2023 Asia Pacific world cup qualifiers (windows)

[IPC]

so, barring any Indian miracle, SKor is out of contention for the WC?

If FIBA upholds the forfeitures, yes. They're out of contention.

India gets 4 or 5 points for this window, automatically. 8 if they win against Gilas and NZ. SoKor will get 4 AT MOST if the forfeitures are upheld.

things would be different in Korea if this is FIFA WC qualifications, right.

Maybe.

I read an article from years back that basketball is losing its popularity in Korea.

Football is king in Korea

But baseball is also tops among team sports, and they have produced MLB players.

Among individual sports, Archery is tops, followed by short track speed skating.

Imagine the uproar if they have to forfeit football matches, archery and speed skating meets because of covid.

As of now both Korea and Japan actually disappointed more of the news that MLB might go on strike,baseball is more popular in both countries as in America,American football is still king,followed by baseball,basketball sometimes come in third.Come spring the Korean fans and media just go crazy for baseball,in almost every game a celebrity or politician will throw the ceremonial ball.IMO,baseball is something that Filipinos are a natural,the stories of the great Babe Ruth striking out against the local pros back in the day when they visitied the Philippines.

You don't need to be that tall either.

5'11-6'2 is more than enough to be a MLB player. The rest comes down to skills.

Need to follow baseball again. Still a Dodgers fan.

On the contrary, isn't being smaller actually better in baseball, due to the smaller strike zone?

Depends what position you're playing.

Taller players are great on the outfield when trying to catch long balls to force a strike.

I wouldn't place a 5'7 guy on the outfield in place of a 6'4 guy

go yankees..

Wait a minute. SoKor will have 0 classification points if they forfeit. That's worse than a loss.

Furthermore, if a team forfeits twice, they're disqualified from the competition, and all their games are nullified.

Can they just call up some random Koreans living here in the country? Para masabi lang na may team sila.

14-man pool: https://twitter.com/TheDeanQuinito/s...PQDVa6I-A&s=19

Guards: Juan GDL, Bolick, Montalbo, Banal, Dwight, Tungcab
Wings: Navarro, Pogoy, Thirdy, Lopez
Forward: Rosario
Bigs: Kouame, Rangel, Kelly

I hope Banal, Pogoy and Tungcab strictly play the off-guard positions, and that all of Navarro, Dwight, Thirdy, and Lopez play, because we're kinda strapped for wings.

Where is Bolick?

[JAMSKIE]

Where is Bolick?

Yeah. I just wonder why

[interxavierxxx]

Yeah. I just wonder why

I'm surprised Tungcab made it.

Montalbo better be worth the hype.

Kasama si Bolick dun sa tweet ni Quinito.
