Sweden went 1-4 in the groupstage of the european basketball championship and will advance. Who thought top 4 of 6 advancing was a good idea?
The result isnt updated but sweden lost to lithuania
>>150563334im just happy britain didn't go through
Would be perfect if the top 2 countries advanced
>>150563350Britain might be the worst basketball country in the world. I'm shocked they even managed to win a game.
>>150570830No I think Greenland and Papua new Guinea are worse than themWhy do americans use these stupid hyperboles?
>>150570913They aren't because those teams probably don't even field a team in FIBA or Olympics. So yes, Britain is definitely the worst country in the world.
>>150571464let's see - this time it's not the Cocaine ranking, but the victory ranking.https://www.fiba.basketball/en/ranking/menGB is 48th, worst European team is Moldova at 151st. Mentioned teams don't exist, though.So yeah, they are bad for a big developed European country, but not as bad as 2/3 of the world's countries that field basketball teams.
>>150573177>>150573177I wonder why they're so shit though. They can clearly produce decent athletes as far as boxing, rugby, soccer, and tennis is concerned. Why are they so shit at basketball? Can't even use the excuse of popularity as basketball is in the top 10 most popular sports in the world now.
>>150573390>american when faced with a sport someone else doesn't care aboutThey also suck at baseball, hockey, pétanque, and that aztec ball game where they sacrifice the team that wins
>>150573447Well baseball is a shit boring sport. So is the rest of that shit. Hockey is crazy expensive to play so it kinda makes sense why they suck at that. I don't know what that other bullshit your faggot ass named but I'm sure they're shit sports as well too.
>>150573461You sound black or retarded, good day sir
>>150573480>tf>tpSure mohammad
>>150573390>I wonder why they're so shit thoughThey got like 20 other sports including regional memes that take priority and absorbs talent as they offer more infrastructure and perspective. Apehoop in the UK is in the same spot as Icefight, it's the accepted but rather unloved stepchild of organized sports.
