There’s a pretty large and active Armenian diaspora in LA, so that might explain the choice of venue (along with the popularity of French players in the US). “Sport has the power to change the world.

Makedonas 1,584 Posted July 4, 2023 #16 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Our girls U18 team lost 62-63 to Luxembourg at the European Championships Division B the other day. I do not know much about this competition, but surely losing to Luxembourg is not a good sign for the future... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we are now into the semifinals, and so are Luxembourg, so I guess it wasn't such a bad loss after all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makedonas 1,584 Posted July 9, 2023 #18 Share Posted July 9, 2023 So our girls won easily against Bosnia for bronze, but our girls somehow do not get promoted because Portugal is hosting next year and they were one of the teams who finished bottom 3 of Division A. Therefore, only 2 teams got promoted from Division B instead of the usual 3. What a ridiculously unfair rule! The hosts of these events should not be chosen until the field is finalized. FIBA are an absolute JOKE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
