You mean because of 1954? More recently the hungarian team has usually been better than the sum of it parts and has often managed not to lose against teams that were much better on paper.

Ya, because it's maybe the most famous upset in International football history (certainly the biggest upset in a World Cup final).

No, if beats by exactly seven points and scores at least 73 points then is out.

 

(I have no confidence my math / understanding of the rules is correct)

This crowd is fantastic.

 

Their team is really struggling, but there is still somewhat of a chance.

If you are at this point I think you want to find a way to get this game to OT.

 

(Incidentally, "smallest number of OT periods in wins" should be the first tie breaking criteria after head to head)

No wins again. But as I never expect anything good from Brazilian basketball, especially women's basketball, this was totally expected. 

 

We really didn't deserve it this time, but we're getting better, so who knows, Los Angeles?

It was indeed a very hard battle between and and in some cases it was too hard.

In any case, I'm happy that this young German team actually made it to Paris.

I am also counting on the German footballers. I hope you beat us
