Basketball Championship.

I looked for tickets over 6 MONTHS AGO, most of they were sold out in Greece or already booked- for events people usually don't care, like Volleyball and Waterpolo (!)

Of course I didn't like having to save money for one year and then not getting a single ticket

[Datajack Franit]

BTW I wish Greece a bitter defeat

Gracie.

Rufiano, Rufiano Italiano j/k

[Sloth]

What are you tring to say?? You mean that as an insult?
Ruffiano (with two ff) is "pimp"...but is an obsolete word if used in its litteral meaning...it's used now as "bootlicker"...so is used more in the sense: "Don't try to flatter me!!!"

[Bereta_Eder]

nah just a little joke. It rhymes with italiano. In greek it just means ruffian and could be used as a means of demoralization of your players if things get tough. After this info though we may have to change it. Or your players won't understand.

If I were you, I would stay home during the Olympics and come to Greece only for the games I have tickets for. Stara Zagora isn't very far away from Thessaloniki, is it?

Stara Zagora is not that close to Thessaloniki, but it will probably be best to stay in some of the mountain resorts near the border with Greece and travel from there to the events.
BTW all the main event locations that I saw were in or near Athens. Do you know what events are going to be held in or near Thessaloniki?

didn't see the game, was in the army.

well, congrats, Spain.
