Originally posted by IlyaIt was actually like 15 year olds playing 18 year olds. I totally didn't enjoy it, would have hated it if our team was the one to lose like that, I actually do feel embarrassed.
For a decade our team had a psychological problem, failing in the most critical moments because they did not stand the pressure.
Just remember EC03 in Sweden against Italy how much fear the players had in their eyes without ability to score.
Why not turn the game around. Why not develop a legend a myth around the team and let our opponents be the party that has the psychological problem if they have to face us.You live with the Freak you die with the Freak!!!

Too sad,congrats for greece.Amazing defensive team.
Well technically,Greece had 8 players above 205 while Lebanon had 3 players only above 200 cm !
Second Greece were dominating the rebounds something like 45 to 16 for lebanon only.
The absence of joe vogel were the direct reason for that big failure,the centers of greece were almost taking control of everything,rebounds,lay ups,dunks.If joe vogel was there,im sure the difference wouldnt be that far,its not normal to have a 195cm defending a 210 cm.
This is not my team , this is not our performance,i know we were going to loose but not by shamefull loss.
Congrats to greece and their fans and i hope we will not start crying cz our situation is not so supportive.
Hope to fix the mistakes very soon and we are planning to do so.Proud to be Lebanese

I don't really think we could have such an advantage against the teams we' d be needing it. There are only a few teams who are as good or better than this team and that kind of edge would never work against them. Let's face it: The Liths, the Russians, the Spaniards or the US team would never really be afraid of us. (Sorry if I'm forgetting a couple of teams).Start your day with a smile and get over it

Originally posted by IlyaYou shouldn't be feeling like that man. This is sports, someone wins, someone loses and there's no shame in that. You said it yourself, you played without one of your two best players.
I know who is greece and how good they are ? but still we can manage a respectfull performance as korea did today.
I felt a big shame seeing the players running without any enthusiasm,i missed the games that we used to be very enthusiast to play and make the people here in lebanon proud,especially the game vs france that we won it.Basketball is the only thing that made the people here happy and forgetting for a moment the wars.Proud to be Lebanese

Now you're making me feel even worse.Start your day with a smile and get over it

I know that the situation in lebanon didnt help a lot,but even so i remember the WC 2006 when we played and lebanon were under a huge war and we could make a very respectfull participation.Proud to be Lebanese
