Groups C and D return to action today, while there’s a day off for Groups A and B. That means Team USA will be playing today, however the big games are a European fight and the clash between unbeaten Lithuania and Australia.
The schedule (local times)
Group D: Angola – Mexico (12.30)
Group C: Ukraine – Turkey (15.00)
Group D: Australia – Lithuania (16.30)
Group C: USA – New Zealand (17.30)
Group D: Korea – Slovenia (19.00)
Group C: Finland – Dominican Republic (21.30)
The must-sees
Half of today’s games are crucial. Turkey faces Ukraine and Finland plays against Dominican Republic in Group C. Predictions can’t be made and the four teams are tied at 1-1. In Group D unbeaten Lithuania (2-0) will be tested by Australia (1-1), a couple that has already met in preparation games.
The individual attractions
Mexico’s Gustavo Ayon – as expected – is playing great until now and he will have the chance to lead his team in its first win after two loses in the game against Angola.
The one sided affairs
Team USA and Slovenia will have an easy task against New Zealand and Korea. Mind you, that New Zealand is a good team, but not on the same level with the Americans.
