Olympic Brackets/Predictions

Quarter Finals
1) Brazil v Argentina
2) Australia v USA (Thurs 7:15am East coast time)

3) France v Spain
4) Russia v Lithuania

Winners of 1&2 play in Semi-final 1.
Winners of 3&4 in semi-final 2

Here's my picks
1) Argentina
2) USA (boo!)

3) France (let's face it, Spain look broken)
4) Russia

Then USA and ....hmmmm France? (wishful thinking?)

Then
Gold = USA
Silver = France
Bronze = Argentina
4th = Russia

A few games seem like a bit of a coin toss. Should make for a very interesting few days.

Any quarter final except unfortunately Australia v USA could go either way really. As you say, flip a coin....

I agree with most of your predictions but AUS will probably win

I love that fact that there are some long-standing rivalries there between next-door neighbours.

Argentina-Brazil - give it to Brazil as they look fresher, younger and hungrier
France-Spain - France, same reason
Russia-Lithuania - Russia, same
USA-Oz - I'd be happy with any result better than losing by 10 or more

USA to beat France in the final.
Brazil to beat Russia for 3rd.

Before the tournament I tipped USA, Spain, Russia, Argentina in that order (then Brazil, France, Nigeria, Australia - bloody Nigerians!!) so Im going to stick with that.
