2010 WC absentees

[Picek]

Juan Manuel Fernandez(Temple NCAA) will probably be called to replace Cantero. Very young and talented PG

he played last year at U-19 WC?

Dalembert and Carl English are the ones I know.

Larry Ayuso and Christian Dalmau just quit the NT before flying to Germany for the Friendlies. Guillermo Diaz and David Huertas rumored to replace them. Ayuso is suspended for 1 year from all FIBA competition. Rumor has it that he was adamant about starting and getting more minutes.

Jesse Owen as well..

Yes. But they called Junior Cerqueira(1,80 PG). Don't ask me why. I saw cerqueira playing and he is a very mediocre player.

Good news is that Varejão didn't breake his ancle. Tomorrow they will evaluate how long will it take for his recovery. Let's hope for more good news.

This is a big blow for the Puerto Rican NT but also a very unprofessional attitude by these well known players. I hope their decision will not affect the spirit and chemistry of the players on the team.
It seems they are also big fans of Beno Udrih

atleast Udrih had the decency to do it before the prep games started..
these two did it 10 days before the first WC game..

U do have a point but all these players have something in common:

They all have super-egos and personal issues that need to be attended (at least this might be a positive point as PRSurf mentioned for the Puerto Rican NT at least).

Varejão injury is not that serious, he confirmed today that he will play the WC. Probably 10 days to recovery.

Ugh!! That hurts. Fran Vasquez's butt landed right on his ankle. I'm glad he's going to recover, not only for Brazil's sake, but for the Cav's sake as well.
