I really don't know what is better for Greece. <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />



If the tournament take place in Lithuania(I don't see how Lithuania will be allowed to host a second FIBA tournament in 1 year) the possible disadvantage of Greece will be refs in a possible game between Lithuania and Greece(I wouldn't say that if I haven't seen the Eurobasket game between the two). On the other hand, this tournament taking place in Lithuania instead of Venezuela would be more relaxing for the players.



If the tournament take place in Venezouela it will be a problem for almost every team because they'll not only play all these games before the Olympics(ofcourse I'm talking about the teams that will finally qualify) but they'll have to make two long and tedious flights!



Ofcourse I won't really worry about all of this if we have our best players on the team!!! <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thup.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':thup:' /> <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
