PR
CI
Group C, Day 6, Puerto Rico vs. Cote d'Ivoire
Must lose game for Puerto Rico. Must lose.
aim low, score high
Will Puerto Rico get robbed a 3rd time against Ivory Coast?
Oh I forgot, Ivory Coast isnt european.
Should be an easy win to some extent, but the africans managed to lose a close game against Russia, so it isnt a given.
Obviously PR needs to win this. Shouldn't be too difficult.

Puerto Rico by 6+points.
This game is not in the bag at all.
1. CI is a very athletic team that rested all their best players.
2. PR is coming from a tough late game against turkey and CI played early and rested against greece. PR will have <15 hrs between games whereas CI had ~ 24.
3. Arroyo is out and Barea is playing injured, rumors of the latter are that he is at around 60-70%. Barea will not sleep well tonight from what we heard.
I hope we can bring it.
Carlos Beltran pres of the Basketball federation of PR some key points:
1. Miscalculation of Goal average for 2nd WC in a row.
2. Manolo Cintron is the definition of mediocrity and is trash. He is fired often, and sometimes can't get a job in BSN.
3. FBPR left some of the players without return tickets out of Turkey. Players found out when they got to the airport. And had to pay their own tickets.
4. 5 yr ago we were 6th in the world, after the WC we are lucky if 16th.
Easy one for Ivory Coast

IVORY COAST 17 PUERTO RICO 6
DO CHINA A FAVOR IVORY COAST !!!!
we need one asian teams in next round.
CIV are fabulous so far.I'm impressed!
Who are you to judge?
I remember back in 2004 when PR beat USA and Angola lost by big margins to all teams people thought PR could just walk over Angola. Instead the game wasn't decided until the last second. It seems the way PR plays (relying on athleticism and running) they have the biggest problems with athletic African teams.
aim low, score high
10 points for ivory coast hehe
+12!!wtf is puertorico doing??
But I quite like watching these elephants.
"The worst part is wondering how you’ll find the strength tomorrow to go on doing what you did today and have been doing for much too long,where you’ll find the strength for all that stupid running around,those attempts to escape from crushing necessity,which always founder and serve only to convince you one more time that destiny is implacable,that every night will find you down and out,crushed by the dread of more and more sordid and insecure tomorrows.~Céline
29 - 16 ivory coast hehehe
It will take ages and ages for Puerto ricon basketball to recover if they lose today.
But sometimes losing bad is better then just losing.It will make u touch the problems in ur basketball.

Cote d'Ivoire could win, so I hope so. I hope +13 for them and Turkey win against China, then we (Lithuania) could get Cote d'Ivoire.
