    Well, it was a hell of a match! Congratulations to Russia. Fyrom doesn't have a deep bench so the refs tried to keep a balance due to many fouls that Fyrom did at the first 2 quarters. They killed Russia by not giving them clasic fouls at the last one but they proved to be a big team! Congrats also to Fyrom for all their efforts.They were magnificent. Russia deserved to be at the final.

    I can't accept at least half of the Greek users on this forum not appreciating the basketball coherence of FYR of Macedonia just because some TV commentators are leading them towards nationalistic pride. If Greece had been so well coached and so persistent in winning, matching up with the best teams (not with as much luck as the Greeks had in this tournament, even taking out Gecevski's injury), they would have been a medal contender

    On the contrary! Every commentator talked with the greatest admire of Fyrom's team.

    Ridiculous, I thought it was a coincidence hen reffs give Predrag 3 non existing fauls against Spain.

    But when this happens twice in a row then someone knows that Gecevski and Nikolovski are injured and that Cekovski are the worst player in EC.

    I think Fiba dont care. I can not proove this but i now hat Greeks are behind this. This is unfair to the player who give the heart on the court and than someone pay money. I guess Greeks has no heart.

    You can say what ever you want I dont care but this is what happened.

    They do not belong to europ they belong to africa, but cuz of USA-geografic nato plans 50 years ago they are in europ.

    If you cant score under the basket with 6.5 left you are not worthy of bronze medal, simple as that.

    I was constantly supporting our neighbors and I really wanted them to advance in the finals. I have also congratulated them many times in the past and praised their team often. So cut out your nationalistic BS. Greece has nothing to do with the fact of the extremely biased refereeing in favor of FYRo Macedonia.

    It was the most biased refereeing I've seen in this tournament. (I've seen only the last 15 min of the game)
    FYRo Macedonia has proved that it's a top European team, I congratulate them once more. But you wardjdim either you don't know the rules of the game or you were blinded by who knows what.

    I was just about to post congrats to both teams. Let me do this first.

    Congrats to both teams for giving us a great bronze medal game!

    Now about you. Why don't you take your inferiority complex somewhere else you moron? I understand that you lost a game and you're upset but you have quite some nerve to make this kind of comments.

    3 fouls for D.Stojanovski in 20 seconds. Rampant favoritism there...

    Two fast faould on Predrag makes the trick. With our situation 2-3 poor calls will decide the match. We can not play with out center. You do not need an all over poor ref match, this littel thing decide the match.

    The one that cost them the game was mainly Antic, the way I see it (in various instances he deserved some serious slapping in the face).
    Ball had to be in McCalebb's hands in the last quarter. Ilievski is not material for a leader in such important game and against such strong opposition.

    Antić missed some open shots, yes I agree, but Macedonians lost rhythm in the last quarter, Antić just fell into general mood.

    Agreed. Not to mention Samardziski had 4 half way into 3rd quarter. Many, many contacts on offence and defense, some over Antic, some over Mccalebb, no fouls... Refs definetly favored Russia.

    Anyway, 2nd game in a row, there's a Greek reff to us, i'd hardly call that a coincidence, especially considering a member of the Greek BB Federation got fined for 15k euros and discredited for attempted bribery in the tournament.

    Reffs aside, great game, our rebounds sucked, Russians took like 1/3 of their points on 2nd chances. Congrats to Russia earned the bronze medal.

    Now let's see Spain win and i hope Parker stays on the 2nd spot at PPG

    What on earth are you talking about? Everyone has pretty much acknowledged that FYROM had a great team in this tournament.

    We didint have the right balls today. This is also one of the factors.

    In many clear situation Antic, Stojanovski and Ilievski didint take the shot. The only one with balls the first 25 min, Cekovski our worst player and of course miss every singel shot big time and keep on shoting fucking fat moron.

    Dididnt Dokuzovski tell him to stop shoting the ball from the arc what the hell is wrong with his head ?.

    Do not know if I should laugh or cry. He is not supposed to be in the team but cuz of Gecevski and Nikolovski injury he is.

    We had the score 55-52 and let Russia pick up 5 offensive rebs in the same attack. This is what happens with out Gecevski and Predrag.

    You can not play basketball with out center.

    Nooo Stojanovski whyyy? Damn i would have liked for FYRM to get a medal.

    Russia looks like an impressive powerhouse now gold in 07 and bronz in 11, but somehow i don't see them as a first tier team.

    Cekovski scored that one 3-pointer against Greece and ever since he's been shooting and shooting beyond the arc. He must have air balled like three shots.

    Very bad miss by Stojanovski, which is a shame, cause he's had a great tournament. I'm still content with 4th place, though.
    It was Damian Stojanovski who missed it.The bad twin.At least most people won't be able to tell him apart from his brother in the welcome home parade.
