Can anyone do the calculations and tell me what :CAN needs to do to avoid :USA in their half? :p
 

Or is there no chance?

There will be a draw but at least with 1st place in pool Canada avoids USA in QF

You mean all the way until the final?

 

USA will be #1 seed for sure so, Canada has to be #2. That means beating Spain and finishing the group stage with a better PD than that of the winner in Germany v France. 

 

If Canada doesn't achieve this it'll go down to luck of draw, 50/50.

The only way to avoid USA till the final is to become the #2 seed.  USA is all but a lock to be #1 seed.  Canada is 2-0 in Group A.  Both France and Germany are 2-0 in Group B and will be playing each other so one of them is sure to finish 3-0.  That means Canada must at least beat Spain to finish 3-0. Lose to Spain and its pure luck of draw.  Now if you finish 3-0 as either Germany or France will it goes to point differential. There is the problem.  Canada is currently +17. Germany is +33 while France is +16.  If Germany wins it would mean you would have to beat Spain by at least 16 more points then Germany defeats France. So for example if Germany won by 1 Canada would have to win by 17.  If Germany won by 5 Canada would have to win by 21. If Germany won by 10 Canada would have to win by 26.  Frankly highly unlikely to become 2nd seed if Germany beats France.  However if France were to beat Germany Canada currently has a 1 point advantage.  So beating Spain by the same or more then France wins by gets Canada the 2nd seed.

To those that answered my question who will be the other 4 teams to make the quarterfinals i also agree with you Australia, Spain Serbia & South Sudan...   Agree on the difficult road for the Brazil- Japan winner given current point differential.  However kind of surprised nobody thinks Greece will make it.

It will be very difficult, Spain was beatable in my opinion. Let's see what happens against Australia. We lost both games by 7 points so far which I think helps us if we can win tomorrow.

 

Not having Sloukas at this tournament really shows, our guards have not been at their best and we have a lack of depth at that position. Though I'm happy Toliopoulos has improved a lot and stepped up, a year ago I never would've imagined him in the national team. He was good for our youth teams and then totally fell off, now he had a great club season and is showing he belongs on the national team.

Very interesting day tomorrow.

 

First Japan vs Brazil in a elimination game. Japan trails South Sudan by 18 points Brazil trails South Sudan by 19 differential points. A double digit win by either team could put real pressure on South Sudan.

 

Next Australia vs Greece.  Must win for Greece or its pack your bags.

 

 

Next Canada vs Spain.  If Greece has won then its a must win for Spain or pack your bags. If Greece has lost Spain then just needs to avoid being blown out by Canada so that Japan or Brazil don't pass them. For Canada either way a win is a shot at Number 2 seed

 

Next France vs Germany. Likely for the number two seed although if France wins it would come down to differential

with Canada provided Canada won earlier.

Unbelievable day. First Brazil leads by only 4 entering 4th quarter against Japan. Simply not good enough. Brazil then goes on terror to win by 18 points. Japan is out That puts Brazil points at -7 much better then the -26 they started with. Then Australia looks horrible. Trailing by 19 in 3rd quarter to Greece who must win... Looks like bye bye Australia... Then Australia rally to lose by only 6..Greece clinches 3rd place but are -8 one point worst then Brazil !  Brazil clinches berth. Then Spain either finishes 1st knocking out Australia or is eliminated themselves. Canada wins by 3 sending Spain packing.  Next Germany and France battle for 2nd seed but if France wins by 4 or less then Canada gets the #2 seed.  Tomorrow USA simply has to beat Puerto Rico to clinch #1 seed. Then the battle for the last spot. Serbia is +15. South Sudan is -6. Greece is -8... If South Sudan wins or loses to Serbia by only 2 points its bye bye Greece, If they lose by more then 2 its bye bye South Sudan

    • We don’t even have a broadcaster or streaming platform for the games ! IOC couldn’t get any deal for the Indian viewers and we can’t watch this games live ! 
    • 2028 Team Size Projection – Jan 2026 Update   Here’s an update to my 2028 Team Size Projection. While I touch upon major events changes may occur due to results in smaller events. Additionally, several sports released their qualification document so there may be cases where I have to update the projection. I will only include sports where there is an update.   Here is the link to the updated sheet.     Aquatics (Water Polo) The Men’s European Championships saw take gold. The victory moved Serbia up a few places between European nations. With that said, no one fell out of Olympic qualification with the likes of France and Romania still on the outside looking in. remains on the edge.   Athletics (Marathon) Both the Xiamen and Osaka marathons were held this month along with a few other smaller events. While there were a few changes in the rankings, in terms of Olympic projections gains an athlete in the men’s marathon at the expense of   Badminton Major tournaments include the Malaysia Open and India Open. New updates which affected projections include the women’s doubles where overtook . As Polina Buhrova is also scheduled to compete in the singles event, an additional spot has been open. Other changes in the women’s singles was loses one of their quotas. and benefit from those losses.   Indonesia’s loss on the women’s side is offset by gaining a second player in the men’s singles. This puts   on the outside.   Canoeing The qualification document for both Slalom and Sprint were released/updated. No significant changes were found in the Sprint update. Slalom had significant changes relative to 2024 where the initial quotas will be decided by rankings and kayak cross will now have significant quotas being allocated. After adjustment, the following nations lost a quota; Andorra, Chinese Taipei, Ireland, New Zealand, North Macedonia, Slovakia, and Sweden. The following nations gained a quota; Canada, China, France, Italy, South Africa, Spain, and Tunisia.   Cricket The Women’s T20 World Cup Qualifier was held. No changes to the projection.   Equestrian (Dressage & Jumping) Various World Cup events were held. No changes to the projections were made.   Fencing We had two Grand Prix this month, one for epee and the other for sabre. In men’s epee, overtakes . On the women’s side, the United States moved into the top 4 in the team ranking, pushing Estonia down to fifth. This pushed out of Olympic qualification while takes the Americas quota. This caused a downstream effect on the individual side as Ukraine takes an individual quota and Canada relinquishes their quota, additionally, gained a quota while lost one.   In men’s sabre, now takes the Asian team quota pushing down to just an individual quota. No changes were found in women’s sabre.   Handball Four men’s continental championships were held this month. finished top in Africa while a couple of upsets were saw in South America and Asia where and won over and respectively. Despite their wins, they currently haven’t leapfrogged into being projected to qualify. We’ll see how they perform at the World Championships.   Europe saw finish fourth. This was enough to push it into Olympic qualification projection. They pushed out.   Rowing The qualification document was released. There was a change in boat allocation relative to 2024 and the continental qualifier was slightly different than what I projected. Additionally, I assumed coastal rowing would allow 2 men and 2 women to compete in its three events, but the max is 1 man and 1 woman. This has caused significant changes to the projections.   Overall, the United States lost four quotas. Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Lithuania, New Zealand, Norway, and Spain lost two quotas and Algeria, Argentina, Croatia, Cuba, Egypt, Kazakhstan, Netherlands, Portugal, Tunisia lost one quota.   The following nations have gained two athletes; Japan, Morocco while the following nations gained one athlete; Angola, Austria, Belgium, Chile, Chinese Taipei, Cote d’Ivoire, Denmark, Estonia, Kuwait, Latvia, Mexico, Romania, Philippines, Paraguay, Puerto Rico, South Africa, South Korea, Switzerland, Togo, Uzbekistan, Vanuatu   Rugby Sevens Fixing a couple of mistakes. First on the men, actually has the Asian quota over and in the women as is essentially shutting down the program, I think it is only right to remove them until they decide to compete again. This means is also projected to qualify.   As for new updates, we saw the third tier SVNS compete, which brought no new updates and the Singapore SVNS. I also didn’t add the Dubai or Cape Town SVNS in my calculations. For both, while there was some shuffling no one ultimately fell out.   Shooting The Asian Shotgun Championships were held this month. A few top shooters were missing. The only change to the projection is is set to qualify in women’s trap, pushing out   Squash The Tournament of Champions was held this month. Additionally, the qualification document was released. There was some restriction as to how many nations can send two players and this sport will offer universality quotas.   The following nations lost an athlete quota; Colombia, France, Great Britain, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and New Zealand. The following nations gained an athlete quota; Canada, Pakistan, Spain (x2), Switzerland, Ukraine   Triathlon The qualification document was released. There are a few changes relative to 2024. Projection changes include: Losses to Hong Kong and Slovenia and gains for Austria and China.   Weightlifting The qualification document was released. One change to be made was the reallocation process for host nation quotas. Due to this, El Salvador Iraq, Palau, Sri Lanka, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu lost quotas while Australia, China, Dominican Republic, Iran, and Samoa (x2) gained quotas.   Wrestling The qualification document was released. There were some significant changes to the qualification process including using the world rankings and the final qualifier only consisting of non-qualified nations. The projection changes are as follows; losses to Belarus, Bulgaria, China, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Russia, South Korea, Sweden, and Turkey.   Belgium and Lithuania gained 2 quotas while American Samoa, Austria, Estonia, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Latvia, Madagascar, Spain, and Turkmenistan gained 1 quota.
    • Looks like we in the Philippines are in the same situation. No news yet on whether we’ll be able to watch the Games 
    • Cricket is any day in a better position than Baseball, Modern Pentathlon or Rowing 8s globally
    • http://i.imgur.com/gLJZbix.jpg   Honestly football is just on another level. For other sports, an expanded field or creating multiple host cities likely only works with baseball, cricket and maybe basketball, and only in very specific countries.
    • No streaming for the games in India. I contacted IOC they just sent me a list where the games will be shown live.    Last games we had the Olympic channel and YouTube showing the live coverage for regions with no media rights. This time sadly no such schedule.   So much about making the games accessible to all...
    • What revealed those files of Epstein !!!! thousands of scandals , horrible diguisting things mixing politic criminalities , robbery , scam , manipulation...etc    all those celebrities of shht that you love   
    • I wonder if instead of having flexibility around what sport to add there should be one or two team sports per game with an expanded field (of 16 or 32 or w/e) where the host gets to pick which which team sports (if any) has an expanded field.
