2012 Olympic Qualifying Tournament

[Pero Antic]

You're comparing yourself to Team USA? Macedonia will be ground to dust. Rondo and D-Will will foul your McCalebb out, then LBJ or Blake Griffin will posterize Peric, Samardziski will be taken care of. Stojanovski will be the only one able to shine due to his 3-pt shooting, and the score will be something like 70-100 if USA plays to its fullest. No, you're not the strongest team in Europe. Spain, France and Russia (Greece and Lithuania probably as well) are stronger than you.

I completely agree with gary81. If everything goes well, Russia, Greece and Lithuania will be in the Olympics.

1. Bold: Who again is Peric??? Stop smoking weed dude!!

2. Bold: Who says that? of course there are stronger teams Greece and Lithuania are probably not one of them. must hurt......

Hi,guys,although Macedonia shine in last year's Eurobasket , I still think Russia, Greek and Lithuania will get the tickets to London. I like the style of Macedonia ,but to tell the truth , the three teams I mentioned are more stronger than Macedonia.
They have more experience in international competition. Maybe Macedonia will give us a surprise ,who knows.

Lithaunia could beat them ,we beat Lithaunia, so we beat USA now .

[Pero Antic]

we play against USA and we win ,its possilbe. we missed 4 important players ,they miss 6 shitty players. we win anyway in july .

btw.


[Take it easy... rikhardur] greece ,we beat them easy ,no matter russia lose. when we have 4 players then we win against russia too.

u cant be seroius

[stojanov8]

I am Macedonian but i am realistic too there is no reason to make statements like we are the new USA of europe or they should be lucky to play with us. They missed six players we missed four. That we beat them speak for us and our team spirit and that we play good bball but in the olympic qualifiers it will be harder.


btw.

Greece : Russia 66-63

Lithuania - Macedonia 74:78 FT

here we go again.......

Good result, especially considering our team is almost entirely a second team. Some of the youngsters look promising.

By the way, are there any highlights or footage of the game?

OK lets see Macedonia play without their naturalised import and we will play without Kleiza. Oh, hang on Kleiza didnt play in Eurobasket 2012 thats right..Well now how will you stop him? Wish for an injury again? We played without our main man now lets see what answers you will have now!

Our answers were satisfactory, it seems. Also, if you want to play the injury game, we were without Todor Gecevski when we played you in the Euros.

you Makedonian or not Pero Antic? Lithaunia is lucky too play against us. We had McCalebb and Antic ,we crush them +15. Lithaunia basketball is over.

Yes they are still favorites because of the history please don't troll around. Its just a friendly They played without their key players too and could have easily won with a bit more luck.

Well, if i have to chose: to play slow and ugly basketball and win or to play fast and dunk all the time and lose I´ll go with the first one.

PS: I am still waiting for Some Lithuanian "experts" to show up to tell me again how Macedonia without mccaleb is nothing........poor guys must be heart killing.

I personally respect your team and coach very much - professional approach, no diva behaviour (unlike our dear "leader" Kleiza) and perfect execution. I wish you guys all the best and hope you qualify for Olympics, because you surely deserve it.

[Pero Antic]

Wait moment nobody said that your style is something wrong ,no! ofcourse its your desicion to play the style you want.And Lithuanian style is definitely its not some loosing one...last year you made top4 right? very good performance ! Lithuanians did that in 1992-1995-1996-2000-2003-2004-2007-2008-2010 so dont act that lithuanians dont know how to win...

Im like the fact we lost twice to macedonia and if we gonna you meet in QF and going to look ahead to this,because i know what mentally and what mindset gonna be in Lithuanians players heads...BUt ok its just a future,Congratalution Macedonia very solid performance ;]

why always you guys think we dont respect your past results? we know what you have achieved and of course you know how to win seriously i expected a defeat from my side but it turn into more and more during the game.
You will be a lot better in the qualifiers and i would rather play Russia or Greece in full squad than you again but we don't chose our opponents.

Good luck Anyway in the qualifiers!
