Nice one GILAS… You had fought a good fight… You all showed to the world that the PHILIPPINES is definitely back on track to the world’s basketball map… You all made us very very very proud…
Panalo tayo dito, naging unfair lang yong mga Referee, dapat di na to umabot sa OT e, ung last shot ni Jeff Chan klarong may foul pero di tinawag ng mga Referee. It’s a shame na sa mga ganitong world class na liga ay nagkakaroon ng dayaan.
Laban Pilipinas!!! Patuloy nyo lang ipakita sa buong mundo ang Puso ng Pilipinong Manlalaro…. At paniguradong mag-iiwan tayo ng magandang tatak sa mundo sa larangan ng basketball.
Keep on praying, Guys…. Mananalo pa rin tayo….
laban pilipinas, PUSO! ’twas a great game to watch, suddenly, gilas was fighting croatia toe to toe? and i could’nt believe it was happening…GO..GO..GO, team PINAS! indeed, we almost shocked the basketball world…
Fight! Fight! Gilas Pilipinas!!!! We’ll Win the next one!!!! Puso!!!
yes a nice by gilas, go gilas, go Philippines
sabi nga ni garry david, bilog ang bola. kung lima ang kalaban, lima din tayo. hindi sila pumunta sa spain para magpatambak. nadisgrasya lang ang gilas kanina, next time, dadapa na ang kalaban! kudos sa coaching staff for the timely adjustment. hindi malaman ng mga croats ang gagawin sa bola, obviously, they underestimated gilas which is understandable naman kasi ngayon lang ulit tayo nakalaro sa level na ito. the team left a very good impression sa international arena with their performance kanina. hindi push over ang gilas. ngayon alam na nila. p.s. japeth, man! kalma lang. tignan mo di ka na ibinalik. tsk!tsk!
He must have said that while was watching the game courtside. Baka nag liliyab na ang Bangko na inuupuan Nya.
