Slovenia (due to the partnership agreement), Netherlands, Greece, Georgia, Macedonia. The easiest group. Croatia should have no problem getting into the top 4. Greece is the toughest.
(The partnership agreement is possible between two countries who do cooperation in marketing the sport, play friendlies and share information and knowledge. These countries are in this tournament always in the same group. Current agreements are France-Finland, Croatia-Slovenia, Estonia-Latvia and Germany-Turkey).

I thought Slovenia were quite good, doesn't Goran Dragič come from there?
We should get top 4 though. Interesting about the partnerships, I wonder how effective that is.

If I remember correctly, Slovenia is just a couple of places behind Croatia in the FIBA world rankings. Greece is one of the best countries in the world, but I don't see any reason why Croatia couldn't fight for the second place at the very minimum. The rest of the countries should be just walkovers.
Dunno about the details about the partnerships, but they seem to have some use.
For us, it's a different deal. France and Russia are clear favourites, but Bosnia, Poland and Israel should be possible, but it requires a real effort.

Were they Spanish speakers doing telemarketing calls? If so, I wouldn't have guessed that they do such thing in United States as an English speaker country.
Anyway, I know what you mean mate, as since few years ago most telemarketing calls in Spain are made by Latin American call centre agents who often are annoying us by the way they speak by using their hard accents. In fact, I've experienced so many times how they talk until they are blue in the face as well, lol.
Next time just say them "No me interesa, adios".
It's pretty good. Quite hoppy ...it's at the upper limit if how hoppy I like a beer to be.
