Would be great to see Cameroon qualify, but not sure if that is still possible. Siakam + Embiid should be enough.

with all these European nations at tqo it's going to be impossible.

Egypt defeats Mexico 100-72 to get the 1st victory in WC since 29 years

And Egypt is back in business to fight for the African Olympic spot.

Lebanon leading over France 

[thepharoah 2,413]

so no more matches after Group Stage in 17-32 placement matches right ? Egypt now has 2 points with Jordan with 0 and New Zealand or Greece with 2 points in Group N

i'm so happy of this victory anyway , i couldn't have dreamt of just defeating Mexico some very few years ago , how about defeating it in 28 points with a full squad of local players with just 1 player playing in Korea Assem Marei , 2 players from NCAA one of them Adam Mousa is below average and even there's Egyptian players here better than him , Patrick Gardner could seem a neutralized athlete to u , but he's half Egyptian and half American and he's not that top quality player , he is just better than some players playing in Egyptian league , without a neutralized player like all teams that's definitely a very big result for Egyptian basketball

Embiid has taken the French passport a couple of years ago

 

if he plays the Olympic tournament (and it's a big "if"), it's gonna be with the French team

Embiid Mentality can't be committed to National teams and cut his vacancy in summer , i don't see him playing National Teams only if he gave up winning NBA and want to win Olympic Gold for example

1) I know that he could play for France (or the US?). Austin Reaves also got the german passport, but he still decided to play for the US.

2) Did he give up his cameroonian passport? If not, then he could still play for them.

3) I know that him and Siakam won't play for Cameroon, but i still think that it would be great.
