I hope Russia will be at the Olympics

I think that is very unlikely. I would say Serbia and Spain qualify here and then at the world qualifier 4 additional european teams (in my opinion 4 out of France, Greece, Lithuania, Germany, Croatia, Turkey, Italy and Latvia) will hopefully qualify. I think the world cup is the best chance for Italy to qualify for the olympics, they "only" have to beat Spain and then they have to win the 3rd place match or hope that Australia and the US make it to the semifinal.

I hope it will be France who qualifies at this World Cup

Dont forget Slovenia. They are good team, when Doncic,Dragic and Randolf play, they are even great.

Congrats to the Serbian fans.  That was a powerful performance.  I truly believe that Serbia is going to win the whole thing.

Ok, summing up the fight for african and asian quotas....

 

Africa

 

Tunisia can qualify if a) they beat Angola and Nigeria loses to China OR b) in the case they both win or both lose, if they can have a better result than Nigeria to cut the big point difference between them  (NGR +41, TUN -11). 

If neither thing happens, Nigeria will qualify.

 

Asia 

 

Iran can qualify only if they beat Philippines and China loses to Nigeria AND they cut the PD with China (CHN +3, IRI -13 currently). For example, if China loses by 1, Iran has to win by 15.

If one of the two doesn't happen, China will qualify.

 

[LDOG 2,418]

My prediction is that Nigeria and Iran will qualify. Nigeria is simply better than China and although Iran is not very consistent Philippines is the absolute worst team of this competition so far.

I thought that Spain will destroy Italy 

The difference is very small ,This is match of football not basket

Spain hasn't been convincing in this entire World Cup, they might get destroyed against Serbia.
