A fairly easy win for Serbia against Israel, the host of two friendly matches, as part of the Eurobasket preparation interval. The team lead by coach Aleksandar Đorđević and captain Miloš Teodosić has won by 85-70, in a match with a strong offense and series of easy shots for the guests.

Un día bastante lieve de noticias nos deja reflejar sobre un equipo antiguo y valorado, que no agita demasiadas portadas por su falta de fichajes de escándalo. Un equipo que hace sólo un par de días se ha ganado la Supercopa de España, de forma verdaderamente espectacular. Su primera en 31 años. Las celebraciones, dignas de una selección que se acaba de ganar un Mundial. Sólo faltaba la deseada gabarra.

Germany’s strong center, Maik Zirbes is forced to miss the upcoming European Basketball Championship, due to an ankle injury that occurred during a friendly match against Letonia. The interval needed in order for the injury to heal properly is about six weeks long. Nevertheless, Zirbes will be thoroughly examined in the days that follow, and the severity of the injury, as well as the length of the recovery, will be known next week.

His manager, M. Ražnatović has confirmed that the player won’t be able to take part in the National Team’s efforts on the Eurobasket. It is also believed that the Zirbes will be ready by the time the new league season starts. He continues to play for the Belgrade’s red and whites, BC Crvena zvezda.

La lista ya queda hecha y España tiene a sus 12 jugadores para el Campeonato Europeo de baloncesto. Sergio Scariolo hoy ha declarado quien representará a España, como parte de la Selección nacional.

The final 12 player roster for the upcoming Eurobasket was announced today. Spanish coach, Sergio Scariolo has chosen his team, that is formed by well known stars, as well as some new faces, meant to represent the future of the Spanish National Team.  The 12 chosen ones will play two matches against Macedonia and one, against the Czech Republic, as part of their final preparations for the European Basketball Championship.

Something to enjoy, even on a rainy day. Bubble football was invented in Norway, popularised in the UK, and now lives in a spirit of popularity all around the world. Expect to fall a lot. And to get more fun out of falling, than actually playing.

It's all about the bubble.
It’s all about the bubble.

A victory for Viktoria. After the first leg match of the final qualifying stage for the Europa League, Vojvodina loses to Viktoria Plzen, with a 3-0 score (Kopic 25′, 82′, and Vanek 47′). The players of Zlatomir Zagorčić weren’t able to neutralize the efforts offered by the Czech rival.

Viktoria’s defence was too strong, even for the talented Ožegović, Stanisavljević and Pankov. A match that was more difficult, than the Serbian team had imagined.  The Czech’s force in the defensive, mixed with the insecurity of the Serbian guests was a recipe for a fairly easy victory for the host.

It is difficult to believe that the same squad, that was able to win over teams such as Sampdoria, was able to fall so easily, at such an important stage. But all  is not lost, even though most hopes do seem to have gone down.

The rematch is being played a week from now, at the Karađorđe stadium, in Novi Sad. It will be the last step for Vojvodina to cross, in a historical run at the Europa League. They have raised the bar this season, and accomplished a great deal in promoting Serbian club football. This generation has been creating history, during the past months, and it is obvious that they can do much more. The only question is, whether or not the young team is satisfied by participating alone. Or are they able to get to the finish line first?

Selektor reprezentacije Srbije, Aleksandar Đorđević, poranio je sa otkrivanjem još dva imena igrača koji neće ići na predstojeći Eurobasket.  Reč je o Luki Mitroviću i Marku Kešelju.

There are two names less for Serbia’s National Team shortlist, at the upcoming Eurobasket. Luka Mitrović and Marko Kešelj are no longer part of the team.

The first leg of the last qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League was played during the past two days. A very strong Celtic has managed to score 3 goals, against Malmö, resulting in a 3-2 score, for the Scots. There was very little doubt in the winner of tonight’s match between Valencia and AC Monaco, considering the 3-1 result, and a very little chance for the opponent to do bigger damage in the second leg match. Zagreb’s Dinamo beats Skenderbeu, as guests by 2-1.

Na “Marakanu” stiže još jedan napadač, Predrag Sikimić.

Doskorašnji igrač Voždovca, u Crvenu zvezdu stiže nakon brojnih promenjenih klubova, među kojima su i: Lirs, Rad, Vojvodina, Ural i Smederevo, odakle je rodom.

Rođen je 29. avgusta, 1982. godine, igrao je za ukupno 12 timova, te mladu reprezentaciju SCG. Dominantna pozicija mu je centarforska, a Transfermarkt ga procenjuje na oko 250 hiljada evra.

Sa sadašnjim trenerom Zvezde je već sarađivao u ekipi Amkara i predstavlja više nego neophodnu taktičku dopunu u napadu. Pretpostavlja se, najviše Luisu Ibanjesu. Ugovor bi trebalo da bude potpisan narednih dana. Takođe treba navesti i da se u taboru crveno-belih očekuje još najmanje jedno pojačanje tokom ovog prelaznog roka.

Nakon 93 odigrana minuta u beloruskom Borisovu, rezultat je 1-0 u korist domaćina. Revanš u sredu.

After 93 minutes played in Belarus, BATE wins by 1-0 in the final stage before the beginning of the Champions League.
