(also, basketball)

Belgium have a chance to clinch a place in the Eurobasket qualification final today, if they can manage to beat 0-3 Portugal. A big win against Bosnia guaranteed that they would finish first on GD with any sort of victory today. France will be the favorite, no matter the opponent, but anything can happen in a two game "series".

Elsewhere, lots of preparation matches for Eurobasket and FIBA Americas, and the Asian and African championships have just wrapped up. So, things are almost sort of happening. Plus, the Jason Williams signing! Okay, maybe not so much.
