As a Lithuanian, I wanna congratulate Spain on the victory you guys deserved it. Spain really has an amazing spirit to always keep going even if behind. I wish we had the same type of spirit like you guys in the 4th quarters. Let's hope we learn from our mistakes and come back stronger next time.

Whoever underestimates Spain is basketball-ignorant. Spain even with the least talented team is still spain, a champions - mentality team who can't accept to lose. it's difficult to dominate on the game against them and they always have enormous confident at the times when you don't expect it and they do it smoothly. Spain is still the number one country to win once again the tournament. Congrats from 🇬🇷

I agree. Thank you for this comment. We can never ever underestimate Spain and even France. They can send their worst and they are still laser-focused on winning with what they have. Snooze and you lose. Happened to turkey and happened to us today. Disappointed today and I do not have hopes it will get better for us Lithuanians.

NO NO... In case of France vs Turkey native players impacted the result. In case of Lithuania vs Spain - american without any relations with Spain. We agree with great history of Spanish national basketball team before as well as U18 or U16 now, but we never agree with this win. Brown made 28 point after Q3. This game won the Spanish Club, but not the national team. Sorry. It be in memory all the time. And you wanna say that in Spain no good playmakers? Look to U18 atleast. Americans in national teams is the same thing like doping. This is not honest.

The Spanish blood in Sports is out of this world...We will never realise what we are doing....It is UNBELIEVABLE that a completely new team, with so many young players that came here just to learn, are able to beat Turkey or Lithuania and go to quaterfinals of the Euro...WOW...Spain is the current WORLD CHAMPION in 2019....There, we already played without Pau Gasol and only 3 players from then are here (Rudy, and the Hernangomez brothers) all the rest are new...Ricky Rubio, Sergio Rodriguez, Sergio Llull, Abalde, Abrines, Santi Aldama, Mirotic, Ibaka out andstill delivering...WOW and WOW

Its not that surprising to me, you guys raise really good players and this cant be a coincidence. Even though theyre young they grew up to be the players they are now from Spanish basketball schools. Lithuania played great too.

I simply cannot comprehend how this could happen.. Lithuania dominated and had the lead almost for the whole game.. with at least 5 points, more often by 7, 8, 11 points! Then this fantastic overtime buzzer beater! And in the very end they lost so dramatically... 😢 So sorry for the players..

Lietuva you are a very clear example of art and beauty, this eurobasket the team showed a lot of good moments and games and I really thought this game was for you, sincerely I am very surprised of the level that spain shown this game.

[@copy2886]

LT had refs issues... imagine i beat you in the face openly, and refs give you (not me) the technical for imitation, then they call travel for nothing, you will look angry at ref, he'll give you a technical, you will ask you why, and he'll give you second and throw you out.... Imagine how the whole team will play after that? Then the ref could be "objective" for 10 minutes but the opponent team will crash you. OK I am exaggerating for you to understand, It's a more easy way to fix the game, and If you have an experience you can see it very easily, see the game again and analyze the context of every call... So this game was fixed and Spain as a trash team, but they'll go to semifinals... because of tv money

You can only bring one nationalized player into any Fiba tournament. So it's not like it's a big deal if a team nationalizes just one player out of all the rest. Spain just had one American born nationalized Spaniard while all the other players are Spanish born nationals regardless of race or origin. We live in the XXIst century and modern and developed countries like Spain don't have only one ethnic group. We have many differen't ethnic groups living together in harmony and we are not insecure about it.
