    Default Quarterfinals, USA vs. Russia

    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? -.-
    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.

    Yes, Russia can limit USA 2 around 80 points. Russia might score then more than 40, even 50 if they make their 3p shots!

    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?

    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)

    If the Greeks had won against Russia they'd probably be here, but they wanted to avoid the US.

    I hope Russia brings their game. USA is looking hungry so far and I wasn't very impressed with Russia's win today.

    BTW what happened to AK47 and Holden?

    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.

    That part of the plan was successful. " Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's"
