    Why would an African championship game be played in Manila? That’s very odd to me.

    "One does not simply walk into Mordor. Its Black Gates are guarded by more than just Orcs. There is evil there that does not sleep, and the Great Eye is ever watchful. It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire and ash and dust, the very air you breathe is a poisonous fume." Boromir

            Canada and the US qualify for men’s basketball by making the knockout round, ensuring they finish over Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. US got upset by Lithuania today, but that might’ve played to their favor as they now get to miss Canada, Slovenia, and Serbia until the finals.

                    They’ve had the talent for about a decade now, but they could never get guys to commit to playing in tournaments.

                        Does the host country always get an autobid in *every* team sport?

                          Seems like it... The IOC still plays the "growing the sport" card.

                            I know South Korea and China were in jeopardy of losing their men’s hockey autobids for the winter games. But I haven’t heard of anyone not getting one. Helps they dumped baseball and softball, though there are always enough Americans with heritage to backfill a country’s roster for those sports.

                            Funny enough France came into this ranked #5 and got bounced in the group stage, so in a normal Olympics they would have to qualify through the prelim tournaments.

                              It would be spectacularly funny if they won the gold in basketball before they've won the Stanley cup again.
