Almost done the second major upset!

Yes indeed If the coach didn't do the GDP... who know what would have happened.

But congratulations to Serbia, and good luck against the Czechs!

And there was another major upset by Slovensko who beat the #2 seed Poland (40876). Another CT vs TIE win. Who will win the tournament now? Left are the following teams ranked by seed, and their world rank in parentheses:

3. Bosnia (25)
4. Greece (24)
8. Czech Republic (12)
10. Croatia (23)
11. Belgium (20)
15. Slovenia (29)
16. Serbia (19)
21. Israel (39)

Bosnian golden boys on fire!

Yes indeed :) If the coach didn't do the GDP

I thought you had a great coach and staff? In hindsight, if you scouted properly you'd still be in the competition.

It only shows you that your team is not so inferior to bigger nations and that without wasting Entusiasm in the group phase (multiple times in blowout losses) and Normalling Italy (instead of crunching) with some luck you'd still be in the competition. After all if Ukraine did it, there is no reason why Holland couldn't. Of course if you get scared and go for the single win, instead of positioning yourself for the overall competition then you put yourself in a position to never succeed.

LOL what juice are you drinking? A NOR against Italy and it's a loss 100%. You're coming off saltier than a ton of french fries.

A Normal against Italy+GDP+correct tactic+luck was the only way they have a shot at winning this tournament. That plus not normalling 2 games where they lost by a combined 50 points earlier on. It's very obvious their coach decided that they shouldn't try to win the tournament, but getting 1 scalp while achieving a mediocre result and improving the ranking by a couple of spots was enough. If you specifically think that aiming for mediocrity is a good choice then we have a very different view on things.

Now tell me: if they won against Italy on a Normal vs TIE, would they have a higher chance to win the Serbia game? Managers, and especially U21 managers where there is a level playing field, who don't even try are just bad. If you lose because of GS or poor training that's life, you know you did your best, if you lose due to wasting Enth left and right is just a poor coaching effort.

Also, if you make the case that a CT v TIE give you a fighting chance it's beyond dumb and incoherent to then claim that NOR v TIE gives you 0% chance like you did. It will give you a lower chance but not 0%. And, as I already pointed out before, CT v TIE will give you a MUCH lower chance to win the follow up games (although still not 0% even in that case).

Hey Lemon dude, listen to this guy! He understands basketball

He might understand basketball , hence why i am not surprised he doesn't understand buzzerbeater.

Nah people who understand basketball would understand the stats and how the game against Italy makes no sense from a basketball point of view.

Considering Cletus said both these things, I think he does not understand much of anything on the subject discussed here apart from infinity:

I'd love to see them actually run this game 99 more times for posterity's sake...I'd guess [the results would be] around 96-4 or 97-3.

A NOR against Italy and it's a loss 100%.

According to him if you use CT instead of NOR, your chances increase infinitely: 4%/0%=∞.

All fake news Lemon, fake news!

You just can't stand that I gave the simple facts as to why Holland won, in two sentences, while you couldn't in 2742 posts.

You just can't stand

Why would anyone care about Holland? A nation who managed to lose all 3 world cup finals in its most popular sport. I mean Italians lost 3 too, but they have 4 wins. As the Italians would say: "zero tituli".

You just don't like winning and don't understand basketball, we get it. There is nothing to worry about. Perhaps you should stick to korfball though. Oh yeah I see the problem: since nobody else on the planet play that sport, I guess you may accidentally win at it!?
XD

The delusion is big with this one L:)
