People, STOP that intentional loosing NONSENSE...
once again.. it is 20 something seconds to go, Nigeria has the ball and +6... Remember, Lithuania can loose up to -9 and still be first in the group, so loosing -9 and winning the game are EQUAL outcomes for Lithuania.
No man in the RIGHT mind would foul in this situation... why foul and make it -8 and give Nigeria a chance to win by 10+ and be the first in the group... of course they dint foul, NOBODY WOULD, unless he they are CRAZY

Well, if I was in Kemzura's place, I would have tried to win, BUT, as already mentioned, if we have lost the game by more than 9 (?) points, we would lose the first place of the group. So he decided to play it safe.

No one in the thread said they lost on purpose. Stop making false accusations of what others said.

think about what you have just said...
it is +6 for Nigeria with 20 seconds to go... why on Earth would Lithuania foul if they are OK with a max 9 point loss... they are first anyway...
why foul and make it -8 with a chance to loose by 10+ and loose the first place...

+1
They did what they should have done to end up first.Why the lithuanias should have cared about who wins the match or who comes second....
 
Whew, that was close a one. If we'd have lost by 10 pts, we'd been second :(.

I'm THOROUGHLY disappointed with our game. Defense was horrible with exclamation point! Jonas, damn it, can't grab a two-handed rebound. I don't care if we're tired, we still could've put a lot of heart into the game. I hope this doesn't happen again.

Why wasn't Dulkys put into the game? That's a BIG question. He looked great in the friendlies, why not try him out in an official tournament?

SORRY VENEZUELA. It is what it is. Nigeria played their guts out and they won.
 
Venezuela is out???

OMG people from Lithuania...

now will see the power of HUGO CHAVEZ! :eek::eek::eek::eek:

Lithuania has other things to worry about, namely Greece or Puerto Rico in the quarter finals. Why would they go out of their way to beat Nigeria if they are already through? From Lithuania's perspective, they were up 4 points, not down by 6. Makes no difference to them whether they would win or loose by a couple of points. Besides, they could have also risked going to overtime, which is a bad thing for both teams.
 
Missed the game so I can't even guess if it was intentional or not. Doesn't matter Lithuania set themselves up as the most hated team in the country either way. :D

It's called pride. A really good game by Nigeria to be sure, but still a very disappointing one for the Lithuanian team.

:(
 
The real question is Why Nigeria didnt shoot a quick 3p and make a quick foul later and try to reach somehow the +10.

Wow, lots of Nigerian fans voted. It was 21:5 Lithuania when I last visited, and now it's 21:16.

exactly, that is not understandable... at least try... they could have had a chance.

If you read his posts, you can tell he's just a ten year old kid somewhere - meaning he doesn't have wet dreams yet.

Lithuania backed into first the same way his team did. A very poor showing overall.
