MADRID Fredy Guarin World Cup Jersey , Sept. 3 (Xinhua) -- The 24 years old Spanish point guard Ricky Rubio became the youngest Spanish player to reach the total of 100 international appearances during his side's 82-63 win against Brazil on Tuesday.
The Catalan made his international debut aged just 17 years old and is now looking forward to doubling that figure.
"It's a lot of games, but you look at other team-mates and they already have 200 appearances. It's a good number to reach, but I hope to make many more," said Rubio in sports paper, Diario AS.
Rubio has the honor of being the youngest basketball player to win an Olympic medal as he was part of the Spain team which took silver in the Beijing Olympic Games in 2008 and says that is still his most memorable appearance to date.
"I have played big and very important games, but I think that the final in Beijing was the most special Frank Fabra World Cup Jersey ," said Rubio.
Meanwhile power forward Pau Gasol explained the form which has turned him into the most in-form player in the FIBA World Cup to date. Gasol has been unstoppable for Spain, showing his power under the ring, scoring points, collecting rebounds and also demonstrating an unexpected effectiveness from three point throws.
"I am a lot fresher this summer and I am seeing the effects of finishing the season in March. That gave me time to prepare and I was looking forward to playing again," he said.
Gasol has now left the LA Lakers to join the Chicago Bulls and admitted that the disappointing form of the Lakers last year was one factor that meant he was sharper for Spain.
"I feel very well supported here and I am enjoying myself on and off the pitch," he added.
Gasol said that the three-point throws he was netting "were not usual" and added that despite a positive start in Group A Felipe Aguilar World Cup Jersey , "the most important thing is what comes later because that is when we have the life or death games."
MEXICO CITY, April 5 (Xinhua) -- Mexico's soccer Hall of Fame will induct Brazilian former players Zico and Ronaldo, as well as Germany's Karl Heinz Rummenigge and Italy's Paolo Rossi, local sports daily Cancha reported on Tuesday.
Other players to be inducted are Mexicans Claudio Suarez, the player with most international matches played for Mexico, and Jared Borgetti Farid Diaz World Cup Jersey , Mexico's top scorer.

Brazilian coach Ricardo "Tuca" Ferretti, current coach for Mexico's Tigres UANL, and Chinese female player Sun Wen, considered one of the best in the history of soccer will also be honored in the Hall of Fame.
Mexico's soccer Hall of Fame was established in 2011 within Pachuca soccer club's sports complex. The award ceremony is usually held in November each year.
The city of Pachuca, in the state of Hidalgo, was chosen to host the soccer Hall of Fame because it is seen as where Mexican soccer was born due to English miners bringing the game over at the end of the 19th century when they arrived in the state for work.
In 2015 Edwin Cardona World Cup Jersey , some of the players and coaches included were Spanish coach Vicente del Bosque, Portugal's Luis Figo, the Netherlands' Ruud Gullit and Argentina's Daniel Passarella.
