What happened to Brazil's women's team? On the other hand it looks like Argentina may be the top South American team on the women's side. Defeating Spain, China and South Africa was unlikely up until this year

Puerto Rico won that match, it's why they qualified.

are the champions

One out remaining

Entering the 9th, will it be decided here or are we going to extra innings?

United States ties it 2-2

Yup 162 matches over 195 days during the regular season. 7 matches over 13 days is nothing to these players

Also the state of women's basketball in our continent outside of the United States is horrible. Puerto Rico may be the only other nation qualifying and that's because they are in a very easy group

They could also host a 5 team tournament among the already qualified nations.

Canada now needs Turkey to defeat Hungary in order to qualify

They may have to put Russia in the Calgary group to avoid any political issue in Czechia. A group with Canada, Russia and the United States would be deadly. I'd feel sorry for the 4th team

Going to be an exciting final. Fans will be electrifying.

Don't Europeans get like 4-6 weeks off?

One step closer to a 3 week Olympics. Just need to move the opening ceremony

Honestly a little less exciting. But if the match is close, the drama will be there.

Here's my deep look for Group C. is already guaranteed to finish in the top 4 and will compete in the World Cup, all other teams have a chance. Here's what the final matches look like: v v v If Canada defeats Australia they will qualify to the World Cup. Likewise, the winner of Turkey and Hungary will qualify to the World Cup. Here's what is needed for them to qualify to the World Cup if they lose their match. - Either Turkey defeats Hungary or Argentina defeats Japan - Either Japan defeats Argentina or Australia defeats Canada - Either Canada defeats Australia or Argentina defeats Japan For Japan and Argentina they must not only win their match, but also require the following results. - Australia defeats Canada - Canada defeats Australia and Hungary defeats Turkey Here's a chart: Winners Qualify to World Cup Scenario Counts Australia - 8/8 Canada - 7/8 Hungary - 7/8 Turkey - 7/8 Japan - 2/8 Argentina - 1/8

Here's a deep look for Group A in terms of qualification to the World Cup. and have already qualified while is eliminated. If or defeat or respectively they will qualify to the World Cup. If looses then they need either to win or to loose. If looses then they need either to loose or to loose. For to qualify they need to defeat and to loose.

Canada lost to Japan 66-62. now needs to defeat themselves or either > or >

One day the IOC will allow 12-team tournaments for invited sports and then Canada will have a much better chance at making it.

Congrats Both semifinal matches will be exciting to watch.

Venezuela still looked like the second strongest eligible Pan American team. I mean they are still within striking distance of Japan and can still qualify ahead of us. Canada did well to win Group A, but I wouldn't expect them to defeat the Dominican Republic or Venezuela in a head to head match.

What a dumb qualification method. Literally the final four teams went up against opponents which could not qualify.

While I still want Canada to qualify, I wouldn't be too upset if Venezuela got the spot. IMO they've been the second best Pan American nation behind the Dominican Republic. Unfortunately they got Japan. Though given their play, the match is still in play.

I think Canada has that tiebreaker in all cases where Italy wins with only 8 runs.
