Here are the teams that will slug it out in the coming 2008 Olympics in Beijing Next Year...
Our very own RP Team didn't make it, too bad, but At least looking on the bright side, I don't think
our team or Iran can beat any of the teams listed below anyway, hehe...

Two USA beaters, Spain and Argentina are already in, that should make the tournament exciting.

To make the tournament worth watching...[br]Posted on: September 06, 2007, 11:17:40 PM_________________________________________________I 'll hope the remaining 3 teams would be all European Teams, to really test the USA Team strength, as they claim to be the best players in the world :

For me, I hope these teams make it in the Olympics :

1. Greece - Do I need to explain? Just watch the replay of last year's FIBA World, hehe
2. Croatia - Wow, this team is really tall, they upsetted Spain in the Elimination round of Eurobasket...
3. Germany - Nowitzki
4. Slovenia - The Darkhorse of Eurobasket 2007

New Zealand is usually present pero ang caliber mura lang China...I guess either Puerto Rico or Brazil may also qualify

I think, Spain, Argentina, Lithuania and France are the four major teams thats very capable of beating the U.S. Team if caught on a bad night.

Greece too with their impeccable outside sniping is a team to watch
