Childress Europe level "Very, very high"

[anakha]

Yes

You can find a lot of crap on the Internet.

But you seem to believe anything

You're missing the point.

Wherever a dish originated means nothing to whether or not it's considered local cuisine.

Which still makes souvlaki more Greek than Comcast-boy ever will be.

Man, I love turkey on a sandwich.

You can find a lot of crap on the Internet.

Just not a page other than this thread suggesting that Souvlaki originated in Turkey.

[sook]

souvleki is what its called in greece.


In Turkey its called a Shourma fyi. So killbill is actually wrong

ROFL we just won the gold fool

Technically, Argentina is number one. But it's a freaking stupid ranking system. I looked up the reason for why the USA in number two after winning gold.

As I understand it, the FIBA rankings operate on an 8 year cycle. After the 2008 Olympics, the 2000 Sydney results were dropped. Prior to Beijing, the rankings were calculated using the results from Sydney in 2000, the 2002 WC, Athens in 2004, and the 2006 WC. After Beijing, the Sydney results were dropped and the rankings began with the 2002 WC and ended with 2008 Beijing. The points for the US remained unchanged because the US won gold in both Sydney and Beijing, but the Argentinians gained points because they took bronze in Beijing, but failed to qualify for Sydney. So, the US gained nothing as it simply swapped a gold for a gold, but the Argentinians got to drop a bad result and replace it with a bronze.

It's a stupid way of compiling a ranking because realistically, what a national team did 8 years ago has no effect on how good it is now (case in point, Argentina being ranked No. 1 by FIBA now, but failing to qualify for the Olympics 8 years ago), but that's how it is done. FIBA explains the rankings on its website, but it is not the most easily understood explanation in the world.
