After a first day rich in emotions, the Euro continues and should continue to give us its share of very nice matches. On the program today, a superb Israel – Finland at 2 p.m. followed by the long-awaited Ukraine – Great Britain at 2:15 p.m. Deni Avdija against Lauri Markkanen, Alex Len against twelve pelos that we hardly know. No need to say, this day is a dream (no) and we almost forget the meeting between Croatia and Greece at 5 p.m., so not to make anyone jealous, we tell you everything about this duel of alpha males.
More seriously, here is a very nice match to make people forget the start of the day which frankly does not look crazy. Led by a Giannis Antetokounmpo at the top of his game, Greece is preparing to challenge Croatia and its NBAers, and it will be on Canal + Sport 360 at 5 p.m.. Two teams contenders for the final victory who compete for their entry into the tournament, we did not ask for more. Coming out of a similar preparation, our two teams start this Euro with only two defeats in their last six games. Our Greek friends even offered themselves a very nice victory against Spain at the beginning of September. In fact, let’s be clear, Greece still looks very much like one of the scarecrows of this competition. A scarecrow pulled by another scarecrow, you’ve probably never seen that. Because yes, the guy responsible for putting Hellas on his big shoulders, his name is Giannis Antetokounmpo. If you live in a cave – it would really be a bottomless pit for once – and this gentleman does not mean anything to you, just know that we are in fact talking about the most dominant basketball player on the planet. Driven by its double MVP, Greece also has a solid collective and several real basketball players. Jumbled up, we immediately think of Nick Calathes, Georgios Papagiannis, the Antetokounmbros or even Konstantinos Petipennis. Nah, for the last one we’re kidding because above all we’re funny guys.
Giannis was TOO hot during the warm-up games with Greece. ????

Well, you will understand, Greece is heavy but Croatia also has some great weapons at its disposal. Yep, the Croatians have several pretty serious NBAers on their roster, Bojan Bogdanovic in the lead. In addition to the Jazz sniper, the country of a thousand islands can boast of counting on Ivica Zubac, Dario Saric or even the legendary Mario Hezonja. What ” this guy is not a legend” ? He still dunked on Giannis and blocked LeBron, this gentleman! Come on, enough nonsense, the fact is that Croatia have what it takes to come and annoy just about any team, on paper anyway. Overall, this match already looks like a battle for first place in Group C, as the competition seems less strong. Besides, if you were looking for a reason that would push you to ask yourself in front of this match, know that one of these two teams could very well be the future opponent of the Blues in the quarter-finals, if quarter-finals there are. sure. So, convinced?
There is no doubt that this Croatia – Greece is one of the most beautiful posters of this start to the Euro, so we can’t wait to be there. Bojan Bogdanovic who conditioned Giannis and his 43 pawns at buzzer, it’s a big yes here. Randomly.
