France-Italy (again)

They met about 63 times within a few years in football, and now twice in a couple weeks in basketball. This may not be the World Cup final, but it's pretty fucking big. A win for France puts them into the qualifying final, probably against Bosnia & Herzegovina. An Italy win makes things a lot more interesting, and would probably send it down to point differential (assuming they both beat Finland). This time it's in France, and they have Parker. So they've got to be favorites, but the Italians' shooting ability makes them a scary opponent. Should be a fun one tomorrow.

The Asian and African basketball championships are also nearing their conclusion, so you might want to try and take a look at that, too. Fun stuff. At early-ass times, mostly. But still.
