They did it again today against Iran and ended the game with a score of 37-4 in favor of Iran by fouling out one after another.It was bad form by Qatar. They should have played their best despite the ruling in a show of sportsmanship. I think it was a very unprofessional what they did.I would have supported them if they showed some fighting form despite 5 man less.They may be fined by FIBA for unsportsmanlike conduct.
'WUHAN, China: Referees were forced to halt an opening Asian Championship match between Qatar and Uzbekistan yesterday, when four of the five Qatari players purposely fouled out in protest of a FIBA ruling.The four players committed five personal fouls each within the first six minutes of the match, prompting referees to disqualify them and hand Uzbekistan a 27-12 win. According to match rules, referees must halt play if one team cannot field at least two players.Qatari coach Ali Fakhroo said the fouls were committed in protest of an International Basketball Federation (FIBA) ruling making five of the team’s 11 players ineligible for the championships due to their dual nationality, Xinhua news agency said. Fakhroo said his team would protest in the same way during its Friday match against Iran. AFP' It seems that they are getting a bit petulant and don't like the fact that they are not allowed to play 'bought' players......er.....the same rules that all the other teams have to adhere to.
