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.''
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.
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!!!
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.
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

Vogel have 0% blood, Beshara 50% and their still alive. This one is for the X-files!
Half-blooded?! And they we're beaten by whom?!
Foreignblooded ballers?! I thought today was just the openning, why are the players all blooded and stuff!

yeah ur right
put more simple and impartial:
team leb--> 1 naturalized player--> legal (not ur prob. coz fiba allows this)
team RP--> fil-am players --> legal (not our prob. if there are many filipinos in USA)
fil-am issues, lebanese blood percentage among their players ratio blah blah (LOL) ETC... are useless here since both teams build their team the legal way
its like this:
filipinos wanted to naturalized a player
but they cant (dunno wats the reason)
on the other side, no matter how hard lebanese would deny this... but... lebanese also wanted to have american-blooded players
but they cant (maybe they're citizens wanted to stay only in lebanon)

the thing is i saw only ONE foreigner who acted like a fool on anothr thread. i defended one pinoy who he called an 'idiot' after giving an opinion..
well, i cant blame Leb posters cus they reacted from a pinoy post on page 59.. then there came the lebs who reacted after their naturalizd stuff was brought up. they talkd abt pennisi,taulava,and other fil-ams.. well, i coulda defended our line-up but if u average the filipino blood in the roster.. we dont have much nativeblood percentage like they do (shown on my prev. post)

The Filipinos too can do this against France if Tony Parker will not play
