Portugal 77:67 Latvia
Portugal: Joao Santos 14, Mario-Gil Fernandes 14.
Latvia: Kristaps Janicenoks 21, Andris Biedrins 14.
As rikhardur said before it was the first sensation of the day but not the last on in this group. It looked that Latvia couldn't ask for a better opponent in the last game. A win could have guaranteed them 2nd place in the group. But Portugal had other ideas. I didn't see the game but I can confidently say that Portugal did a great job. Now they are in the second round ready to make more upsets <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Croatia 85:84 Spain
Croatia Marko Popovic 18, Marko Tomas 13, Marko Banic.
Spain: Pau Gasol 26, Rudy Fernandez 14.
The result that I was waiting a lot. How come the "unbeatables" lost? And moreover against a team that lost to Latvia and misses a few players. It's good to see Popovic leading his team. I think Spain are still the favourites but the gap between them and other teams is not as huge as everyone predicted. I knew that they will lose sooner or later. They can count themselves lucky to lose now rather than in quarter-finals for example. Final group standings look very weird <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
