now realize how extremly tight those games have been and how unlucky we lost every time. Could have played in the WC 2010.....

I can not blame Jovica Arsic. We hade 4 points lead 34 min, then Todor Gecevski injury his knee and didint play last 5 min. That wos the key.

Ye maybe we should put on more stress on Mozgov try to force the 5th faul but allways risky to play like that you might gett fouls yourself.

Yeee Russia really has been lucky against us over the last few years. Winning all matches in the last seconds. Even one buzzer beater.
 
ok ,we beat domincan republic , we play versus porto riko than win!! than play olympic . i think we possible beat usa in olympic. what you're think Македонци?
 
Dominican Republic has terrible defense. I don't think they can win a knock out game against a quality European team, unless they really improve their defensive effort. Because so far it's almost zero. They would actually have a decent chance to qualify, if they just gave even a little bit of effort on defense.
