Rankings before matches
The game not to miss
So seen like that… it may not make you dream, but thehe match between Israel and the Czech Republic will count downright triple. Why ? Because in Group D Serbia, Finland and Poland have already qualified for the round of 16, the order remains to be seen, and because the match between Deni Advija’s squad and Jan Vesely’s squad will therefore determine who will accompany the three aforementioned teams in the final bracket. The new generation led by Wizards sophomore and point guard Yam Madar kicked off their Euro with a bang with a big win against Finland and a useful win against the Netherlands but have since eased off losing to Poland and Turkey. Serbia, the Czechs had the good idea to beat the Oranje, and it is therefore today that everything is played since the winner of the match will send his winner in eighth and his loser at home. A real home play-in match for the Czechs, we validate!
The main issues:
We just talked about the main issue of this day, but for the rest a lot of things will settle today. The first place in Group D to start, with a Serbia – Poland which will be expensive for the rest of the events. The Finns will have to avoid playing dumb against the weak Holland, and in this Group absolutely anything can happen in a few hours. For Group C? A little less suspense because we already know the four qualified nations (Greece, Croatia, Italy and Ukraine), and if we start from the principle that Greeks and Italians should not experience too many problems against Estonia and Great Britain, it is the result of the very big matches between the Ukrainians and the Croats which will serve as referee in this group. If Ukraine wins, the standings will look like this: Greece, Ukraine, Italy, Croatia, and if Croatia wins, it’s a little more complicated and you’ll have to pull out the calculators to find out who will take the place of the con and Serbia in eighths…
This is what awaits you today for this last day of the group stage, before a well-deserved rest tomorrow, for the players as well as for the marathon runners covering the event. See you tonight with a hot and beautiful bracket!
