Short day that ends between Prague and Milan, with a good part of the favorites who did the job. The kind of sentence that would have been different if the Italians had not missed their match once morest Ukraine. Home. It’s ugly.
Today’s results
- Poland – Israel: 85-76
- Croatia – Estonia: 73-70
- Britain – Greece : 77-93
- Czech Republic – Netherlands: 88-80
- Ukraine – Italy: 84-73
- Serbia – Finland: 100-70
We had warned, this day was unlikely to enter the legend of European basketball. Fortunately for the pitch (and unfortunately for the Italians), we still got our upset of the day. Italy therefore, defeated at the end of the day once morest Ukraine and therefore not far from having to defeat Croatia tomorrow so as not to put themselves in a too uncomfortable situation from the eighth, with a poisoned gift once morest Serbia to be more precise. Why Serbia? Because Nikola Jokic and his friends played in Prague once morest fragile Finns and two feet, two legs and one ear in first place, who were already leading by 30 pawns at halftime, forcing us to inadvertently zap and realize that Kendji Jirac may not be the best actor of his generation even though he looks nice. Also note that Greece had left Giannis Antetokounmpo at the repopo once morest Great Britain, we will monitor that but long live the load management, to note finally that it is the eternal Sloukas who did the job in the absence of the Freak. Otherwise ? Israel are no longer undefeated following their loss to Poland and the Czechs beat the Netherlands, while the Croats pissed off but finally beat those cute Estonians with decisive shots in the clutch. Go shoo, some pictures, some rankings, and all to bed before a big day tomorrow.
