Ma postoji, kako da ne, zove se spremuta d´arancia, prporučujem ti je ujutro.
Bit češ najbolje volje, neče te ni Barić, ni ja ni Vilenjak izbaciti iz ravnoteže!

Možda če se i mišljenje o vrijednosti hrvatske reprezentacije vratiti u normalne okvire.

evo kako je KG veliki sportas......ovo nije moje misljenje, ovo se stvarno dogodilo....joke, procitaj:


"In the final moments of play in the third quarter, Wally Szczerbiak and Kevin Garnett set ***s on Anthony Peeler in rapid succession. The first caught him in the mouth. The second, moving at worst, blindsided him. He retaliated by elbowing the league''s MVP in the solar plexus, sending him sprawling to the floor in pain.

The refs can''t always see what precipitates a hostility but normally are cagey enough to catch the payback. This time they were the only ones in ARCO Arena to miss the fender bender between two suburbans and a hearse. Nary a whistle was heard. I''d say, "You can''t call what you don''t see" except refs make a living out of doing just that.

On the Kings'' very next trip up court Garnett greeted his ex-teammate and, I assume, former friend, with a forearm shiver in the chest. Anthony instantaneously struck back, nailing K.G. in the jaw with a vicious forearm. At which point Anthony began shuffling like Ali. Or, in this case, dancing with Wolves.

Somehow Garnett kept his composure and his distance; he didn''t flinch or even fake a move toward his opponent. "

A

1. POR
2. ŠPA
3. GRČ
4. RUS

POR i ŠPA 100% prolaze! POR kao domaćin mora konačno napraviti neki rezultat, isto kao i ŠPA imat će veliku podršku. Realno, GRČ i RUS nemaju nikakve šanse.

B

1. FRA
2. HRV
3. ENG
4. ŠVI

Normalno FRA bez premca. Nama dajem šansu, jer ENG mi ne ulijeva povjerenje. Dobri jesu, ali ne baš tako dobri - da ih ne možemo proći. Nismo tako loši kako nas mnogi žele prikazat.

C

1. ITA
2. ŠVE
3. BUG

ITA spada među favorite i to će potvrditi. Za 2. mjesto bit će velika borba, al ovo mi izgleda najrealnije.

2. ČEŠ
3. NJE
4. LAT

Došlo je vrijeme da NIZ nešto osvoji; stvarno imaju dobru ekipu. ČEŠ će pomutiti račune NJE. Bilo bi vrijeme da Nijemci stanu sa provlačenjima na prvenstvima. Ne zaslužuju proć.

Grci nekako uvijek dobro prodju u kvalifikacija, a onda stanu. Rusi bi mogli iznenaditi umorne Spanjolce, Protugal igra pred domacom publikom

1.Portugal
2.Rusija

Grupa B

Francuzi su kalsa za sebem, sigurno ne zele ponoviti katastrofu sa proslog SP-a.
Zidane je odigrao mucnu sezonu u Realu, bez njegovog duha svi ostali su obicni nogometasi. Englezi su dobri, ali Becks ima druge probleme, pitanje je da li mu je glava bistra. Mislim da nije dovoljno...
Svicarci mogu iznenaditi, ali ne nas.

1.Francuska
2.Hrvatska

Grupa C

Zasto podcjeniti Bugare? Mislim da ce Skandinavci to skupo platiti.
Talijani ce biti prvi.

1.Italija

Grupa D

Njemci imaju tu cud da kada igra pocme nekako mukotrpnim radom dodju do svoga.
Ne blistaju, nisu kreativni, ali ipak su uspjesni. Ipak, mislim da su Cesi i Nizozemci bolji.

Prvak Italija

Prvenstvo nam se blizi, pa bi mogli poceti i prognoze pravit za cijelo prvenstvo...

Grupa A

U ovoj grupi su veliki favoriti Spanjolska i Portugal, ali kako znamo ta dva tima bas ne igraju dobro na prvenstvima.. Tu su i Grcka i Rusija... Mislim da Rusija nece nista napravit, a Grcka bi mogla mozda iznenadit( vec su pobjedili Spanjolsku u kvalifikacijama i to u Spanjolskoj). Raspored za ovu grupu

1.Portugal
2.Grcka
3.Spanjolska
4.Rusija

Grupa B

Ovdje je daleko najbolji tim Francuska i mislim da ce ovdje bez vecih problema biti prvi.... Za drugo mjesto borit ce se ostali... Od ostalih nitko nije nesto posebno, ali ipak mislim da nasi nece proci( i molim vas nemojte sad svi poceti pricati te da imamo los tim, da je baric seljak, samo dajte prognozu grupe).
Dakle, mislim ovako

1.Francuska
2.Engleska
3.Hrvatska
4.Svicarska

Grupa C

Ovdje su Talijani najaci, ali imam osjecac da ce Danska i Svedska dobro proci protiv njih... Ipak, na kraju mislim da ce Talijani biti prvi... Bugari nece nista napravit.. A bit ce gusta borba za drugo mjesto..

1.Italija
2.Svedska
3.Danska
4.Bugarska

Grupa D

Ova grupa, iako zvuci opasna, bas i nije toliko... Njemacka je dosta losa tako da ne vjerujem da ce konkurirat Ceskoj i Nizozemskoj.. od Lattvije je tesko nesto ocekivat dok ce utakmica izmedu Ceske i Nizozemske biti dobra..

1.Ceska
2.Nizozemska
3.Njemacka
4.Latvija


Cetvrtfinala

1.Portugal-Engleska Portugal dobiva
2.Francuska-Grcka Francuska dobiva

Pozdrav

Omerhodzic is close, but not exactly there. He isn''t the ball-handler Dirk is by any stretch of the imagination. While he certainly can dribble efficiently, he''s not cut out of the same point-forward mold. He''s not as versatile, either. At this point, he''d be a small forward in the NBA. As he continues to bulk up, he could spend some time at the four. He also possesses small hands, which could come back to haunt him with some NBA teams. Despite being 6-foot-11, he can''t comfortably palm the ball.

One negative he has in common with Nowitzki? The few scouting reports that exist on him from Europe claim Omerhodzic is a terrible defender. That was impossible to judge from the workout I attended. His length, athleticism and lateral quickness suggest he''s capable of being a good defender. He told me his job in practice each day was to guard former Ohio State star Scoonie Penn. Penn is much quicker than your average NBA three, so if Omerhodzic can pull that off, he should be fine.

Some scouts also have expressed concern about a negative reputation Omerhodzic ***ed up in Croatia. Depending on who you talk to, he''s everything from a party guy to a player who''s had difficulty getting along with his coach.
Again, an afternoon spent with the kid isn''t enough to make those type of assessments. However, when you hear him tell his story, it''s easy to see why he might still be a little rough around the edges.

Omerhodzic''s family fled Croatia just after the war started, and he spent most of his formative years living in Sweden along with other refugees. In Sweden, at the age of eight, he befriended one of Sweden''s best young hockey players, the Suns'' Maciej Lampe.
Both were poor and spent most of their time playing and watching sports. When Omerhodzic saw a flier advertising a basketball clinic, he convinced Lampe to put down the hockey puck and *** up a ball.
"I told him, ''You''re too tall to play hockey, but you''d be a great basketball player,'' " Omerhodzic told Insider. "We both went to the camp, fell in love with the game and started playing for a young club in Sweden."

The basketball scene in Sweden left a lot to be desired, so both players began looking for other opportunities. Lampe, who was a year older, was discovered by a Spanish scout and left Sweden to play on Real Madrid''s cadet team. Omerhodzic didn''t receive a similar offer, so he began looking for something on his own. He started looking up basketball teams on the Internet, and when he ran across Cibona''s cadet program, he made a risky decision.
A 14-year-old Omerhodzic traveled to Croatia by himself. He knew no one and spoke just a little Croatian. However, he was determined to be a basketball player. After much persuasion and a few workouts, Cibona signed him, and he quickly began making a name for himself in cadet tournaments.

This year, after a second frustrating year sitting on the bench with Cibona''s first team, he decided to leave. With the help of Cornstein, he negotiated a buyout and flew to the United States to pursue his dream of becoming an NBA player.
Cornstein knew Omerhodzic needed to hit the weights and thought he''d be a perfect fit with Lichter. The two begin working out a 7:30 each morning, and his sessions often don''t end until 7:30 each evening.

The Croatian Sensation

Damir Omerhodzic has been hitting the weights in Cleveland.
Omerhodzic showed up in Cleveland a month ago standing 6-foot-11, but weighing just 222 pounds. One NBA executive who had seen him play in a junior tournament a year ago called him "Ethiopian skinny."

The scouting report on him was equally thin. He had spent the last four years playing in Zagreb for Cibona, a Euroleague team that produced Nets'' first-round *** Zoran Planinic last year. For the past two years, Omerhodzic has been sitting at the end of the bench getting very little playing time.

The few scouts who had seen him play caught him in junior tournaments. Finding tape on him has been almost impossible. He was described as a sharp-shooting, young Dirk Nowitzki-type, but there was scant evidence to back it up. When his agent, Marc Cornstein, declared him for the draft, most scouts were stunned. How can a skinny kid with little playing experience be ready for the NBA?

For starters, he has erased the "Ethiopian skinny" description. In the space of just under four weeks, Omerhodzic has bulked up to 240. He now owns bulging biceps, ripped abs and thick legs.

"I''d say he''s about 150 percent stronger than he was when he came in here," Lichter told Insider. "The kid had never lifted a weight in his life. In just four weeks, he''s shown huge improvement, especially in his arms, chest and shoulders. He could easily get up to 250 pounds with a few more weeks of work. But weight can be overrated. The key to this kid is that he''s very strong."

Next, drop the "unathletic" tag line that gets pinned on almost every prospect from Europe. Omerhodzic is a great athlete for a 6-foot-11 kid. He already possesses a 35½-inch vertical (LeBron has a 38-inch, for comparison) and loves to play above the rim. The key to Omerhodzic is that he''s explosive. He gets off the floor very quickly and can do it again, and again, and again when he needs to. He also has good lateral quickness and is pretty fast getting up and down the court. He''s no stiff.

Again, the training over the past few weeks has helped his cause.
"The training they do in Europe is all about conditioning," Lichter said. "It drains the explosiveness out of players. He was already a good athlete when he came here, but his vertical jump has already increased three inches."

What about the basketball part?

Omerhodzic is a smooth player who owns a killer jumper with deep, NBA 3-point range. During several shooting drills, Omerhodzic easily knocked down 10 consecutive NBA 3s at a time. His skills down in the block are emerging, as well. He has great footwork and knows how to back his man down in the paint. He''s got a nice hook shot that he can hit with either his left or his right. His leaping ability makes him a natural rebounder, and he showed in the workout during several drills that he isn''t afraid of contact.
Omerhodzic is an explosive athlete who loves to play above the rim.
NBA teams have been searching for a Dirk Nowitzki clone ever since Dirk started busting out in Dallas. Omerhodzic comes as close as any young player I''ve seen from Europe. Darko Milicic, Nene, Jiri Welsch, Alexsandar Pavlovic, Maciej Lampe, Andris Biedrins, Pavel Podkolzine, Tiago Splitter and Kosta Perovic are all interesting and talented NBA prospects, but none of their games were really that similar to Nowitzki''s.
