3rd Place Game:Lebanon vs Jordan

[allouso]

Matt Freije is fouled out. I hope this will be his last appearance in a Lebanese shirt.

Ayman Deeis gets 3 offensive rebounds in a row before scoring. Schoolboy errors.

Of course not, our whole team hasn't performed, they're simply not good enough anymore. We were counting too much on Freije and Vroman, and it cost us. I just want us to focus on our homegrown talent for once, it didn't matter before because we were winning and we turned a blind eye to it(Voger, P Khoury), but now, i don't think we can anymore.

congrats Jordan you were better in this game and Hard Luck Lebanon

[majjour]

Congrats to Jordan..

Lebanon just didnt have enough power to win this game.. we really should have used our bench more tonight... anyway it is useless now..

Some good luck for jordan on a few balls.. but that not why lebanon lost..

Friejie should have stayed on the bench and ali kaanan should have stayed in..

Simply.. Jordanians wanted this more and they got it..

[allouso]

Well done Jordan, you really deserved it. I hope you'll do well at the WC and i can see you sneaking to the 2nd round if you keep playing like that.

I'm really wondering where this leaves Lebanese basketball. I'm worried and extremely disappointed.

the difference maker is coach.. Raca got outplayed by Palma in all three games against Jordan this summer..

Congrats to Jordan, they really seemed to want it more.

well me too i am wondering if we will keep the same level of basketball in those next few years or the golden era in the lebanese basketball will be over.
we lost the qualification card yesterday when we gave everything for the win and we failed. today the team couldnt play more then 1 quarter. anyway i am happy for jordan its their first time that they qualify to the wc hope they do well and send a good asian image to the world.

ya yesterdays game was a killer for leb mentaly and psysicly .....i dont get get how jordans game yesterday was 24 hrs apart from their game 2day and lebanons game was only 14 hrs apart ....couldnt they atleast be after each other ......but 1 thing for sure is that Jordan wanted it more 2day ...aside from the first quarter leb had a very bad game....so congrats for jordan for being the second arab asian country to play at the world cup i dont really wanna count the all african qatari team...lebanon was at the WBC in 2002 and 2006 and hopefully but probably not get a wild card ...in any case this wasnt even close to the heartbreaker of 2007 so leb should look forward and prepare for 2011
