[Day 1] Group A: Jordan vs. Greece

[Psofimis]

when jordan scored after 6-7 minutes in the second quarter one greek guy screamed GOAAAL!!

[tmlouk]

They are not missin their players, three players retired, and Rasheem Wright was eliminated of the squad by the coach.

it is the same...only the missing of wright is a huge lost, that they aren`t able to cover...

all this money, which were spending for the trip of Jordan to venezuela, was sth like throwing money out of the window.
with such a weak team, they had to know, they they are to weak to reach one of the places. instead of this, they could play some friendlies...
it would have been better to stay at home, if they are missing their best players...

30 pts difference at halftime

They are missing those players because they are either retired (Zaid Al Khas and Ayman Idais), Wessam Al Sous (banned from playing), Rasheim Wright (not called to join the NT).

Question: has Printezis always been this athletic? I've only seen him play a few times for the Greek national team (back when he had long hair).

They are missing some key players from 2011 squad, such as Rasheem Wright, Islam Abbas and Zaid Al-Khas...

Also Wesam Al-Sous was a key player in 2011.

The game is even uglier than the Korean one, at least Korea forced some turnovers, Jordan just surrendered after 5-6 minutes. Hope for a better showing against PR.

The ironic thing about this is that Jordan started better than Korea did against Russia. Unfortunately Greece plays faster than Russia does, and they're not missing anything.

Jordan will probably pack it in cause they got no chance in this.

[Psofimis]

Not even with Michael Jordan...

[babdelkader]

Is F. Najjar better than Rasheem Wright ???
WEIRED coachs !!!

[babdelkader]

Looks like Jordan began with great enthousiasme, Greeks are confidents.
Elias Zouros is coaching Greece, he used to coach in Lebanon years ago.

[Khalid80]

21 point Greek lead after 1 quarter.. I just hope Jordan doesn't lose by more than 50 points at this rate.

mantzaris is out.

It all depends on how serious Greece will take the game. If they take it serious and play hard, then I see no chance for Jordan. If Greece starts soft and allows Jordan to gain confidence, then it can be a hard game.
