Quarterfinals: Greece vs Nigeria

[KWSN-Men]

I didnt offend you by telling you what you are and its my right to hate albanians pao fans...
Its not racism.I just hate albanians pao fans more than the greek ones.

You're a funny guy.

You make people laugh.

A lot of people were happy today! that shows a lot.

[Straight forward]

Two historical wins for Nigeria in two days! Not too shabby huh!

And they will bang as hard as they can against Russia as well. Surprise of the tournament, no single doubt!

[Blackway]

Nigeria won.

Refs let Nigeria play a little "different" breed of basketball but it's ok. Hopefully, this will spread basketball in their country.

Oh look, the guy called "Gabe" that harasses and insults everyone who is not American at the FIBA message boards has dropped in to rub it in and brag about the refs robbing Greece.

Yes, such a pathetic fan base, that we are upset that we just got robbed of the Olympics by the refs and everyone here knows it. Even the Lithuanians admit it, and for Lithuanians to admit that for a Greek team - that is unbelievable.

who cares if you are in the olympics? you never made it out of the quarterfinals in your history. why would this year have been any different

΄΄Olympiakos΄΄,you are right.
They stole us in Euro 2012,they stole us to this tournament,too...

[Olympiacos]

And stop blaming refs greeks, you got 8 more free throw tries against Nigeria, 28 in the game like you usually do. Had the players not missed 11 free throws, you wouldnt even be in a position to lose.

The refs robbed us of a win and the Olympics and you think we should just let it go.........OK whatever man. You know if it happened to Puerto Rico, I am sure the vast majority of Greeks here would feel bad for you.

But in our case, it's "stop blaming the refs" - even though it is the ref's fault that we lost the game.

For the new users (and for oldies as well), more OT, flamewars, flamebait, insults and the like will be rewarded with post deletion and immediate ban.
Thanks.

Congrats to Nigeria. Very athletic and disciplined team. If you start to give some assists,play some systems and do not rely so much on 1-on-1 situations you will become unbeatable.

Please,mate,you mean exactly this:
You always be eliminated from quarter-finals in the Olympics,why do you want to qualify to be eliminated again?
Of course,your comment is ridiculous.Sorry,mate!

I agree but the Greeks left their fate in the hands of a referee and referees make mistakes. We could go round and round with this argument but the fact is that, even if the referees screwed up on one play Greece still put themselves in that position. The blame should go around.

It was not a mistake, it was an intentional help to give Nigeria the win.

Don't forget that Nigeria got 2 free throws just seconds earlier, when they missed a shot, and were not even fouled, and actually were guilty of an offensive foul.

I suppose you think this all a coincidence and a mistake? I assure you that this forum would be crashed right now with hundreds of Americans crying and calling for blood if this was done to Team USA.

The site would crash from all the Americans posting.
