Iran played quite well through the WC but just could not get close wins, glad they make it.

Serbia looked fantastic in first quarter and since then been in second gear. Starting a bit of a roll on now but strange game. Are they just playing bad or trying to set up their crossovers. Remember that Australia beat Serbia easily in the last Olympics only to be smashed when it really counts.

It's probably better for the US if Serbia win tonight.

Iran qualify for the Olympics with a 2-3 +7 record besting China's 2-3 -10 to grab the Asia zone spot. Nice.

Not watching the game, but can Serbia engineer a favourable path after Argentina/Poland by losing this game? Or do Spain just have their measure?

Serbia are asleep or set up the match up they want. Both Spain and Serbia should win the cross over to make final four.

Llull is some sort of player, better than Rubio. Spain looking very good.

From FIBA World Cup site: "The bottom two teams from each group are eliminated and ranked in places 9-16 according to the Official Basketball Rules."

Is it fair to say today's games are fairly meaningless?
No. Next Question?

Notwithstanding that in 3 groups, those going through are already determined, the remaining games are still extremely important.

Next to actually making it into the final 8, the next most important thing is who you play and what side of the finals you go. Half the remaining games are to determine that.

For the other 8 teams, many were prospective finalists, etc, so there is a lot of pride on the line in determining placings. I don't know how they are determined, as there do not appear to be any classification games for 9-16, but even if its done on a combined table basis, those who have missed out would rather finish 9th than 16th.
I imagine that will also impact world rankings.

Correct. It's handy though having a rest day before the epicness of tomorrow.
