Well Greece was capable of winning the game. It gets pretty ball-busting to any player's psychology when he gets hammered by the defense on one end, and then he gets called for flagrant fouls. The worst was giving those 3 free throws to Fernandez when he was fouled on the dribble on the 3 point line. Crediting a basket to Spain when Fotsis clearly and legally goal tended after the ball bounced once on the basket. It's like the refs didn't need to even bat an eyelid when it was to give a favourable call to Spain. But this kind of approach has been repeated by Spain, and our ass-kissers in Greek basketball federation wouldn't want to put in complaint about the abysmal refereeing because they all hope one day to get a promotion to a FIBA hot seat. This type of 'thinking' is very typical back home and is not even uncharacteristic of our politicians <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mellow.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

It does not give any excuse for other fans to claim the game was reffed fairly. In fact, I've never EVER seen Lithuania get reffed like that ever.
