Winner of Spain-Poland.

Argentina up 4 against Serbia with under 7 minutes left in the 4th. Everyone is dangerous.

Spain will sadly be too tough although I'd love to be wrong. Let's hope for a Poland miracle tonight for an even easier path after Czechia. Dreaming I know.

Argentina blowing out Serbia. Wow.

Argentina look like they will win this. Now up 11 with 3 minutes remains. Argentina looks more aggressive, Serbia seem shocked. It also helps when you are converting 3s at nearly 50% while the opposition is at 30%.

This is a huge upset.

Aaaaaaaand just when you think it's over.....

Argentina 6-0

It was tough to rate Argentina since their path included wins over relatively weaker opponents: Nigeria, Korea, Russia, Venezuela, Poland. But Serbia is a huge scalp.

Predictions on tougher/easier oponenets at this stage of events is risky, to say the least.

Look no further than our own results, Against Canada we were the underdogs, Senegal were better than expected, then finish our pool with a win over powerhouse, Lithuania. Dom Rep went to script then we account for the world no3 team, France.

And just now, watched Arg beat Serbia.

If Poland does beat Spain, then I'm very worried. At least, we know what to expect with Spain!

robt we were short priced favourites against Canada.

I'm going to be so upset if USA win this tournament.

It's the best opportunity ever for another team to win it - I don't think you'll ever see a USA team as weak as this in future (in saying that though they are obviously still very good). Can't see them reverting back to college players anytime soon.

France could pull it off tonight. Fingers crossed.

Really impressed with Argentina. Great passing and transition work. Some "very solid plays". Good for the tournament that they progressed IMO. I dont mind seeing serbia go down. Aside from Bogdanovich, who has been outstanding, serbia play a ugly game centred around the strength of their bigs. Their game reminded me of the old USSR teams of the 70s and 80s.

Massive upset.

Hoping this wakes Australia up we can't coast on our reputation vs Czech Rep

Luis Scola still got it

Need France to win tonight so the US don't medal.

Very possible France wins i think

France no chance in hell. Can't even beat a team that is half full of NBL trash and has an imcompetent coach.

If France and us win today would set up an awesome final rounds.

USA have definitely not clicked offensively. With Rudy Gobert there as well, could definitely happen.

Fournier needs to keep balling out. And DeColo should start.

Don't know if De Colo needs to start.

Dynamite off the bench and Albicy makes things happen. Absolute bulldog

With Gobert there? He's the reason we beat them.

USA shoot the most 3s out of all teams, but they are shooting it just 33%. This makes USA capable of blowing out leads if they start connecting at a good clip, but also makes them vulnerable with a poor shooting night. Hopefully France have a good game plan for their next game.

The USA form has picked up since near defeat vs turkey. Interesting video details the defensive frailities of the us exposed in turkey game https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nl3UX0YKR-8

The Czechs are a real danger for us. Each time we have an awesome win, they don't really show up the following game.

Warm-ups
Canada 1st time - ordinary
Canada 2ndtime - clinical
USA 1st time - acceptable
USA 2nd time - insane
Germany - disappointing

Tourney
Canada - awesome
Senegal - lucky
Lithuania - inspirational
Dominican Republic - passmark (just)
French - legends
Czechs Republic - ??????

They need to come to play tonight!!!!

The French up by 6 at the half.

Perfect second half start by France.

Mitchell on fire.

Mitchell vs Fournier now

USA living and dying by the 3. When shooting 26%, they were down 9. Then hit a few, up to 40%, and leading.

If France grabbed some defensive rebounds and they also be winning lol

They would be winning*

Good game

Need someone to matchup vs Gobert

What an entree.

Feel the same. These are guys prepared to put it on the line for their country while the stars sit at home. Then they are ridiculed if they lose.

Vive la France!

Can't blame Pop for some of the dumb stuff they did

Usa crumbled so badly

And what was Pop thinking!! Gobert absolutely dominated that game. Try putting someone on him whos taller than 6'7.....

Damn

Bogut needs to stay out of foul trouble and gobble up some minutes

Baynes need some rest
