FIBA in cancun Playing DIRRRTY!!!!!

Living in Mexico but having a mind of my own instead of a dog eat dog world mentality ;its sad and upseting to see huge nations trying to screw over new upcoming and smaller countries with great potential. We are all human and we should support one another... FIBA tried to screw Belize by making up rules and demoralizing the Belizean team ... my southern border country... SHAME on u PANAMA.. Costa RICA, GUTEMALA and MEXICO Coaches and FIBA representtives in Mexico ... Play fair if you are secure with ureselfves no need to play dirty amigos..... But KArma is a BI@&ch..... Arriba Mexico pero si ganamos que sea por nuestro sudor y no por la cuenta de otros que no tengan dinero..... PORFAVOR.... Dios es JUSTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually, Panama is (I think) the only team supporting Belize.

Didn't they refuse to sing a petision from The Mexican federation to forbid Belize to participate in the event

I dunno, maybe I'm wrong

But yeah, that's been a disgusting situation

yo... i am Reeeeaaaallllyyyyy thinking about jumping on a plane. direct flight to CANCUN for the game this evening....

Honestly i hope mexico gets it handed to them... but no matter what, i'm proud of these guys...

and just to show how this FIBA COCABA is "fixed" in belize's news there was talk of FIBA now going to allow 4 teams in the upcoming tournament. outrageous, after they said only top 3.

they came in and thought only mexico/ panama/ and costa rica had a chance; but here comes upstart belize...!!

lol i love it

Why did Fiba Americas take the link to COCABA off the main page?

http://fibaamericas.com/fiba_us.asp

Luckily, we have a link here:

edit: they no longer even have COCABA standings on the front COCABA page! It's interesting and kind of sad that their moves to keep info away is so transparent...

 

[JGX2]

They have live stats for the Honduras game today for the first time in the tournament.

[JGX2]

97-97 with 3 minutes left, Garnett has 37.

 

[mercury2]

Belize puts up 3 to tie it at 103 with 19+ seconds remaining.

Belize called for intentional foul, Mexico 2 FTs and ball. Grrr!

VERY questionnable calls in this game.

 

[mercury2]

Mexico makes the 2 FTs, up 105 - 103.

 

[stuart2]

Garnett has 43 points, 11-17 from the field, 10 of those are three-pointers!

"I'd love to talk to Romel Beck and hear his feelings on playing for Mexico when he can't speak a lick of Spanish"

 

[mercury2]

Belize 103 - 106 Mexico. Belize with the ball, 15+ seconds remaining. Be still my heart!

 

[mercury2]

Mexico and the refs won 106 - 103.

 

[Dtown2]

Damn Belize lost, still a good showing in this tournament in spite of FIBA's incompetence and possible corruption.
