Serbia to win it all eh? I like it, Bogdanovic would need to show exceptionally well to pull that off. I'm picking Greece. Here's the odds on the outright winner of the tournament(avg line from like 20+ sites).

Greece - 7.96:1
Lithuania - 11.89:1
Italy - 14.81:1

Finland 98.24:1
Poland 134.21:1
Israel 146.08:1
Latvia 162.75:1

Betting on Italy at that rate is delusional. Same for Turkey.

he was active on the offensive boards, but the dude is 6'7". Puzzling. Pleiss got in foul trouble, but I hope he gets more burn later in the tournament.
 
Game was weird. Refs were borderline retarded(Or boxing referees). Germany 25 fouls with a defensive strategy that aimed to minimize shooting %s, Iceland 23 fouls, bringing some Viking rubgy strats. Always going for the body, in one case it resulted in a foot injury when a player landed(No Reggie Miller-ing). No call obvi. Idk, in the last quarter, they committed 1 total foul in 8 min which allowed them back into the game as Germany lost focus and confidence when the Serbian refs(why the **** would Serbians ref a German game the day before they face off against Serbia) decided it was time for Iceland to catch up.
Iceland had some good players who made fine plays, but with solid refs, they wouldn't have had 5 remaining players midway through the last quarter.

Pleiß couldn't get any momentum. Iceland played without a Center, and whenever he established good inside position, 1 or 2 help defender jumped and bumped into him from the wings. The no calls forced him to re gather and they could close out when he passed out of it or it resulted in turnovers.
