Close game between :SRB Serbia and Italy :ITA, just a 2-point lead for ITA with less than 5 minutes remaining in the game

 

ITA escapes with a close win, 78-76

 

 

it's clear that right now we own them mentally

 

I don't know how this team could comeback from -16 late in the 3rd quarter and beat :SRB for the 3rd time in a row when it really matters

 

Fontecchio (and partially Datome) just pulled out a miracle (despite that clown on the bench)

Spain in troubles, I think they have very little chances against Canada 

I think that Latvia and Canada will win against Brasilia, so they will have to win against Canada to rech to quarterfinal.

After the surprising loss of Spain it could be Latvia as well in the quarterfinals.

Absolutely shocking result, especially without Porzingis. Obviously Spain hasn't their most talented team ever, but i still thought that they would win this by 10 points or so. Now Spain probably has to beat Canada to advance, which seems rather unlikely.

Would be crazy if Italy and Latvia would get the 2 european spots here ...

Serbia, Spain, Greece, Lithuania, Germany and Slovenia would have to compete for the remaining spots next year.

I think one European quota will be taken by Slovenia, the other difficult to say but 

someone among Serbia, Lithuania Greece or Italy. Unless Dom Rep manages to qualify to the Semis and honestly I think they have a chance against LTU/GRE. that would open chances for Germany.

I just did some math on the Italy/Serbia/Dominican Republic group.
Let's assume that Domincan Republic and italy will win their games against Puerto Rico.

 

Then there are two possible outcomes:

 

1) Serbia looses against Dominican Republic

-> 1st place in group I goes to Domincan Republic

-> 2nd place in group I goes to Italy (and will potentially face USA in the QF)

 

2) Serbia wins against Dominican Republic

-> Serbia/Italy/Dominican Republic are tied 

-> next criteria is the difference in baskets for the matches between the teams with the same number of points 

-> Italy is already fixed at 160-163 = -3

-> Domincan Republic is currently at +5

-> Serbia is at -2

=> It is not possible for Italy to finish in 1st place (and avoid USA in the QF). It is possible that Italy will finish in 3rd place (if Seribia wins with less than 8 points).

It seems right now as Slovenia leads against Australia that the crucial game will be between Slovenia /Germany. 
the winner could face Latvia (or Spain) in 1/4. I believe Slovenia will win both unless Spain recovers somehow, then it is a 50% -50%. 
Canada is the best team in the bottom part of the draw. 
 

In the upper part Lithuania seems in trouble as of now, but still enough time to catch Greece.

I think that you have to reach the semi finals for the European quota.


With near certainty there will be a European match in the QF between group K and L and as long as Dominican Republic is not winning group I there will be another European match (1st group I vs. 2nd group J).

I think only Canada can prevent three European teams in the semi finals.

    • 4-3  over  at the break, Norway with hammer.
    • whatever you heard is just speculation. no one knows at the moment, probably even the orange himself.   and Iranian athletes failed to get visa so many times before. even female athletes. there is no pattern, it's just too random.    and yes Iran has a system of compulsory military service for men, and there is 50% chance for anybody to be randomly drafted by IRGC affiliated organizations. that's the case for Taremi and few others in the current team.  
    • Would you believe the NCAA Indoor season has already started?      
    • Some changes that I've noticed:   3x3 Basketball: With the expanded 12 team field, one extra team per gender qualifies through world rankings, one extra team qualifies through the universality driven tournament and there's now an Olympic Qualifier series to award the final quotas.   Beach Volleyball: Continental qualifiers have have priority over the World championship and World Rankings quotas and there's now Olympic Qualifier Series quotas.   Canoe Sprint: World ranking system now in place and will be used instead of awarding world championship quotas. Road Cycling: 2 nations ranking quotas per gender moved to universality.   Track Cycling: Sprint and Keirin ranking list is now combined and will award 14 quotas per gender. Previously it was 7+7. Team pursuit down to 8 quotas from 10. 2 of the quotas have been moved to madison (one additional team) and 6 to the omnium.   Fencing: Can get a Continental quota of you finished in the top 24 of the rankings. It was previously top 16.    Hockey: 2 pro league quotas replace two qualification tournament quotas.   Judo: 5 less universality places and 4 more Continental places. For men, there's two more spots for Asia, one less for Oceania and 1 more for the Americas. For the women, there's one more spot for Europe, one less for Oceania and two more for Asia.   Modern Pentathlon: Less quotas awarded through world rankings as a result of quota cuts.   Open Water Swimming: Introduction of world ranking qualifier.   Sailing: In general, seems to be more quotas awarded at the last chance regatta and less quotas at the World Championships   Shooting: One less quota handed out at each World Championship and the return on World Cup qualifiers.   Swimming: Olympic qualification and consideration times renamed to A and B standard. B standard is now 1% slower than the A standard compared to 0.5% in 2024. Stroke 50s have their own direct qualification events and have minimum time standards instead of A and B standards. Qualification times have been nuked again. B standard selection process has also changed.   Volleyball: New revised format. Continental championships first, then world championships followed by world rankings. In 2024, it was 3 qualification tournaments and then world rankings. Only 3 countries per gender will qualify by world rankings now compared to 5 in 2024
    • For Italy, the match against Japan and likely the final match against Estonia will be a safe/relegation game, but I'm think that whether the match against Estonia will be decisive on anything, if we have 0 points after 4 matches. We're currently the worst team here – we have 0 points and are taking significantly fewer shots than our opponents in each match. Japan and Estonia are looking better for now and unfortunately, without significant improvement play starting tomorrow, we'll likely be relegated to the fourth division. With the absence of Russia and Belarus, this will be a shame, even for the weaker 2006/2007 age generation. Especially, since we are playing this tournament at home. For anyone could have competed with a good shape, except perhaps Hungary, who are currently the best team in the tournament.
    • They shouldn't promise additional spots to countries that qualify 3 athletes in each distance, because then taking those spots away isn't fair. For example, in Italy, Previtali won the 500m QO for country but he would likely have to stay at home because the staff probably would have chosen Casinelli for the relay (Casinelli won't be competing individually at all). I don't know what the situation is in Canada with the fifth-place skater? Will this person only compete in the relay, or will he also be a reserve there? 
    • That's too bad. Athletes who finish in the top 32 (or 36 for the 1590m) should be the priority over the 5th athlete from a relay country.   So Croatia loses their 2nd women's quota, Hong Kong loses their only women's quota and Poland loses their 3rd women's quota.   This means that Great Britain, Slovakia and Ukraine should fill up the rest of the 1500m field since they are the highest placed reserves that doesn't require an additional quota.    
    • Philip Rivers' possible return to NFL while being a semifinalist for the Hall of Fame certainly wasn't on my bingo card. But well. So far he's only on the practice squad
