Olympics - Gameday 3

[Dtown]

Canada have beaten Spain, I think this is the earliest the Spaniards have gone out since the 2000 games.

Someone told me that Serbia will avoid USA in the quarter final if they loose against South Sudan. Is this correct?

[Darrell Armstrong]

Not bad, we competed but couldn't overcome another very bad showing of Brown. Hopefully we can reload and keep playing at a high level in the next Olympic cycle.

Yes. Finishing third they will play QFs against one of the best first place finishers. One will be USA, so that matchup is not possible. And each of the top teams is placed on opposing sides of the bracket.

Thats a pitty. Greece should have made the last shot.

I don't believe that Setbia will risk a game vs Germany or France in the QFs. It is not like they are so good that 2nd place is guaranteed.

[Toruko]

Why did Scariolo take the timeout before the free throws? Does not make any sense to me.

Because he is an idiot.

Relax, fixing results is not in our blood. Especially when it comes to basketball. However, it could be an interesting game vs South Sudan

They removed a kidney from Simanic last year, I'm afraid of any possible injuries, they play physical but really reckless. Especially im such important game.

[Serbian_Layup]

You know how bad France is when Yabusele is your main creator and scorer.

Is Wemby going to score something from the paint or taking step back threes is all he can do on offense? Time to slow down on that hype around him. Super talented but not ready to play winning basketball yet.

I think I’m about to puke every time I watch a French nt game ever since 2022

Is this correct, if we win against S Sudan we will, potentially, be playing with USA in the semifinal?
Considering we are in the same group with them, shouldn't we be in the other side of the draw?

They did all they could to make a science out of draw. Everything will be clear tomorrow night after Serbia-South Sudan game, they will do another draw for playoff teams if I understood it correctly.

How it looks now before draw situation will look like this:


pot 1 Usa,Canada,Germany,Serbia

pot 2 Australia,France,Greece,Brasil


i think all 4 teams from pot 1 would be favourites in their 1/4 game doesnt matter who they gonna play from pot 2

[Toruko]

Lol won 700 Euros today. Thanks to Greece, Canada and Germany!

2200 Euros since the start of the Olympic tournament

There will be 4 pots.

Pot 1: USA, Germany (they can't meet before finals)
Pot 2: Canada, Serbia (if they beat South Sudan)
Pot 3: Australia, France
Pot 4: Greece (if Serbia beats South Sudan), Brazil

If USA, Germany, Canada and Serbia all advance to 1/2, it's 50% chance that USA and Germany will play either Serbia or Canada in 1/2. I guess that will be known after draw tomorrow.
