It is never nice for a team to forfeit a game. It happens quite regularly in local competitions that I am involved with. But when it is an internationa team at a World Championships, I think it is newsworth. Check out this article from News.com.au.
Lithuania had to forfeit to the Australian Opals because they could not arrive at the venue on time for their game. A flight cancellation meant that the Lithuania's had to travel through a different country to reach Brazil, which required them to receive yellow fever shots before they left. They obviously did not have enough time. Do you reckon their manager will get the sack?
