Will Prigioni play again in this tourament?
Latest news is that he was feeling a little better and did a light workout with teammates on Friday. They're going to re-asses again tomorrow and he might get some minutes against Nigeria if he feels ok. I guess he'll try to play through it, but the pain might dictate how long he plays.
Tunisia is playing pretty well against France. Parker is doing quite well too.
De Colo has thrown some nice passes but some really ty passes too.

Diaw was in full assist mode
Looks like Argentina might have to play Spain in the quarterfinals.
Nope, Spain will tank their last game to avoid USA in semifinal. Argentina will face Brazil in QF.
So will a lot of their players be injured then?
So it will be:
USA vs. Australia
Brazil vs. Argentina
Russia vs. Lithuania
France vs. Spain
?

They had to be careful on how to tank this game. Some badminton players have been excluded of the Olympics for losing games on purpose.
On the other side, Brazil doesn't have a lot of incentives at winning this game. I'm not sure who they rather play in QF between Argentina and France. They will be too interested in avoiding USA in semifinal.
At the end, it could be a weird game.
Andat Boris not taking a single shot against Tunisia in 31 minutes.
Damn Argentina couldn't afford to lose that game go France they messed up and now they're on usa side of the bracket
Wow what a game! USA beats Lithuania by 5
USA has an horrible coach. They will still likely win the gold because they are so talented but they would be so much better with a decent coach.
Assuming Brazil beats Spain...
(1) USA vs. (4) Australia
(2) Brazil vs. (3) Argentina
(1) Russia vs. (4) Lithuania
(2) France vs. (3) Spain
I'm I missing something here??
Brazil playing China now:

If Great Britain beat Australia today, they should end up 4th and play USA in QF. It's not the most likely scenario but I can see it happened.
One has to feel kinda bad for China. Losing their leader in Yao, and competing valiantly as the host nation in 2008 all the way to this.
At least they qualified, I guess.
Tiago beasting on det weak China front court
Is there any way Argentina can get on the other side of usa on the bracket?
No I don't think they can.
I believe the only spots capable of changing are the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th seeds for Group B (as Bruno alluded to).
Actually I'm wrong. If Argentina can lose today against Nigeria and then lose against USA, while Lithuania wins their next game against Tunisia, I think Arg gets out of the wrong side.
brazil-spain should be a good game.
two teams trying to lose to avoid usa in the SF.
It might be a game to avoid watching. Both teams are gonna be in tank mode. Even if spain just lays down, Brazilian coach magnano will probably instruct his team to do the same.
Nevermind... This isn't possible
it would be sweet though if france beat a tanking Spain.
Is it just me or does Patty look a little heavier?
