Team USA arrived safely in Uruguay. The staff had an onboard nutritionist and cook for the duration of the tourney.

Maximo Fjellerup? Danish-Argentine?

Don´t really know. I'll ask him. Maybe his father or grand father are Danish.

Puerto Rico beats sub18 Obras Sanitarias (Argentina club) 62 53

Is the gym really as dark as it looks on the live stream?

[JGX]

USA leading Mexico 68-16 at halftime. Mexico is 3-32 from the field with 18 turnovers. Hard to draw any conclusions from such a physical mismatch.

Argentina sort of struggled against the Bahamas earlier. The final score was 74-53 but it was 58-52 with four minutes left.

[CKR13]

What a win by USA. Next up is Argentina.

[JGX]

US beat Mexico 130-31. Not much to say about that, other than it is not the record margin of victory for this tournament, since Argentina beat Costa Rica 130-28 two years ago,

Chile beat Uruguay 64-62 on a tough shot by Sebastian Herrera with 4.4 seconds left after Uruguay had rallied from a 61-55 deficit. I guess that's it for Uruguay's best chance of qualifying for a world event in a long time.

Canada beat Puerto Rico 76-63. Video stream had fallen about a quarter behind by the time this games started.

[carlo]

Just watched the 1st half of USA-Mex and was amazed by #14 (Rabb) for his smooth power, but the disparity was too great. Anyway I think the final score was the highest in the short history of USA U16 official games.
Big upset of the day, Chile winning over Uruguay.

[JGX]

Combined free throw shooting on the first day was 92/186 (.494)
