[Nimaa]

I'd love to go to my favorite Persian restaurant tomorrow and devour one.

Shwarma at an Iranian restaurant?
where do you live?

shawarma here is delicious true but it's not the traditional shawarma. it's the lebanese version of shawarma but still very delicious

Cheers! to you on that my friend...

So sorry that you're team lost to China. I am sure Lebanon will be back with a vengeance in two years.

shawarma and a very cold beer for tonight.....

I thought shawarma is originally Lebanese. That's because I have friends from Syria, Egypt, and Iran, and all have said that if I want some authentic shawarma, I should try the Lebanese shawarma.

This is a very good off topic conversation... yum...

Congrats to my team and hard luck for the good Iranian team,

PersianWarrior20, you are talking about civilization and how well developed is your country , the first aspect of civilization is you respect other civilizations and countries, this is one of the main goals of sport among nations and it is obvious you are missing that. in 2009, you won against us by two points only in the semi final, it is not like 20 or 30 points difference. in Asia, the true basketball power so far is China and it seems it will be for many years before this change.

Good luck for your team

but turkish people are arabs

Nope. Well, there are many in the part called Hayat which belonged initially to Syria and some are in the regions of Mersin and I think also near Izmir (if I remember right), but Turks are mostly Turks, not Arabs.

Truly unbelievable.....

China better watch out too, this has turned into a free for all for the finals spot.

that's good for us man. know we wont have to deal with iran in the qualifyer. Now will play easy teams like Jordan or the phillipines. All we need now is for Korea to be inspired against china and we are set. easy olympic berth

its time for a cinderella tournament for team philippines.

[lrangels]

To be quite honest i thought Jordan had no chance.. I would like to apologize to Jordan . Congratulations!

Me too! However, the basketball gods were smiling upon Jordan today.

I have seen so many upset or underdog wins, and what I noticed the most is that if an underdog has kept the game close, they have a chance of winning.

In addition, Iran has been bulldozing their opponents by at least 20 points a game, and I think they weren't tested unlike other teams in this tournament. Yes!, they've been playing together a lot, but this is a different tournament and a different year.

I am just hoping that Jordan is mentally tired from that game, and my Philippines would be able to mount a repeat performance against Jordan.
