Hope to see Lebanon & Africa All-Star, este Qatar NT also in the Jones Cup!Originally posted by zonglin View Post"A king may move a man, a father may claim a son, but that man can also move himself, and only then does that man truly begin his own game. Remember that howsoever you are played or by whom, your soul is in your keeping alone, even though those who presume to play you be kings or men of power, when you stand before God, you cannot say, 'But I was told by others to do thus,' or that virtue was not convenient at the time. This will not suffice." - King Baldwin IVComment

Philippines hopefully and optimistically will win the Jones Cup this year. As you all know it's been 14 long yrs devoid of of winning the Gold Medal.Comment

Lebanon will participate. We will be without some of our best players such as Fadi El Khatib, Ghaleb Reda and Charles Tabet. But other than those three players, we are complete with the addition of starlet Ahmad Ibrahim.Originally posted by JAMSKIE View PostProud to be Lebanese

I dont know the current strength of team Pilipinas because there is a new coach,system and pool of players.
But i do feel we will not win the championship or is even capable of winning the championship. I doubt our team will be competitive enough this early(add t that some players may miss this tournament due to injuries and rest time).
I believe experience is the supreme target of our team. And placing high in the standings or even winning the championship, if ever, would just be a bonus.
But for sure..... we will give a fight in every game.

Given the preparations we had over the past weeks, I doubt we're even capable of making third place. I don't want to sound negative but our chances are truncated due to (once again) ill-preparedness.Originally posted by all_about View PostGILAS WISHLIST:

Ali Mahmoud is injured and will rest to recover over the summer.Originally posted by interxavierxxx View Post
Rony Fahed retired from the NT as of last year because he wasn't called up to the squad by coach Sarkis and felt he was unappreciated. I don't know if he would come out of retirement if Lebanon had another coach for the NT as he's 31 and can still play at a high level.Comment

c.j giles is a gifted player no doubt.minus his drama outside the court.i hope he finally matured..
