Watch the second rematch of the two teams that fought for the gold medal in the 2006 World Championships of basketball. They meet again today at the 2007 Eurobasket.

Back in 2006, during the finals of the World Championships, Spain quickly became the underdogs as they lost Pau Gasol to a leg injury prior to the game. They were, after all, playing against a Greek team that shocked the Americans the day before. However, the Spanairds used a terrific effort by Jorge Garbajosa and showed a lot of heart in handily defeating Greece 70-47.

In their first meeting during the second round of Eurobasket, Spain easily handled Hellas 76-58 behind 20 points from Rudy Fernandez.

Today is the second rematch of the two powerhouses. Look for Greece to put up more of a fight this time around after being topppled twice in a row by the Spanairds. Follow the progression of the game and discuss it with Spanairds and Greeks and more in our intenational basketballl forum.

Spain returns the majority of their team and have had little trouble in the tournament, other than a setback by Croatia. While Greece, who has won three games by 3 points or less including a spectacular comeback against Slovenia in the semis, isn’t playing nearly as cohesive as they did two years ago.
