7. Turkey

1- USA (i think they are simply unbeatable)
2- Spain
3- Turkey (my beautiful country is number 1 in my heart always and i hope for a championship but this is a rational post
)
4- Greece (great team, but i think we can win a rematch)
5- Argentina
6- Lithuania
7- Germany (dirk is cool but that's about it)
8- France (if parker was available they'd probably be higher in my eyes but i don't think they care anyway )
2- Spain
3- Turkey (my beautiful country is number 1 in my heart always and i hope for a championship but this is a rational post
)
4- Greece (great team, but i think we can win a rematch)
5- Argentina
6- Lithuania
7- Germany (dirk is cool but that's about it)

I dont think its really that close though. This years team for the USA should make it through easy. The only really star caliber players not on team USA are Manu and Dirk... all the others are either mediocre at best, or benchwarmers in the NBA. I think the guardplay this year is what will allow the USA to win it all.

I've lost all interest in the World Championships, mostly because our coverage is relegated to highlights, but since Australia are gone and I found the USA quite boring to watch I'm not that bothered.

Phh. You know nothing...
There's a chance we'll kick team USA's sorry ass for the 2-0 lead tomorrow... 
Seriously, I'd put Germany ahead of France. But it's a close one between Germany and Turkey for no.6.

Kobe's better at a one man game, and USA should stick to their successful team-first policy.

At least I was right about the 2-0 lead...
Thu Aug 31, 2006 10:31 pm
Oh man... We're still better than France, but a lot dumber! Did anyone see the game? 
Thu Aug 31, 2006 10:34 pm
Yeah..they just gave it away with all those turnovers at the beginning of the 3rd quarter 
Thu Aug 31, 2006 10:40 pm
Crazy end of the game. Germany had all the opportunities to win the game

Me, I guess
How could you put Argentina over Spain?

It would be even more funnier if i had put lithuania there instead

3 people put France at #8, one at #7... France just beat Turkey to finish fifth... Some people here may revise their basketball knowledges 
Sat Sep 02, 2006 8:22 pm
The only people who have to revise their basketball knowledge are the german national team. The win was definitely not France's effort, our team was just too stupid to finish them off. I'm still pissed. It was exactly the same like in 2002, when our team was too stupid to foul Turkoglu when they were 3 ahead with a couple of seconds to go. What happened? No foul, Hedo makes the three, overtime, loss.
