[BlacKOEIsle]

guys,please don't focuse on the rankings too much....That will make many people annoyed...

[lebanese-anti-khatib]

lebanon population is 3 million, we cant keep up with china/iran.
this tournament will be our falldown.. unless we keep naturalzing.

[rpidols]

I don't agree with you....
If your country can be more stable , avoid the wars and boost the economy,It seems fundamentally you are better than Iran,coz Iran may never reach your country's basketball favor...

World Cup?

Australia
South Korea
Japan (will beat New Zealand for the last spot)

oh... if you meant basketball

Iran
China
Jordan

i don't think the Philippines is good enough to place in the top 3... no Kelly Williams, no solid backup big man (Pennisi plays below the rim on the 3pt line), no naturalized player, not the best international coach... list goes on and on.

can you win without a naturalized player vogel?

Can you expect a qualification without naturalizing a center on your roster ?

[reamily]

Hehehe all of the list I've read does not include Korea?????

Korea who doesn't send their best possible team for the last 2 years

Even though I am convinced that Iran is good Iran is not sure of a spot unlike China.

What is the spot China have??
Did send our best players ???

Okay it is a wide open race for the fiba wbc and I will give china a step ahead to others to qualify for the event with or without Yao Ming

lebanon is a good team but most filipinos don't give this team much respect because in four games that our national teams played each other, the philippines leads 3 to 1... two wins in manila invitational in 2007 and 1 by our college players in the 2009 fiba champions cup. the only win posted by mighty lebanon was at the jones cup in 2007, via a buzzer beater by khatib..

on the other hand, filipinos have high regards for china because the philippine national team has yet to boast a convincing win against this world basketball power. we got 3 wins against their C-team in 2007 but that's all. in my humble opinion, i think the only way these filipinos will respect lebanon is by beating the philippine national team again and again and again much like what china's been doing since the late eighties.

as for me, i respect every national team be it my own or lebanon or qatar or angola. i do not tolerate the actions of my filipino brothers who like offending the feelings of others by starting useless arguments. basketball is one happy sport. let's all be happy and eat hummus together.

With all due respect but all your wins came in friendly games and friendly games are always different than the official games,as an example Jordan won Jones Cup 2007 and they didnt even make the semi finals of the Asian Championship at Tokushima.
Second,our win against you in Jones Cup came from a buzzer beater for Rony Fahed and not El khatib.
Third,your last win was against Riyadi,a local team from Lebanon and not Lebanon National Team.
Riyadi will only have 3-4 players in the NT!
Thank you!
