Nowhere in my post did i not rate France. I simply wrote they were poor in Melbourne. And yes Australia only just beat them but Australia played poor in that game also. The only decent game the boys played was against greece when there was some physicality and feeling and the stuck to the hellas big time.

You are all saying how terrible France were in the pre-worlds tournament in Melbourne. Let me say this; Pre-tournament warm up games aren't really accurate of whats to come in the actual event.

Look at the Emus in France..They lost to France 68-65, they lost to Lithuania 96-80 and we bet USA 79-77.
Furthermore, the Canadians won the Douai Basketball Tournament over teams like Lithuania, USA and the Emus.

And..France just bet Lithuania tonight 95-78, which is a very convicing victory.

Those who don't rate France don't have much Basketball knowledge. And those that say France were terrible at the Four Nations Tournament--Pre-worlds tournaments aren't indicative of how a team will perform in the main event..Look above and see how the Emus did in Douai(Not well), and yet they are looking like a top 4 team at the Worlds!

Yeah I have heard alot about this guy. Also heard that players like Mario Delas(Crotia) and Matias Nocedal(Argentina) are NBA prospects. Nocedal has already signed a contract with TAU Ceramica, however.

Yeah G.Smith, 54 points against anyone is incredible in a World Championship event. It is even more amazing, that he did it against a powerful French outfit. And he did it on dramatic fashion, ala Kobe. His team was down by 7 with 2 in a half mins left. He hit some big shots and they won the game by won point 90-89.That is special..54 points in a comeback win against the highly-fancied France.

On another note, the Emus are looking really consistent. Top 4 spot..thoughts??
Maybe the Emus, USA, Lithuania and Crotia/Greece/Argentina or Puerto Rico

There is footage of the Game Winning shot Vs.Cairns on Dusty's site www.d-rych.com

You can't see or hear the shot and game clock. But it run for a min to show that the refs say the shot is good and the players shake hands..
