POLL: what would be the most surprising outcome of this WC?

[busy]

I chose Jordan, Tunisia, or Ivory Coast making it to the Top 10.
Excluding Angola and China, African and Asian teams still have a long way to go to catch up with the rest of the basketball powerhouses in the World.

But our way is shorter

Some Might be true !
But I Predict Lebanon with their new coach who took New Zealand in 2006 to the Semi's might make a good contribution..hopefully qualifiying for the Second Round With Lituania & Spain..

I don't get mad usuallly, but you guys (lebanese) are really getting on my nerves. If Lebanon was in Europe you'd be in division B nothing more. Second round is a possibility, but others think about 1/4 i'm not sure Liths will go that far...

Nowadays, Angola is not the team we saw in Japan 2006, who almost defeated France in eight finals and played a thrilling 3OT game Germany of Nowitzki.
Portugal (nearly to be a Division B NT) plays regularly with Angola and we can win frequently, which shows some under-level of FIBA Africa, actually.

What did it happen with Armando Costa?

There are no European Teams in semifinals? Lol.

It would be divine intervention if Lebanon makes it through!

Logic ..

Let s be little serious..

Positive surprises
Croatia / Iran /China : I expect one of those teams will reach second round and maybe 1/4 round

Australia: to be semi-final or maybe final !!!

Negative surprises
France/New Zealand : of of those two teams to be knocked out from first round.. I am scared from France's Basketball current level.. might be like in Football !!!

Remember me and do not forget this post

Croatia reaching the Semis will be a huge surprise they havnt had much to show in the last god kows how many wc and eurobasket tours......

Im hoping Serbia reach the Semis, I will be happy with that, they are still a darkhorse and there is no pressure QF is a good result

[T.W.Is.M.]

Other: Greece and Serbia finishing the game if they meet.

Ιt's more like FIBA allowing Greece and Serbia 2 meet during the tournament.
