Can Russia's defense grind the US to a halt, or will the US run right past them to the Semifinals?
The Rules learned in the Prediction game.
1: Brazil is always disappointing
2: Never dismiss Argentina solely because of age.
3: Never bet against Spain in a knockout game, unless it is against the US.
where is the poll? -.-Originally Posted by Dtown
This is the second most exciting thing you can do it indoor and you can do it in front of thousands. Well you know the first one and bedrooms are a bit small for thousands.
right there

Maybe it's obvious!
We could win this game if as a part of Russia were JR Holden, AK-47, Khryapa.
This Russia doesn't have stable snipers, really at the expense of protection to beat USA?
Yes, Russia can limit USA 2 around 80 points. Russia might score then more than 40, even 50 if they make their 3p shots!

USA will blow them out, at least 20+ (because they cut the gap a little after it's done, USA will probably get a lead of at least 30)
USA can beat the russians at their own game, Puerto Rico almost did until we got in foul trouble at the end.
Turkey also beat them without even getting to 75 points, and same for China.
Russia is a team that isnt dominating any team, other than New Zealand, but is just doing enough to pass.
They remind me of Spain at the world cup, hope that isnt the case here too.

USA to beat Russia by 22 points
USA +20/25. They will reach the semis without being really tested. Actually, I only see Argentina with arguments to stop this trouble-free walk to the final from USA...

Voted for Team USA but like any team that USA faces, I'm hoping they don't tread lightly and bring their A-game as always.
Draft Wishlist:
PG Michael Carter-Williams / 21 yrs. old / 6'5

guys are you kiddin' me?
i think the americans here are trrified of russia for no reason.
yes the russioans have very good centers and forwards and they can limit the american scoring to around 80-90. nut ther is no way they can score more then 50-60- against the american D. the russians have a huge problem in both guard positions, they do not have a legit PG, and there will be alot of turnovers.
and as a native russian i am actually cheering for the mother land, but there is no way in hell russia can give any problem to the US.
in coclusion, USA, easy, by 20+ diffrence.
a russian jew, shalom!

Russia is playing so tasteless that every time I watch them play a piece of youth is being ripped from my soul
Minimum 30+ for USA
It was done painfully +1 last 4.5 seconds.So good than winning by 25+Neutral 10+ for Turkey
Subjective 25+ for Türkiye
Russia has no chance against you. Thats clear. They have missing patriot KHRYAPA. but even with him it would be a mission impossible
