Greece vs. Spain World Basketball Championship final

It's the half-time, and Greece is 20 points behind.

Yes, I'm watching.

Why can't I watch a game without jinxing it for my team?

Now I turned the TV off. Watch as Greece starts scoring like there's no tomorrow. *prays that the jinxing she gave to her team wasn't so heavy as to last for the next 20 minutes of the game*

Damn, and I really want to watch this game. Maybe if I go watch with my brothers on their own TV?

*grumbles*

And yeah, I don't really believe in that stuff, but when it happens so many times you kinda start thinking that you'd better stay away, just in case.

Off to watch with my brothers. And if Greece doesn't get ahead in score by the end of the third period, I'm confining myself away from all televisions.

See ya,
Anna.

Greece vs. Spain World Basketball Championship final, part the second

We lost. :(

It was a bad game for us. And me not watching didn't help, either

Anyways. We're second anyway. Second in the world; I daresay that's not too bad, right? ;) And I'm very happy to see that there are people celebrating down in the center of Athens (and Salonica, and other places). Just as if we had won. It's nice that there are no hard feelings from the public against the players - because it often happens in Greece that when someone fails at something, the public immediately forgets all the success they've had in the past and starts blaming them. An idol can become a loser in the blink of an eye. It's good to grow out of this mentality.

We can't be happy for losing in the final, but we managed a lot in this championship. We're keeping the 8 consecutive victories, the greatly important victory in the semifinal against the team of the United States and the silver medal, and we're hoping for more to come.

Oh, and congratulations to Spain :)

See ya,
Anna :)
