The match
What a fall from grace! United States of America came to China targeting a third straight FIBA Basketball World Cup trophy, something which most observers felt is straightforward. However, that wasn’t to be and two losses in the qualification games later, USA find themselves fighting for the seventh place against Poland. They didn’t have their best line-up available, but that is no excuse for United States. It was a breeze through the opening group for USA, as they defeated Czech Republic (88-67), Turkey (93-92) and Japan (98-45), although the game against Turkey could have been an embarrassing loss. They then followed it up with wins over Greece (69-53) and Brazil (89-73) to make it to the quarters. However, consecutive losses to France (89-79) and Serbia (94-89) pushed them into this match. In the game against Serbia – which many observers thought would be the final of this tournament – USA were at one stage trailing by 25 points. The 25th-ranked Poland would have been happy at reaching this stage. They have won four of their five group stage games losing only to Argentina. Poland were then knocked out of the quarters by Spain (90-78) and Czech Republic (94-84) to qualify for this match.Key Statistics
- USA have lost only two of their seven matches this tournament, but both came in their most recent matches.
- USA are ranked first in the world, while Poland are ranked 25th.
- Poland have won four of their seven matches this tournament, but have lost their last three.
The bet of our experts
Even if they finish seventh, USA will count this tournament as a failure. They wanted to win their third successive world cup, but that bubble has been burst. Losses to France and Serbia have shown the vulnerabilities of this side. Especially the match against Serbia, where USA looked disinterested to be playing the qualification matches. Although they recovered to reduce the deficit, questions remain over the mindset. Thankfully though, Poland shouldn’t present too big a threat.
