It will be hard to overtake Spain. Points come off every 8 years, so they're 2006 WC will stand until 2014:(
But in 2012 we might pass Argentina as their 2004 Olympic gold will be subtracted from their rank.
We are going to need to do really good in all our upcoming tourneys, especially at next year's WC. We weren't in it in 2002, so this would be a great chance to gain points.

Will the Greek FIBA ranking drop after London? It sucks because our 2002-2003 period wasn't great so we could've gained many points in 2010-11 but failed to do so. Most of the teams ranked below us either failed to qualify for London or did worse than they did in 2004. I guess we will be somewhere between 3 and 5 right?
