Hungary has to decide this match before the final quarter, I can see Spain ramping up the pace for the end of the match.

Benolympique 1,759 Posted February 11 #136 Share Posted February 11 I find it dishonest, we cannot deprive a country of not qualifying just because it is a candidate for Olympic medals. Josh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course they can, this happens regularly in volleyball, football and countless other sports. Anything that isn't single elimination brings opportunities for future bracket tampering.

Yeah. I think this is less about Spain throwing and more about them not risking injury and not being 100% into it while Hungary is playing for their life and they are also playing on a very high level (for now). There's no reason for Spain to take this match anywhere near as seriously as Hungary does. I think the fact that we are the only team that beat Japan here should be enough of a justification for our quota if we win it.
