FIBA world ranking

Postby frenchy on Mon Sep 10, 2007 10:02 pm

Here is below the latest FIBA world ranking for basketball countries.
What do you think of it ?
IMO it is completely stupid
From the 1st to the 10th place it is quite ok then after.....
I was looking for Poland and Portugal and I was not able to find them.
Do you really think that Congo and Hong Kong are playing better basketball ??? (no offense to people from these 2 countries)

Greece should be at four at least. At the moment they're struggling but they have a complete team without selfishness and with a lot of depth. Plus they are the current european champions and won silver at the world cup if I remember correctly.

Angola is a joke. But when you play against Swaziland and Djibouti, you gotta win some of your games.

So what?? Well, at fooball we sucks - it's true. But do you know what did Latvia's football national team coach says to us when you reached the Euro 2004? He says that Latvian's players are not better than Lithuania's. So football at our country is realy popular, but or football level is low :cry: But in Euro 2008 qualifyng we had a game with Italians in Italy. And you know what result was when we played against World champions in their own country? The result was 1:1 :) What about hockey? I don't like this sport so I can't tell something about Lithuania national hockey team.

But nr.1 sport in our country is basketball - every Lithuanian is crazy of basketball, during Eurobasket now there is a lot of cars in Vilnius with Lithuania flags on the roof. And we are showing good results in basketball (better than Latvia in hockey or in football), but Ilgauskas didn't ever play for our team :cry: When we will have Ilgauskas, I believe we'll be unstopable, and now without Ilgauskas and Macijauskas we have reach an Eurobasket semifinal.

Yeah, I know this is big tragedy... This really sad, but Ilgauskas every year has an explanation to not play for Lithuania :evil: This year he has a tragedy and I understand him, but many years before he still didn't play...
