Serbia Montenegro France The Euro Championship series moves into the 1/8 finals round France Roster Serbian Roster Comments on this game?
The team from France is 1-2 in the tournament... they'll be facing elimination. Tony Parker had a very bad game (1-10 shooting) the last game vs Slovania Still this team has several NBA players and prospects: Tony Parker (Spurs), Mikael Pietrus (Warriors), Boris Diaw (Suns), Gelabale (Sonics) Other known talent includes: Florent Pietrus & Antoine Rigaudeau (best French player ever) If Serbia Montenegro wins this game they will move to the qtr finals to face Spain (the team that beat them already). The Darko results can be posted here for this game, as the Euro championship thread is getting fairly long.

Looks like Serbia is having a hard time keeping up with the perimiter players of France (esp Parker) 39-33 Serbia with France at the line 1:08 left in the first half
Well no DMC in the first half... Krstic has 8pts and 3 boards Guess the coach is going with the vets... may only see Darko in a defensive role or hopefully a blowout 44-35 Serbia at halftime
Serbia has a real problem with giving up dribble penetration... France can get inside anytime they want... Jaric is an overated defender France is up 63-58 with 7 minutes left in the game.
72-71 France, looks like Kristic just fouled out. Zelly in, doesn't look like a Darko sighting today...
Zelly offensive foul, turnover Zelly, personal foul, 2 free throws to France. France up 73-71 with 2 free throws coming.
Diaw missed both free throws. Bodiroga just fouled out for SCG, 2 foul shots coming for France with 15 seconds to go. 73-71 France.
