Dgenx,Vogel only is naturalized in Lebanon and i don't think Vogel only mades WCC 2002 and 2006.
Btw,Pennisi is not from australia ??? Asi is a Filipino ??

[dgenx2]

ALL LEBANESE PLAYERS PLAYED IN LEBANON this is why we have the best ligue in asia

well thats according to you but majority of us beg to disagree.

we'll never know until we meet each other in the quarters or semis. but one thing for sure, you'll not going to say that if rp is in the same group with japan and lebanon. you'll be crying now and praying that lebanon can atleast beat japan to secure 2 wins in round 1 because there's no way you're going to beat us with another hail-mary-ala-chamba-anak-ng-puta-bumaldog-sa-board-lucky three point shot again with our best player in danny siegle playing.

how lucky can you get?!?!?!

 

[dgenx2]

stop lebanon is better than rp ...

france is better than lebanon but lebanon won france in the world cup so the most important is the asian championship

duh! boris diaw and tony parker didnt even played. i doubt you can win if they are in the france NT.

 

[dgenx2]

what i know is that RP has americans , they are legit but most of them were raised outside....in our current roster we have only 1 lebanese/american who lived abroad(beshara) and 1 naturalized player(vogel).......all the rest are 100% lebanese....what i know is that i,de rather have a naturalized player than a bunch of americans and australian and tongan who have philipino blood playing...so stop this talk about vogel....and show us some real philipino talent a player who was born and raised in philippines...you will never have a player like that close to the level of khatib,fahd,roy,abdelnour,ali mahmoud..........if u get 100% filipinos u would be the same exact level as hong kong and thailand....short players who run around and shoot threes and cant get 1 rebound....ur only 2 players who are above 2 meters are australian and tongan with just a LITTLE philipino blood...so stop bragging about lebanon cuz they have 10 pure lebanese players on the roster , just 1 with roots and 1 naturalized player which is also legal.....CASE CLOSED !!!!

so you are an attorney now dumb fool? naturalized player are worse than fil-am players when by sole reason you naturalized just to beef up your basketball NT. it is better if they were naturalized because they love to become citizens of lebanon.

Boris Diaw played this game against Leb in the WCC 2006,only Tony parker didn't play.

And for more infos:
Basketbal: Lebanon upsets France at world championships

Joseph Vogel's free throw with 23 seconds left Wednesday lifted Lebanon to a stunning 74-73 win over France at the basketball world championship.
Vogel, who was born in the United States but has Lebanese citizenship, made a hook shot with 23.8 seconds remaining to give Lebanon a 73-72 lead.

Boris Diaw of the Phoenix Suns made it 74-73 with a free throw, but missed his second attempt. Laurent Foirest grapped the rebound off Diaw's missed free throw and shot a 6-meter jumper from the baseline, which bounced off the rim.

France (2-2) tied the game 68-68 with 1:45 left on a baseline jumper by Diaw. Rony Fahed hit a 3-pointer to give Lebanon a 71-68 lead.

Fadi El Khatib led Lebanon (2-2) with 29 points.

"I can't explain what happened today,'' said El Khatib. "We wanted to play good basketball after two losses and show that Lebanon has talent. We are happy for our country.''
El Khatib scored 14 first-half points and Lebanon took a 43-30 lead at the break.

Diaw, who played 29 minutes, led France with 14 points. Florent Pietrus had 14.

France went on an 11-point run to open the third quarter and was down 53-49 heading into the final period.

"We played bad in the first half,'' said France's Joseph Gomis. "We came back in the second half, but it wasn't enough and this is very embarrassing.''

Lebanon lost all five games and finished last at the 2002 worlds in Indianapolis. It beat Venezuela in its first game and could advance to the second round here with a win over Nigeria on Thursday.

Lebanon was forced to play Wednesday's game without American coach Paul Coughter, who was ill with the flu and stayed at the team hotel.

"This is a historic win for us,'' said assistant coach Khalaf Koussay, who took over for Coughter. "I think France took it easy because they saw our last two games.''

France will face Venezuela on Thursday.

And France have 6 players in the NBA without Tony parker:Gelebale,Turiaf,the 2 brothers (Pietrus), Johan Petro,Boris Diaw.And don't forget Foirest (X NBA).

In the same WCC , France got the fifth position after winning turkey and Lithuania in the Classification games.

[jrb0yd2]

off topic: just to give u a lesson karim... the reigning mvp of the pba(our pro league) for the past 2 years are full blooded filipinos... and when lebanon played here in manila 2 yrs ago, renren ritualo, a full blooded filipino and a former teammate of my bro bombed your lebanon team with his 3 pointers... and finally mark caguioa, 3 time pba scoring champion and currently the team's leading scorer (who also happens to be a full blooded filipino) took your guards (mahmoud and fahed) to school... now case closed!!!

 

[igorotski2]

daniab was right on one thread: everyones patriotic. we support our team and say its the best. even i support RP so hard and hope to get the ticket to beijing. of course, u dont expect Lebanese to say "RP will win", "RP is better than Leb".. right?? u have to understand them cus they love Lebanon as we do for our RP. let's support but lets not reach the point we're turning into uneducated kids who love trash-talking and narrow understanding. better say "Go RP" than "Leb sux, u moron" or something like that

guys,if we were in front of each other, cud u say mean things like u did in previous posts? i dont think so. u might jus get hurt

btw, on that foreign blood issue:

(leb blood)
Vogel- 0%
beshara- 50%
the rest(10)- 100%

average= 87.5%

that's the % of leb blood on the team
guys can we compare ours to theirs??

so stop complaing their a bunch of foreignblooded ballers. they aint qatar!
anyhow, it's not good to talk abt that cus both teams follow fiba rules regarding naturalizations,halfblodeds and stuff.

 

[psychopath2]

another moron!

Another reason why Filipino are hated in the world.This one of those dumbest and stupidest statement I ever read!

I just hope you fucking crawl up to whatever mountain you came from and stay there till the day you die!

bro, i think saints and igorotski just wanna play the role of a mediator between the filipinos and the other foreigners here (pa-pogi aura)

thats why im not surprise now, why they bash even their countryman
but, i hope they can also bash other nationalities here when those foreigners say stupid things about one's country also (para hinde nman icipin ng mga pilipino dito na papogi lng kau sa mga foreigners)

yeah, being considered as an unbiased poster here by the foreigners is nice
haha
thats what they wanna be
thats what they're trying to be
thats what they enjoy
so dont stop them from being such
lol
