Good game. Boomers stuck with it. Real good game

what does the other side of the draw have in the way of teams that we need to look out for if we come 2nd in the group
any ideas. Like do we have to play like Spain or a higher team.

If aust finish second. We wouldnt see the usa again until the gold ,edal maych. All going to plan.

But first they would have to play the 3rd place side from b, currently tied between brasil and croatia

Then they'd face more than likely the winner of b, currently tied between argentina and Lithuania

Now if we finish 3rd. We playing either arg or lit first then the us in the semis
