Congratulations Greece! Deserved title. Liths looked more disorganised and generally nervous. Good defense by the Greeks in a somewhat poor game.
I saw the first part of the game. Both teams looked nervous and couldn't it their shots. The crowd helped the hosts. Silver is still a good achievement for Lithuania. Motiejunas could be a great player if he doesn't make the same mistake as Andriuskevicius did.

I also hope he doesn't. It was the first time I had the chance to watch him properly and he's magnificent. Great shooter for someone of his size.
