Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory

I just learned this phrase, and it's EXACTLY what Slovenian basketball team did in 1/4 finals of European Basketball Champs 2007. And then again. Or, as my friend would say, they did "like a cow, that just gave 30 liters of milk and then kicked a milk bucket".

I have to stop following sports, or I'll kick a bucket before I'm 40.

Another thing I learned tonight: It seems like kicking a bucket is not the same a kicking a bucket after milking.

Such a shame, still they can leave a good impression if they beat France in a couple hours time.

Irony is in 1 point ...after a win over France for 1 point, now they lost for 1 point. But still, for our country is such achievement, beyond our expectation...go slovenia.... :)

@CypherBit, @Bojan: And they did just that. I respect their effort and applaud them. But we were soooo close to so much more.

@Iztok: Hi, Iztok. How's Istanbul? Had a beer in Asia yet? ;)

Indeed a win against Greece would be for the history books, still they once again showed us they are a great team.
