Two champions of their continents facing off. US is missing its good players, while Angola has its star Cipriano. However, US has better momentum, as it has won its final game (although against non-qualifier), while Angola has lost to Australia (but resting Cipriano). Angola has much more international experience, while US is young, cocky and doesn't know its opponents. US still has solid streetball talent, however.
 
I have not seen one game for Angola this time around, since the African Qual.

I hope we can win, I think our chances are high, but then again this tourny is so unpredictable.

One good thing about playing the US is scouts always look at the standout players in the opposition team so let's see if some Angolans shine. :)
 
Curiously, Angola in 2008 Olympics had its best result against USA 'Redeem Team', losing 76-97. I hope then can repeat this result and even cut the difference to 10/15 points...
