    Wow, I think USA will win but I sure wouldn't bet on them with those odds. Argentina at 11-2 is a worthwhile bet.

    USA are 1st favourite, however 2/7 is overrated.

    7/1 for Serbia is overrated also. They will be happy if they make to 2nd round.

    Greece and France have very interesting odds... a little underrated to me.

    Yep, I would say even money. They are not playing in NYC afterall...there will be questionable calls, and they will not be the fan favorite. France at 20 to 1 looks like the best bet on the board to me.

    i'm not sure about being fan favourite - they'll probably have more fans there then other teams (besides Japan).

    2/7 not compelling odds from a betting perspective. Aside from that this is the year the U.S. " SLAPS" the rest of the world. Bring back basketball dominance to the States.

    USA should be the favourites, but 2/7 is a ty bet.

    More reasonable would be something like:

    USA 1/1
    Arg 4/1
    Spain 5/1
    Lithuania 8/1
    Brazil 10/1
    France 13/1
    Greece 17/1
    Italy 20/1
    Germany 25/1
    S&M 30/1

    With the current odds, I would put money on France, Argentina, and Spain. USA and S&M are for suckers only.

    I don't know about those odds, but I'm almost sure the US is going to win this one. I still have hopes for Argentina though
