France eliminated from the World Cup; Latvia, Germany, Montenegro, Montenegro, Canada, Lithuania advanced to the second round.

France came to the World Cup with the goal of winning gold. However, it won't even make it to the second round, which is an absolutely stunning development for the reigning Olympic silver medalists.

Latvia got 22 points from Arturs Zagars and shocked France 88-86 in Sunday's Group H game in Jakarta, Indonesia. The result took Latvia and Canada into the second round and also means France, which has won bronze at the last two World Cups, cannot place higher than 17th this year.

"We let a lot of people down, above all ourselves," France forward Nicolas Batiem said. Rolands Smits scored 20 points and Davis Bertans had 15 points as Latvia was able to tie the game after falling behind by 13 points.

It took the lead for the first time with 37.7 seconds left in the game and held on when Sylvain Francisco missed a three-pointer in the final seconds.

"Congratulations to Latvia," Batyum said. "They deserved it. They deserved it." Evan Fournier scored 27 points for France, which lost to Canada in its opener. Momentum switched midway through the fourth quarter when French playmaker Nando de Colo was suspended after a second unsportsmanlike foul.

Latvia and Canada will play for first place in Group H on Tuesday.
