Just beaten by Slovenia (88-82), the‘Team France suffered its second defeat and the Blues thus finished in third place in Group B, behind Slovenia and Germany. Now, the group stages are over and we will have to focus on the rest. A continuation which does not look easy since in eighth, the Blues will be opposed to Turkey of Cedi Osman, Furkan Korkmaz and Alperen Sengun.
France will have tried everything but the reigning European champion – and especially Luka Doncic – was too strong. Third place in the end therefore in Group B aka the group of death (which will not have stolen its name) behind Slovenians above the fray and Germans ultra welded and pushed by their public. Our Tricolores can feed some regrets following a failed entry once morest the Mannschaft as well as a rather filthy money-time once morest Slovenia, but things are what they are and now we will have to get our heads together before facing Turkey in the round of 16.
Finishing in second place in Group A following their loss to Spain, the Turks were guaranteed to be in for a big chunk anyway. Finally, it will be neither Luka Doncic nor Dennis Schroder but indeed Evan Fournier and his friends. After the Lithuania – Spain formalized this followingnoon, this France – Turkey is therefore the second poster of the round of 16 which is revealed. A fairly balanced opposition, where our Blues are still favorites on paper. But let’s not go to work too quickly, where the field will quickly take care of restoring the truth. To follow the match, it will be this Saturday on the Berlin side but the time has yet to be determined. Moreover, the good news of the day is undoubtedly there: the meeting will of course be commented on live on the YouTube channel of TrashTalkso we are waiting for you.
France will therefore face Turkey, this Saturday, for the 8th of EuroBasket 2022.
This match will be commented on, live, on the TrashTalk YouTube channel.

Cancel everything you had planned for this Saturday, because this France – Turkey is absolutely unmissable. After the failure of 2017, our Blues have a real shot this time to go further in the competition. Objective now: forget Slovenia and prepare as well as possible to face the Turks.
