OlympicsFan 792 Posted August 28, 2023 #301 Share Posted August 28, 2023 (edited) Really unbalanced draw. Germany will probably have to beat Spain or Canada to make the semifinal. Those 3 look like the strongest teams behind the US. Right now i would favor Spain and Canada to make the semifinal from that half. Germany, Spain, Canada and Australia might all be better than the 2nd best team (probably Serbia) in the other half. Germany vs. Spain might turn into the decider for the 2nd olympic spot. Sadly Germany has a very poor track record against Spain and avoiding them would mean Canada as an opponent (which isn't a better option).

Federer91 2,285 Posted August 28, 2023 #302 Share Posted August 28, 2023 I thought the USofA were with their C team or something at this World Cup? Doesn't look like much hurdle so far. Josh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Angola makes the second round then they will very likely get the quota, the other African nations would need large upset wins to qualify.

Fly_like_a_don 1,051 Posted August 28, 2023 #304 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Is it just me who is reminded of the holy ciborium (the vessel used for keeping the Eucharist) seeing the logo. Feels like it's a church event rather than a sports event! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This whole qualification system is just very unfair in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siakam + Embiid should be enough. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.
