OT : Eurobasket 2025 semifinals | Türkiye vs Greece | & | Finland vs Germany |

[Mirotic12]

I really enjoyed Olympics officiating for the most part, but Eurobasket has been over-officious to say the least. I haven't watched enough of it to say there is a pattern of rigging or anything, but I can see why fans of every team would be upset. Lots of draconian penalties coming at inopportune times. Refs don't have a good feel for what makes an enjoyable product. It feels like they borrowed refs from another sport and they don't even particularly like basketball.

It's just because FIBA banned EuroLeague refs.

Game day, Finland about to really shock the European basketball community. Let's go!

The Turkey Greece game was scheduled for 8pm and I have to workkkkkk. Its our most important game in 15 years and I can't seeeee it.
It makes sense that its 8pm cause its the top match and it should be on prime time but my egoistic hope was 4pm since both countries have the later timezone compared to Germany and Germany and Finland both had 24h less rest so I thought they'd get the later game for additional rest time.

Tough luck for you but it is the main event and we had enough of the early games I think try to watch games during work. Let it be the totem for the night.

Hey buddy I just noticed this thread has gone over 100 pages. If you have some time could you make a new one? No huge rush but it should be done before too long. Thx.

It feels like Germany needs to draw blood to get called for a foul.
