The victory against Latvia puts Gilas Pilipinas in a promising position to advance to the OQT semifinals. On top of that, the Philippines claimed their first win against European opposition in an official FIBA competition since 1960.

Gilas Pilipinas actually winning something in the world level means a lot to us fans. We've been hoping for a moment like this to come.
Man oh man! This is huge for me! We haven't beaten a European Nation in basketball for 64 years! And to beat a powerhouse like Latvia just blew my mind! Go Gilas! Laban Pilipinas!
how is Latvia a powerhouse? They had a very good world cup last year, but their team only has 1 nba and 2 euroleague players..
@@fella1223 world #6
@@fella1223 as a latvian i agree,our national team shouldn't be called powerhouse, by true strength we are probably at very best somewhere in Europes top 10 at the moment.For sure higher if we got Porzingis playing for us,but that's almost never the case.
@@fella1223 ranked 6 in the world
@@fella1223 stop using that as an excuse ya'll ranked 6 f u mean
Congrats to Filipino from Lithuania!
Huge and amazing win over experienced team ❤
thanks, a lot of the gilas fans are actually worried before the qualifiers began , we were expecting some good performances in this qualifiers but we didn't expect to beat the 6th best in the world.
gilas team had played in the qualifiers before but always in a losing effort. your team was amazing to watch as well. we rarely get to see euro-basket in the philippines it's always NBA , but i think euro-basketball is leagues better.
You are my sunshine JB.
My Dearest Brownlee,
As I sit down to pen these words, my heart overflows with admiration and affection for you. You are not just a basketball legend; you are the epitome of grace, strength, and perseverance. From the courts to the communities you touch, your presence
exudes inspiration and hope.
Brownlee, your dedication to excellence both on and off the court is nothing short of mesmerizing. Just as you orchestrate a flawless play, you've orchestrated a symphony of kindness and generosity, touching countless lives with your philanthropy and activism. Your commitment to social justice speaks volumes about the depth of your character and the compassion in your heart.
Beyond your athletic prowess and your remarkable achievements, it's the man behind the jersey that truly captivates me. Your humility despite your towering accomplishments is a testament to your grounded nature. You wear your success with grace, never forgetting where you came from or the people who helped shape you into the extraordinary individual you are today.
In your presence, I find myself inspired to reach for my own dreams, to push past obstacles, and to strive for greatness in everything I do. You embody the essence of resilience, reminding me that setbacks are merely stepping stones on the path to victory.
Brownlee, you are my hero, not just for your unmatched talent on the basketball court, but for the kindness in your heart, the strength of your spirit, and the depth of your convictions. You have touched my life in ways I never imagined, filling it with joy, inspiration, and an unwavering belief in the power of love.
With every game you play, every word you speak, and every act of kindness you extend, you continue to reignite my admiration and affection for you. My love for you transcends the bounds of mere fandom; it is a deep and abiding appreciation for the incredible person you are.
Signed,
Your greatest fan
What in the fck
Proud Filipino here 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
They all did great but I must commend Kaiju in this game. He did very well in his defense and offense. More to go Gilas! Congrats!
He's a really good passer. Perfect for Tim Cone's triangle offense.
As a Filipino, even though phones are prohibited from my job, we still watched it. Expected gilas to be close. Maybe lose by single digits at the least. But from the first quarter alone we knew that this squad was different. They played with passion (more than usual bc Filipinos play with heart always) and even the coaching staff showed passion. Well deserved win.
We're not done 🇵🇭🔥
What a performance by Gilas Pilipinas, we hope that same and hopefully an improved performance vs Georgia. LABAN PILIPINAS!
Gogo Philippine proud philippine here
Great job boys! Mad respect for the entire Gilas team and coach Tim Cone.
Huge part of the team winning is because of our Coach, unlike before lots of politics and drama happening inside Philippine Basketball
The new head coach of the Philippines really wanted to make a new image for Gilas by changing its playing system. He is now totally enough of previous image of that team due to previous playing style and system. I'm hoping that this victory will be the start of a better Gilas 🇵🇭
IF ONLY COACH TIM CONE WAS GILAS HEAD COACH IN THE 2023 WORLD CUP 😭
Kung sya baka natalo natin Dominican Republic at Italy.
move on na past is past ^^
@@slashybrotheryou can't move on when you know it would have been an automatic Olympic qualification if politics were not involved.
Congrats Gilas Pilipinas for a remarkable win against number 6 seeded Latvia.
Congrats Gilas Pilipinas 🇵🇭
from Norway
As a chinese i love the gilas heart, they don’t quit.. they beat china second time in a big tournament
Well let's be real,this is not that big of a surprise,at least for me.Gilas by strength level is pretty much the same as current Turkey or Italy and those are not the teams you can beat on one leg.I hope Latvia and Philippines will meet again in the final game of qualifiers.Seems pretty possible scenario at the moment
Lol, best philipines player brownlee had 9ppg in eurocup for one year. Only 3,4 from this philipino team could play Eurocup, majority of them not even that
They won a game against a small European team after years, and you are saying they are now at the same level as the top 6-7 teams worldwide. ...Just stay on the ground; they won just a game, and they hope for the future, that's all.
Any news on Zagars?
You have summoned the Pinoys.Get ready to get that 1MIL subs 😂😂
Pinakita ng gilas pilipinas ang susi ng panalo yan ung 40 minutes of agressive & consistent defense to limit ang scoring ng kalaban, kasi ang offense darating yan pag maganda ang depensa ng team.
Pag na maintain ng gilas pilipinas ang magandang depensa pinakita kagabi, malaki ang chance na makuha ang isang slot sa paris olympics.
1 down 3 to go!🇵🇭😎🙏🏻
shocks the world meme actually comes true this time 😂
You know the old saying. "Don't let your memes be dreams"
Ranl 37 vs Rank 6.
The S.E.A era is here baby. Indo pride 🇮🇩
This voice.....
I was wanting to watch for this match but my brother decide to watch greece vs dom so we sleep while the PH plays 😅
Its 3 am when greece plays

BROWNIES MY GOAT 🐐
Brazil lost to Cameroon(68th), and now tell me that BRA and LV didn't fix the games to eliminate 17th Montenegro, and 23th Greorgia. Latvia basketball is back where it was before, fixing matches.
Lol Latvia lost to philippines end of story, you didnt watch the game if you didnt see how frustrated and desperate the latvian coach and players were lol
@@trishislove04 I wish this would be true. Latvia never had worse system, or players then Lithaunia, but Latvia always sucked, because of cocain, match rigging, and gambling. Latvian basketball association has baned such names as legendary Valters son, Briedins who was first drafted in NBA, Kambala, who even was thrown away from NBA for cocain. SInce 1991 independece from Soviets, our Basketball team have been involved in huge scanadals, and even with famous Malaysian gambling syndicate. I was fine losing to Philly, but a soon as i saw Bra losing to complete shit team Cameroon, and knowing how rigged are Brazil sport, just one thing in mind came. And i am sad of it, as old stuff is coming back to Latvian basketball, it means basketball hasnt returned back to Latvia, this is why i am sad.
@@jajaja922 and how is that related to their loss to philippines? They lost because philippines had a better game
@@trishislove04 1. Money, koig for Philly to win was 17.5, put 1m, and you have 17.5m 2. By losing to Phill they took out Georgia who is 23th rank. 3. Bra losing to cameroon, took out monetnegro 17th rank. Basicly BRA and LV rigged their games to give each other in 1/2 shitty teams. I wonder if famous Malaysian syndicate was invovled in this too. If.....IF....BRA and LV steamroll both teams, it was 100% rigged. And as i said, i am very happy Philly won to LV, but if it is match riggind, as Latvian i would be just sad, as old match rigging has came back to Latvia, and basketball will be lost once again.
@@jajaja922 lol just accept the loss instead of coning up with your own theory of delusion 😂
Screaming woman is back
Good decision on a girl commentator. The mouth knows it place
Annoying commentator ! Sorry ! 😢
I would've preferred Josh Bett, honestly.
