[5th Place Game] Lebanon - Korea

[CKR13]

What happened to Yang? Is he injured?

Ulsan Mobis Phoebus, his club requested that Yang Dong-Geun must sit out the rest of the classification games.

This boils down to which team has enough left in the tank and who wants it more to salvage pride to such extent. Korea has a 9 man rotation into this game. 10 if Yang Dong-Geun will play. Lee Seung-Hyun and Park Chan-Hee are out although small chance Park can play.

italy,serbia will not be allowed to host as fiba will pick 3 different hosts than the 15 teams qualified. Same for canada and france if they wanted to bid.

So I wouldnt be surprised if germany, russia and turkey each got a tournament.

They will be allowed. In that case 8th Eurobasket team will qualify. The same thing we are discussing in this topic about Asia

Rumours has it (from very reliable sources) that Venezuela paid 5mln dollars in 2012, even tho Olympics were held in Europe, FIBA made crazy choice by hosting qualifiers in different continent, just for the sake of money.
Now starting bid is around 2mln euros, all 3 tournaments might be held in the same continent, just country needs to pay more and has facilities to host the event. From Europe alone there're already 5 bids: Italy, Germany, Russia, Serbia, Turkey. Also Latvia has it in minds, but I doubt it, cause they simply has no such money. Wouldn't be surprised France to join the race. Of course such as Canada also is expected to be among candidates

Too many EU teams. There's no way an Asian team can win any of the OQTs.

Rio or bust, indeed.

No chance for 5th in asia to get in in unless they are hosting, and it costed Greece 3 million euros to pay for FIBA in 2008, you think our federation Will pay if they cant get insurance for Fadi ?

how is hosting decided? Don't think they give it to any asian nation apart from china.So we have to wish china doesn't win title as well

Philippines has a good chance as well.. they have great facilities and one of the best and biggest basketball arenas in the world
