Just when you think you’ve seen it all in water polo, Montenegro comes along and shakes things up. After 12 years, Spain has once again stopped the Montenegrin water polo team in the quarterfinals of a major tournament, leaving us wondering – what’s going on with a team that was once a huge favorite? Coach Dejan Savic didn’t hide his disappointment, and his statement that this match must not be forgotten sounds like a warning bell. The start was decent, but then everything fell apart – catastrophic mistakes, an impenetrable Spanish defense, and only five goals scored. Yes, five goals! And the fifth only came after two quarters. Is this the end of an era or just a bad day? Savic says matches like this must serve as an example of how a team can suffer. And we ask – how many more times will we see the same scenario? If you love water polo, or just love a good drama, drop a comment and tell us – is this the end of Montenegro’s dream or just the start of a new fight? What do you think?
Meanwhile, while water polo struggles, the first 3×3 Montenegro basketball tournament was held in Kolasin, with a whopping 51 teams from all over Montenegro. The basketball spectacle at the Lower Square showed that sport in Montenegro has a future, but the question remains whether water polo can return to its former glory. Maybe it’s time to shift focus? Or is this just another episode in a long series of disappointments? Either way, sport in Montenegro is not standing still, and we’ll be watching every move. What about you? Which sport do you follow and who do you root for? Drop a line below and let’s see who’s team water polo and who’s team basketball!
