Big statement match from Canada. It also increases our chances at making the quarterfinals assuming we don't get overconfident.

c'mon! if your team doesn't get at least into the top 4 at the end of the tournament, you should send them home by swimming (with some sharks pursuing them)

I completely underestimated Latvia ....

They played a very weak team Libanon , so still there's bigger challenges for them

Obviously on paper we have a great team, but this wouldn't be the first time where the team should easily win loses.

At this, after so many cycles where the team underperformed, just an Olympic qualification would be satisfying.

South Sudan  impressive so far in their FIBA World Cup debut leading Puerto Rico  at the half 52-42

[Tigercub 72]

Tied ballgame!!!  vs   with no time left in the match! And ref calls a foul on South Sudan! Puerto Rico misses both free throws!!!

 

and we are going into Overrrrrrtime hahaha

Canada vs France was the only sold out match so far in Indonesia.

 

Funnily enough Bertans said that he hoped at least 2,000 local people come when journalists asked him during their training session (probably thinking basketball is not that popular here)

Puerto Rico  prevails in OT, 101-96 in an up-tempo ballgame

 

Up next: Serbia  vs China

I didn’t know South Sudan is that good or is Puerto Rico just bad. Anyway almost a huge upset.

I knew we are the weakest team of the whole tournament but that was embarrassing.  probably the worst performance ever in a Basketball World Cup history

 

and I wish I knew why the hell our dumb coach started the game with such a weird line-up ?!? that already gave up a 20pts lead to Brazil
