EuroBasket 2022

Yup. The tournament that was meant to "happen" in 2019. (COVID-19 was quite bossy and interfering then.)

I'll support Turkey, as a Turk. We have many great players, but we have to be better in terms of team spirit. I don't think we are one of the favourites to win the tournament, but surprises do/can happen.

I would presume that Finland cannot "go" that far. 

We, Turkey, were quite bad in the first match, but we luckily won. Howbeit, we are a chaotic country in many aspects. So I'm not that hopeless for our future in the tournament.

Greece are playing excellently against Croatia as of now. I would guess that they are one of the favourites since Croatia is quite a strong team.

What makes footballl more interesting, intriguing, and fun is the fact that it is far from being a "guarantee" to play better than your opponent that day, and, as a result, win the match; as we both know, in football, it can easily be quite the opposite. Being a better scorer that day can compensate for your "bad" playing. 

However,

2 equally powerful teams in basketball... Oh boy, it can be excellent fun to watch 'em!

As you know and can guess,

If a basketball team is weak and another is powerful at that match... Well, it is very likely that the game is going to be boring as hell!...

Thus,

In football (soccer), I normally try to watch every game during the tournament, but I pick matches in basketball.


Now about Italy in basketball... I have almost no clue about "your" current players but Italy is decent in basketball at worst, and sometimes they are among the favourites to win the championship title.

Germany, Christian... You betray your roots! You beat France yesterday! France is also a potent team. Perhaps you should turn back to Ze Germans. 

None

Christian (Lewian); today Serbia and Italy are gonna play; and Bologna vs. Fiorentina. Such a huge coincidence. Our friendly rivalry is on another level on this day!
