Group D, day 4, Spain vs. Lithuania
These two will meet each other for the third time this summer. Spain was better in both preparation games, winning them by 21 and 19 points. But the most important game is this one. And when it matters, anything can happen. Both teams are far from showing their best basketball. Spain managed to loose the championship opener against France, Lithuania despite the wins didn't look convincing against New Zealand and Canada.
Game time: 21:00 GMT+3
Host city: Izmir
According to lrytas.lt Fiba decided to forbid to bring drums into the arenas. Apparently there were some incidents in other venues, so the federation decided to ban them all.
The strange thing is, that all the officials are happy with the fans and the atmosphere, that they create in the arena, all cameramen just love to catch them it the act after some successful episode of the game, but for some reason Fiba is still trying to ruin all this.
Version 2. It all might be just a duck of the media just to irritate the readers and annoy with something, as the article is very sleek, without a name of any official.
Finally, portuguese sports channell will broadcast a game not involving USA or Angola!!! Thanks SportTV, tomorrow a Euro Classic

no mate ,i am sober ,No Greece today.
These Portoguese ...lack of humor
i'm going to put my money on Lit on this one, i know spain are the world champs, but they havent impresses one bit soo far.
anyways, i think it'll be a rather very close game.
Well, Turks have a good sence of humors.. U.S. of America
Kinda Boratish. U.S. and A.Well, Turks have a good sence of humors.. U.S. of America
I'm skeptical about this one, although Spain's bad performance gives us some hope. And we really need a win, because losing would almost guarantee us the 3rd place in the group and meeting USA in the quarter-final (if we beat Turkey or Greece, which is of course not easy too). So second or first place in the group would be sooo much better, China, Russia and Puerto Rico are all very beatable.
Even though I'll heartily support the greens, I think the reds will win easily.
Spain +15
Lith +10
spain for sure 15+
easy win for the rojas..but either result wouldn't suprise me anymore in this WC.
"The worst part is wondering how you’ll find the strength tomorrow to go on doing what you did today and have been doing for much too long,where you’ll find the strength for all that stupid running around,those attempts to escape from crushing necessity,which always founder and serve only to convince you one more time that destiny is implacable,that every night will find you down and out,crushed by the dread of more and more sordid and insecure tomorrows.~Céline
I will probably watch this game and I predict Spain to win.
Spain +20
Spain + 3
