France does not underestimate Greece, not at all. They want their revenge from 2005 and trust me they will play at 100%.
by the way you have a short memory, do you remember the eurobasket 2009? Greece tanked its game against France in fear of meeting Spain in the quarterfinals whereas France played fair and square. as a result they lost against spain and finished 5th while they had the skills to earn a medal.
Furthermore, i don't think you have anything to say about the attitude of a team in this tournament. After all Greece staff tried to buy the referees.

Greece has definitely done its fair share of sandbagging games on purpose to avoid specific opponents. It wasn't wrong what France did, but they could have lost to Spain with a smaller margin instead of +30 difference...
Btw. welcome to the board ccc, enjoy your stay with us!
