2006 FIBA World Championship for Women: day last

US defeated Brazil. (At left, Iziane fouls Tamika Catchings.) Australia defeated Russia. day last results

But not to overlook the exciting contests in the 5-8 classification rounds. While a team that included all of Alana Beard and Seimone and Sue Bird and Sheryl Swoopes and Tamika Catchings and Tina Thompson and Diana Taurasi and Katie Smith scored just six (6) (VI) (these many: 1+1+1+1+1) points in a whole quarter (I mean, the public just be pissed on to our political agenda), France defeated the Czechs by 1 and Lithuania beat Spain. The next day, the Czechs beat Spain to take the seventh world rankings position and France defeated Lithuania to leave the tournament as world No. 5.

In terms of tournament play, then, these are the rankings:

  1. Australia
  2. Russia
  3. USA
  4. Brazil
  5. France
  6. Lithuania
  7. Czech Republic
  8. Spain
  9. Argentina
