[3rd place] Game 89/A: FYR of Macedonia - Russia

[Kalashnikov]

We could easily won all 3 matches, as we could lose all of them as all 3 go down to the buzzer.

Feels like the luck have not been equally distributed.

Sucks.

what do you mean not enough luck?

FYROM won on the buzzer against Croatia, Finland, Georgia, Lithuania

and lost on the buzzer twice from Russia.

Don't have photos, but I really liked the fact, that during the ceremony Bo came with the flag of Makedonija - that was awesome! even TV operators were capturing him instead of MVP

I wounder, what are his true feelings and motives to represent Makedonija? Was it money (maybe firstly?), or love to basketball and a huge wish to participate in Eurobasket?
And what are his feelings now?

Just a random question about Greece. How much more popular soccer is in Greece compared to Basketball. Is it close?

From 1987 until early in the millenium, Basketball was number 1 sport in Greece. Following 2004 with the European championship by Greece, Football has taken the lead (with Basketball well fixed on 2nd place) until today.

But due to the corruption scandals in the Greek football, and the success of the basketball NT, I believe that Basketball will soon be once again at the top...

basketball was never clearly number 1 sport..but there was a time from 87 till mid,late 90s where it really gave soccer a run for its money.It's not the case anymore.

[skrstevsky]

a valid basketball argument...

Yep it was 3 points, lets forget the zeros and the minus
