Once again, for the fourth straight year, I write again elated by the good game of English basketball.
The seventh time lucky, and finally, after losing 6 finals throughout history (1935, 1973, 1983, 1999, 2003 and 2007), Spain has won its first Eurobasket.
The latest results of the selection in Eastern Europe speak for themselves:
66-86 to France in the quarter-finals 82-64 to Greece in the semifinals, and 85 - 63 Serbia in the final.
The success of selection in the last 10 years, too:
- 5 th in the Eurobasket 1997,
- 5 º in the 1998 World
- Plata in the Eurobasket 1999,
- 9 th in 2000 Olympic Games
- Bronze Eurobasket 2001
- 5 th in the world , 2002
- Plata in the Eurobasket 2003,
- 7 th at the Olympic Games of 2004 (so unfair that post for the great game that did Spain)
- 4 th in the Eurobasket 2005.
