I just went through lebanon's country facts on wikipedia and it said that 7 million out of the 14 mil. lebanese are in brazil and the rest are in west africa.
i've been travelin around the world and i have been to brazil a couple of times because im a sailor. I think most of the lebanese in brazil are living in the urban areas like rio, recife and sao paolo and i havent met a lebanese yet only japs and filipinos . But i guess they are more brazilian now than lebanese. I think lebanon should benefit from this because brazilians are known to be a football superpower, i mean every kid that i came across to is kicking anything in the street. and girls are drop dead gorgeous!!! hehehe:D

[Rostam]

I would like to thank Vroman and Freiji on behalf of 300 million Americans. ;) Sorry the jokes getting old.

you know, some retarted guys just can't change :(

[Rostam]

Cheer up, it's just a joke.

[eliooo93]

Cheer up, it's just a joke.

You know, when you see this ''joke'' for 14 consecutive days, 20-30 times per day, you can't call it ''joke'' anymore.

Guys, just chill! Rostam, congrats. U made it, and im happy because now i hope everyone will appreciate the West Asian basketball and gives us a fourth seat rather than having India, Sri Lanka & maybe bangladesh coming one day!
Elio, just forget it man!

Elio, just forget it man!

i think the fiba should decrease the seats to just 12 or maybe less in asia. its not normal that most of the first round games end by more then 50 points difference!.

[allouso]

Very proud despite some of the poor performances. Basketball was the only light for us and a distraction from all the problems we're facing. I seriously hope it won't be dead now, though i have a bad feeling.

I shall be leaving the forum now, i enjoyed my short stay here despite the loss.

See you all in one year, w nshalla kheir.

[kerdito]

Champions were not made to win, after all We can only say we are the Champions. I am proud I am Lebanese

actually there are more than 14 mill lebanese around the world there are more than 18 mill according to many statistics and there are many in the US, Canada, Arab Gulf, Europe and Africa just as well as the Lebanese living in South America specially Brazil, Argentina and Venezuela.

As for benefiting from Lebanese-brazilian football players the Lebanese Football federation is not even around they only know how to cheat and steal money( well at least most of them to say one or 2 are respectful) anyway this was tried back in 2000 but the only Lebanese originated players were not so better than our players but they were taking very big amounts of money. by the way Former South African soccer team Captain Pierre Issa has a Lebanese origin and he always said so, he was a very important player I remember in 1998 he was South Africa's top scorer but unfortunately all his goals were own goals in the very own net of his team ;) LOL

[Shin_Dong_Pa]

I salute the brave Lebanese national team!

[mr_reteche]

man , i wish fadi was a little younger...i love this guy, i have to say he was my idol when i first saw him play in the 1999 abc...i even remember mashantaf leading the team and fadi as the go to guy

[rtk04]

to all lebanese, jordanian and philipino friends...plz join this group on facebook to support our petition to get a wildcard for turkey:

[FARIDOON]

Lebanon deserve to be in next year FIBA WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP....:p:p:p:p:D:D:D

[flipballa7]

Lebanon deserves to be in the world Championships. They will be invited as a wildcard for sure.

[leb-basket]

Lebanon deserves to be in the world Championships. They will be invited as a wildcard for sure.

hopefully man we will be invited but you know its a policy and always europians and americans are preffered over the asian countries even if we were better than them ! damn it !
i guess we have a small chance this time if our federation worked seriously on this issue by accusing this fucking uzbeki referee for his several mistakes ...

btw after i saw the chinese performance in the finals i realized that that were tired which means lebanon's loss against jordan wasn't a surprise the players were exhausted i am not underestimating jordan's performance they were gr8 and they deserved the 3rd spot but i was just clarifying my point of view

anyways hope we will get this wild card although i am sure we wont
lebanon this small country that 3/4 of the europians and the americans never heard of i don't think anyone cares about him :mad::mad::(:(:(

Fred the brazilian who was playing in Lyon is from lebanese origin...
Aso Daniel Alves the player who plays with Barcelona is married to lebanese ...
..........
I hope we can benefit from this advantage that we have alot of good players in aboard we can get them to play in Lebanese basketball and football teams :P:D

Yeah, I'm very scared of Lebanon. You are the true champions of Asia, after all, you only lost 4 times in 9 games and got your asses kicked by Jordan... And this was even after you bought Vroman to the team, you guys are pretty pathetic.

[lord-patrick]

more pathetic than a bullshitter online ?

[dreamwalker]

I think Lebanon deserves the right to be a wild card entry, just enough time to review, re-evaluate and consolidated a much better game plan.

You have a very good coach in Raca, it's only fitting to give him a second chance and team Lebanon to prove its real worth and earn it's place in Turkey. Team chemistry will take its place when your team reaches its peak.

Compared to you, my Lebanese friends, I am twice heart broken, seeing my Philippines end up 8th place and my other team, Lebanon landing 4th.

See you in 2011 and we would like to have you as special guests again if we earn the right to host the next FIBA-Asia Championships in Manila.....:D;)

Who knows, one of our teams might earn the right to play in the olympics and a chance to visit the Queen of Canada who lives in London.:D;):)

he said before that he's an iranian,but i think if he is then he shoudn't be such pathetic
leave him he's just a kid,maybe he's using the internet in the kindergarden:D:D
we can beat his team,his team isn't that legend like china,no more legends in asia we're the new heros

[lord-patrick]

I decided to post the translation , since it's so true:

It's :

Thick like the skin of my ass..

Thickness is a term employed in lebanese to describe something really annoying.

Example :
Idiot: *says lame joke
Lebanese : l3ama bi albak shu smik

Smik = Thick

[leb-basket]

haha really funny leave him alone 7ada bye3la2 ma3 majrour khara :D:D:D:D:D

[Bigshot-A]

Guys I'm also Lebanese and i disagree with olajuwon, but don't you guys think you made some sort of overreaction? I mean it's just his opinion, he didn't insult any lebanese or anything, just stated his opinion the harsh way, and the best thing to do is to prove him wrong by just arguing the subject.

To olajuwon, How are we overrated and we should have made the Asia finals and the world cup wasn't it for the refs against China in the semis?
