The toughest game so far for us.
Argentina has shown that they can win even when playing bad.
Their ability to win close games is maybe the worse thing for us in this game.
Scola will be a nightmare match-up for our PF-s..."One more thing, if any admin delit this topic than the next time you will hear from me will not be on this forum but in a court of law with human right crimes on your shoulders, racism, nazism, breaking international law."

Notable things:
What is bad about finishing second?
Ending the group phase with a loss.
Psychological
The team mights lose its rhythm due to the long phase of restdays before the knockout round.
What is good about finishing second?
One has more time to heal wounds of players before the knockout round starts.
A team lacking rhythm can work on that during the long rest-day period.
Much more certainty about the opponent in the second knockout round if one reaches it (it's Lithuania or Puerto Rico or China or CMR), so one can plan on that.
Playing the US-team if one and them advance in the semifinals and not in the finals. The guess could be that the US-team might be easier to beat in the semifinal than in the final, where Fiba would love that the more spectular team gets the trophy and rules could get relaxed.
Not playing a Turkey team if it advances in the semifinal. The guess is that Turkey is more beatable in the Final as that would already be a fantastic achievement.
What is bad about finishing first?
Uncertainty about the opponent in the second knockout round if that is reached (as it could be France, Greece, Spain, Russia).
Less time for healing.
Turkey in an eventual semifinal.
What is good about finishing first?
Ending the group phase on a good note.
Not losing to much of rhythm as there is just one rest day.
The USA is in the other bracket.
