So, very weak group for Spain. They got Bahamas as a potential fork in the road and that's it. 

 

Greece vs Slovenia vs Croatia vs DR in the same group. Come on now. 

 

Latvia should win home tournament if they're healthy. 

 

Lithuania vs Italy in Puerto Rico. Sorry Italy, I can't stand Pozzeco. 

Nenad, this time you can stay good! :) but, in your opinion, witch of the big ones can stay out?

Pozzecco is a crazy man :)

It all depends who plays. It's very close to the end of the NBA season. Milwaukee with Giannis should play at least conference finals. And Dallas is playing better this season. Good thing for both teams is that these players always want to play even if they have the slightest chance to play. If both teams are in full strength, small advantage Greece, they play at home and should be able to have more depth in the roster. But, man, I would never bet against Luka.

Hi All

promised the young lad a trip to france to see the USA team. am i right in thinking all countries will be participating in the preliminary rounds that are held in Lille? the chance of getting a tk for paris knockout stages would be very slim

will the actual fixtures for the Lille games not be announced until early July? would usa team likely to play on the first day?

any advise much appreciated.

Canada cannot count on Jamal Murry to be healthy and show up or that Andrew

 

Wiggins actually cares enough to show up. Canada does not have anyone to replace

 

the key players on their roster. Does Canada have a replacement for Shai Gilgeous-

 

Alexander, I think not.

 

In addition, your basketball talent pipeline has DRIED up. For a few years Team Can-

 

ada was ranked second or third in the FIBA Boys Rankings. RJ Barrett led Canada to

 

a FIBA U19 Boys Gold Medal in 2017. The next U19 Boys Medal was a Bronze in 2021.

 

Since 2021, Canada has fallen all the way to NINTH. In stark contrast, Team Canada

 

has GAINED two spots to go from 5th to 3rd in the FIBA Girls Rankings.

    • I remember when I was a child and I was on holiday with my parents in Tunisia, I think in 1999? We were on a trip to the desert near the border with Algeria. The guide said something like that: Algeria is a few minutes from here but we won't go there because there is a war going on there and it's not safe.
    • Netanyahu is bad but unfortunately Hamas helps him maintain power. Every attack they make is a reinforcement of Netanyahu's rhetoric about the country's security, etc. In the fall of 2023, Netanyahu was already losing support and then suddenly a big Hamas attack on a festival near the Gaza Strip. Coincidence? It wouldn`t surprise me at all if Netanyahu knew about the plan for this attack but did nothing so that he would then have the tools to maintain his power. I also remember Ariel Sharon - he was probably even more radical than Netanyahu but he had a brain hemorrhage and fell into a coma.
    • Ah yes, post-colonial bickering never gets too old. Let me grab my popcorn!   Netanyahu is on a personal revenge mission to avenge his brother's death for his entire political life and people still act like they're surprised by his actions
    • MId-1962.  Almost all the Jews were driven out in a few days, even though they had been living there since Classical, pre-Muslim times.   Perhaps our friend could give us details of of any current Algerian plans to welcome them back, restore their property, guarantee their safety etc etc?    
    • In what year did Algeria free itself from French influence? 1960, exactly?
    • Or better, perhaps he'd like to tell us what happened to the 140,000 Jews who were living in Algeria in 1960, as against the 200 who live there now? 
    • There are still many people of Jewish origin in Central and Eastern Europe who have nothing to do with the state of Israel. What ties does Zelensky have to the state of Israel? Apart from he waś there as president of Ukraine and speaking in the Knesset? Nothing. In the power circles in Moscow there were/are many people of Jewish origin and what about that? A large part of the power apparatus of the USSR was based on Jews, especially in the years shortly after WWII.   Instead of constantly writing about Jews, would be better to tell me which country Algeria has better diplomatic relations with: Tunisia or Egypt?  
    • Handy guide for the perplexed.  
    • I`m a bit disappointed with the starts of the Italian team. I was counting on progress from last year. And here it looks like Bagnis is still very uneven. In Cortina there will be 3 competitions with medals to win and it would be a shame not to use our track to win 1-2 medals. The same goes for luge.
    • On the other hand Errani's serve doesn't make Paolini's task any easier... But Paolini is in a such good shape here, though, that I hope she wins her first title in the old Fed Cup. For Errani, it will be 4: 2009, 2010, 2013. So far, Roberta Vinci has 4 titles with Italy.
