France

Before the tournament they already were one of the title contenders, now they have a chance to prove, that everyone were right by expecting high results from them. France have made a big surprise by eliminating USA. But in that match, they have shown a great focus, stability, played very well on defence, Gobert have dominated under the rim, while Fournier, De Colo have led the team to a great and earned win. Now, they must show the same passion and stability, because Argentina, just like United States can play very fast, however France are favourites not without a reason, they have more experienced players, Gobert will surely stop Scola from easy points, so if they will play in same way like against Usa, surely France should prevail.
