Progsport Basketball Prediction

Greece finds itself in a very tough Group A in this World Cup alongside Canada, Australia and Spain. Greece has placed itself among the 5 best rankings in Europe. 5 participations in the Olympic Games, silver medalist in 2006 during the World Cup, and victorious in EuroBasket 1987 and 2005. For the moment, it is therefore the Greece of Giannis Antetokoumpo, a Greek player remains too isolated in the within this squad which has very modest ambitions for its adopted country unlike his career in the NBA with the Milwaukee Bucks. To validate their ticket, Greece beat Slovenia 96-68 and Croatia 69-80. Finally, Greece moderately prepared for its arrival in Paris with a success against Puerto Rico 67-65 and a heavy setback against Serbia 94-72. Without hesitation at this time we have the chance to see the greatest generation of Canadian basketball evolve. A true sensation of the last 2023 World Cup, SGA Canada finished in 3rd place by beating Team USA in the match for 3rd place 118-127 AD. No need to go through the TQO for Canada, qualified in the same way as Team USA on the American continent thanks to this success for 3rd place. What are the Canadian ambitions at the dawn of this first match? A 2nd silver medal after that of 1936. Gold will be very difficult to obtain given the squad set up by Team USA against whom Canada lost its first preparation match 86-72, for 2 successes afterwards ahead of France 73-85 and Puerto Rico 103-93. 

Wembanyama's France is highly anticipated by the French public, where too much 3 is a minimum. There are very strong nations in place and we even wonder how and who will prevent the United States, which is bringing a “Dream Team 2.0” team, from taking gold. Maybe this Blues team but it starts with a good group campaign knowing that the preparation was truncated by a narrow defeat against the reigning world champion, Germany, without Wemby 65-70 two days after only their victory against the latter 66-90. Note that the French had fun against Turkey for their first prep match 96-46 before being torpedoed by Germany 65-70. The Blues did not have the level to compete with Serbia 67-79 and Canada 73-85 to finish with a 4th setback against Australia 82-83.3 times bronze medalist, Brazil has not since 1968 more reached the final gold medal of an Olympic tournament. In fact, in 2020, he didn't even participate in the competition, while in 2016, in Rio, he finished in 5th place. Brazilian basketball is gradually losing its splendor that it enjoyed in the 20th century. To confirm this, during the last two World Cups, the Brazilians finished in 13th place twice. To qualify for these Paris Games, the Selecao defeated the Philippines in the qualifying semi-final 71-60 before strafing Latvia 69-94. Brazil has not played since.
