Lebanon writes their second victory in World Champs history

[CHINA TEAM]

Congratulations to Lebanon! Asian teams are well represented this time around. I hope we can both win tomorrow/today and get to the next round

Me too!~

Correct me if I'm wrong, aside from the Philippines, the only other countries/territories where basketball is more popular than football are Lithuania, Puerto Rico and Lebanon. So basketball popularity in Lebanon will be at its peak with this win over France!

slovenia,crotia,sebia,greece(near future),russia,china,america,canada,newzeland,Esth onia,latvia,and so many on are much more popular than soccer!!!!!!!!

In Estonia, Latvia, Russia, Croatia and Serbia basketball isnt #1 sport for sure. Its big in Serbia, but anyway soccer is more popular in Serbia.

thanks u bro

and 10x to all who congratulate us ...

we entered the champs with a goal to win a game in the world cup... till now we won 2 including 1 against france and we an make them 3 toorow and qualify

so to us its a success regardless of tomorow anywayz ...so if we qualified that would be more than a historical thing to us ..

by the way , what happened today is said to be the best thing that ever happened in lebanese sports

I really want to make congrats for Lebanon. The fact that this mid-east country is in World Championship is great already. Not only that. Players have to play while having in minds about their country, the war that's happening there, have to worry about it. I'm sure that's very hard mentally. I just want to say they are not only able to beat all psychological things in their minds, they're also able to beat such team like France! That's a HUGE respect to Lebanese players. HUGE.

Again, congrats to Lebanon fans!

Basketball as popular as it, it's still a secondary sport in most countries. As much as we love this sport, that's the cruel reality.
