I am not sure about a few of these, I think Greece will win for example.
This round requires some arithmetic calculations for final group standings. Group A may have a 3-way tie., but I think any 3rd placed team here would advance.
 
Group of Death Games are must see, only team that's guaranteed to be in the next round is Canada.
 
Superb performance from Giannis in this tournament so far.
 
lets say 3 teams aus/can/gre finishes 1-2

+- is counted only from head to head games or also taking canadas games?

if only head to head Greece is in good situation to make 1/4 (unless tommorow serbia will lose by some miracle to Sudan)


If understand correctly Spain must win vs Canada or they are going home. If Spain wins Australia going home

For Greece NT Serbia vs Sudan game is more important.After this win i dont see how Greece is ending in 4th spot in this group
 
Will Canada remain first even if it loses to Spain?

No Spain would take nr 1 spot if they win over Canada (head to head game as deciding factor)

So basically Spain will finish in 1st or 4th place in group depending on that game result :)

Yes I think Greece is sure to finish 3rd, now they just have to wait for the result of Serbia-South Sudan.
 
That's the way I like it. Win big or go home!

Canada doesn't have many stakes in our game, by the way. Win or lose, they will face the loser of France/Germany or the winner of Serbia/South Sudan in QFs. It's a coin toss and the result of the match against Spain doesn't really matter. The only potential scenario is if France beats Germany and Canada beats Spain by a bigger margin. A very unlikely chance also is Canada beating Spain by 16 points plus the difference between Germany and France. In those two cases Canada would slip into the first pot and avoid USA until the final game. But it's long odds.

Maybe the difference in motivation plays a role in favour of Spain. Or it can be the other way round and the Spaniards fold under the pressure and it's an easy game for Canada. Who knows?

Not sure about this, if Canada beats Spain close by like 1 or 2 I think they finish above Greece on PD in a three way tie.
 
Puh maybe at the end it was enough margin.

Didn't beat the point differential of Brazil by one point. If you end up third, it all depends on South Sudan. If they manage to beat Serbia, you're out.

No this does not apply anymore as Greece won with more points than 3. If Canada beats Spain by a single point, then Canada’s results are not to be taken in consideration. It’s a three way tie.
Australia is +6
Greece is -1
Spain is -5

It’s really the group of death.
