GREECE QUALIFIES !!!!!!!! 2-1 WIN OVER UKRAINE !!!!!!!!! :gr: :nw: :gr: :nw: :gr: :nw: :gr: :nw: :gr: :nw: Bravo levendides !!!!!!!

No kidding, if they don't beat Ukraine on Wed., kiss there qualifying chance goddbye. :(

Now you wouldn't say that if Greece was to put in the top 10? ;)

:nw: :nw: :nw: :nw: :nw: Interesting they moved up to the postition where Greece was when they won Euro 2004. :tup:

Wow, has Samaras re-discovered the evolution of goal? :LOL: :LOL: :LOL:

Evalagoal (just love that name :D ), I could understand the world rankings is full of garbage, sometimes we tend to follow it just to see when our national team are heading to, kind of like in the everyday world we may follow the personal lives of celebraties ever if we don't care so much about it. :rolleyes:

Sweet mercy, yeeeeesssssssss!!!!!! :gr: :gr: :gr: :gr: Is Sweden in it as well? :rolleyes:

JUANJO, I do respect Spain in many ways, way more than the U.S.. They are champions at virtually every level (Club or National Team). They play tougher defense than the Americans do, there offensive game flows very well. They play with passion, they never play like an INDIVIDUAL TALENT like the U.S., amazing how you guys find a way to beat Greece without your MVP player Pau Gasol. Your country are FIBA World Champions and I admire what they have accomplished. Now you guys play in Spain for Eurobasket 2007, I'm sure Greece would love to get there hands on Spain. :P Who knows we might beat you in your home soil, just like the Greek Football Team did in the summer of 2003. :gr: :gr:

Greece lost to Sverige (Sweden) 2-0 in the U-17 Euro qualifyer, shame! :(

Guys, Greece just moved up by 10 rankings, what gives? Has FIFA suddenly become generous to us? :P FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking 1. Brazil 1574 pts 2. France 1534 pts 3. Argentina 1492 pts 4. England 1477 pts 5. Italy 1474 pts 6. Netherlands 1327 pts 7. Czech Republic 1312 pts 8. Germany 1291 pts 9. Portugal 1272 pts 10. Spain 1255 pts 11. Nigeria 1166 pts 12. Cameroon 1062 pts 13. Ukraine 1029 pts 14. Switzerland 1016 pts 15. Uruguay 960 pts 16. Denmark 940 pts 17. Mexico 891 pts 18. Sweden 888 pts 19. Ivory Coast 879 pts 20. Colombia 867 pts 21. Paraguay 854 pts 22. Greece 833 pts 23. Ghana 830 pts 24. Croatia 825 pts 25. Romania 817 pts Do you notice Turkey isn't on the list? :P There ranked 28th! :LOL:

YASOU BAGHDATIS!!!!!!!!!!!! :nw: :nw: :nw: :nw: :nw: :nw: :nw: :nw:

Even though it's not a grand slam final, for once I want to see him win something in his young carrer.

I have found out that Greece WILL qualify for the Summer Olympic Games in Beijing after there sliver medal finish in WC 2006. After that they play in Eurobasket 2009 in Lithuania, if they finish in the top 5, they qualify directy to World Championship 2010 in Turkey. :tup: :gr: :gr: :gr: :gr:

Just to let you know that Spain has NEVER won gold in Eurobasket. :LOL: They got 1 gold in the World game, but Greece got 2 Euro titles. :tup:

Sweden in 67th place!!! :LOL: :LOL: :LOL: :LOL: Amazing how they are posted on that list. :not: Can they play basketball? :P

FIBA WORLD RANKINGS AS OF SEPTEMBER 3 1. United States 832.2 2. Argentina 720.0 3. Spain 619.0 4. Serbia 508.0 :blink: 5. Lithuania 460.0 6. Greece 429.0 :huh: 7. Italy 418.0 8. France 343.0 9. Germany 282.0 10. Australia 279.0 11. China 262.0 12. New Zealand 228.0 13. Puerto Rico 217.6 14. Angola 206.0 15. Canada 196.0 16. Turkey 194.0 17. Brazil 168.0 18. Russia 162.0 19. Croatia 125.0 20. Slovenia 121.0 Why in the world is Serbia in 4th place? What have they done after there World title in 2002? They are going downhill since then for the past 3 years. And why is Greece in 6th? They should be 4th place IMO after there improbable run at the championship finals.

Guys read this! http://japan2006.contrasport.com/teams/Gre...ece/128233.html

That is an insult from Coach K, he can't pronounce the Greek players name? Number 4 was awesome, who's Number 4? What a m#$%!!!! :LOL: :LOL:

Here it is, although I don't have the Eurobasket match history.Only remembered the 1987 game with Greece beating Spain 106 : 89 Here are the rest : FIBA World Basketball Championship 1986 - Spain 87 : 86 Greece 1990 - Greece 102 : 93 Spain 1998 - Greece 69 : 62 Spain Mediterranean Games 2005 - Greece 88 : 77 Spain

Final score in the second semifinals: Spain 75 - Argentina 74 Spain in next guys, let's hope Greece is ready for them. From what I've heard Pau Gasol might have injured his ankle, could this be a good sign? :rolleyes: P.S. - Argentina please beat USA so we can laugh further more ;)

WELL SAID FILE!!!!!!! :LOL: :LOL: :LOL: :LOL: :gr: :gr: :gr: :gr: :gr: :gr:

Oh my I'm so nervous, god I hope Greece could do something special in today's game with the U.S..

Yes sir, I could only wish Germany could beat the U.S. Won't happen though, it's OK Greece can take it to them if they play nearly perfect basketball. ;)

Yeah, I watched that video replay. Scary stuff man! I knew Varejao is a dirty f***! :angry: Even the Greek commentators said what he did was illegal. I'm glad Brazil isn't playing in the elimination round.

:o :o :o Holy mother of god! Please help him! FIBA better punish Anderson Varjero now! :angry: :angry:
