congratulations, see you in the 2014 worlds and the 2015 eurobasket. oh, and the 2016 euroleague f4, which will no doubt be awarded to the beautiful city of barcelona, and quite rightly so.Originally posted by Richey666yeah. fuck it. greece vs turkey, i dont care, whoever wins, I lose

Germany's bid now beside France includes Zagreb and Milano as well
I've got an idea... let's just determine London, Moscow, Istambul and Madrid as the regular group stage venues, Berlin and Paris as the elimination stage and Rome for the final venue... we're covered for the next 20 years and spared of over sugarly pan-european cross border organisation plans and once more, noone will be held responsible if any european championship will be as dissastrous as the one in Sweden since you can't hold 7 federations responsible.
If Fiba Europe would't include as much power from basketball marginal countries (still searching for a logical translation of vukojebina) such as Andora, Luksemburg or Cyprus I would at least have hope that the organisation would've lol'd once or twice at such fairy tales and go with the best candidate, but this way I am afraid they might as well go with this plan.
Germans, no dissrespect, but if you desire to organise such an event, do your best and do it on your own. Candidature of 4 countries is just not serious and if a country as Germany isn't able to put in the resounces to succesfully hold an european championship, than they shouldn't get one. This co-hosting is for my criteria acceptable for smaller economies that basicaly wouldn't be able to do it all on their own, even if given their best.
I normaly don't do that, but this time I'm praying this plan fails for the sake of bball.Originally posted by Jon_KoncakThat's funny shit.I cant believe there are sports fans thinking like it.It's like Federer losing to random Japanese player in round 1 of French Open but tournament director stepping in and saying "hey it was a fluke win who wants to watch a random Japanese guy in next round,Federer qualifies"

Belgium also qualified legitimately, while Bosnia and Ukraine (for example) had to also rely on FIBA bailing them out. I think your 'East / South Europe' theory is quickly unravelling.....

4 countries for one tournament? Really? What the fuck..
I hope Macedonia can host something, though I doubt it. We hosted the UEFA Women's U-19 European Championship! That counts for something, right? ..

biding togheter with 4 nations is just proof of danko radic and basketball federation idiotisam
thanks to handball and being touristic countrie we could organise in 5 days tournament for 48 countries, not 24
6-7 neaw built arenas over last few years, 3 of them for 10000+ people, + few good old arenas with one 10000+, and and 2 of them for 7000 and 5000 people. and bunch of hotels and apartments who are half empty in this time of year
ok, state is in crisies. but lol, others need to invest 3-4 time more then us
i'm 100% sure because being neighburs with slovenia, serbia, bih, montenegro, italy, close to maccedonia, whille also having regular guests from germany, france, czech and whole europe would just make tournament pay's of it self
but our morons are to dumb to relize thatJordi Bertomeu sucks!

Well, for 2015 it's not Germany anymore, it's France and friends apparently ...
I don't know how the project started, but it looks like we somehow took over.
My local newspaper had more details on the 4 countries bid.
First round in Strasbourg, Milan, Berlin and Zagreb
Second round : 1 venue per country again. Lyon (ASVEL) and Dunkirk (Gravelines) are competing for hosting the games in France. I don't have any details for the other 3 countries.
Knockout games : all in Paris in the renovated Bercy area.
the newspaper said there were 4 countries and 7 cities concerned.
If both Lyon and Dunkirk count, then the second round games will also be played in Zagreb Milan and Berlin. If not, one of the other 3 countries will also use another arena for the second roung games.
Cost of the project : 35-40 mil euros. More than half for France alone.
