The only team that has a reason to claim that organisation was against em was Lithuania. Busses broking down, tanks comming over to chill durring practice, no dvd's to analyse games, no water only for our team before the game.

I feel bad for Greece as they deserve to be in olympics, but the reason you guys lost is because Nigeria played with more heart than any other team in this tournament.
And what about Macedonia, you guys just dont deserve to be in olympics. We had the same foul troubles against Puerto Rico, this is sports. More calls on one side doesnt always mean that the refs are biased. You guys had an easy way to the semis, easier then Lith/Russia or Greece. There is noone else to blame but urselfs. Now you can go back to telling stories how ur team is on the same level as Russia/Lithuania/Greece and etc.

Point is: It is difference when an experienced player say something rather than me and Olympiacos. And truste me Vlado Ilievski normaly is a very silent and a huge gentleman he is well known for this (shy in general).

I mean when someone like him open the heart than something most be wrong.

I would like to see someone from Greek delegation to do the same.

Yes we lost I will gett over it but someone from Greece most also stand up. This is sport and should not be like this.

I agree with every one of your points. I feel sorry for the Greeks losing a close one on the wrong day but these things happen. Macedonia though was not nearly good enough this year.

yall crying too much.

teams took an average of 27 free throws/game vs Puerto Rico and no one is creating a thread about it

you guys are too accustomed to being favored, and ur silly act is getting stupidly annoying and childish.

[Olympiacos]

It's extremely sad that so many people here defend the games being decided by refs and not players. It's quite sickening.

Never been decided by players
