Lebanon deserves to go to the world cup next yr in turkey because: 1) The refree was the main reason Lebanon lost to China in the semis.
2) Basketball is the # 1 sport in Lebanon.
3) Lebanon has many good and interesting players like Fadi El-khatib and Matt frieji Jackson Vromen Mazen Mneimneh Rony Fahed Ali MAHMOUD Brian Bshara Ali Kanaan Daniel Fares just to name a few.
4) Lebanon is so close to Turkey. Many Lebanese would travel to Turkey to watch the Lebanese NT.
5) Lebanon can be full of surprises, remember we won France in 2006, for example. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wild card teams for Turkey 2010
