USA Team News
The Americans came to this championship with a very rejuvenated team without their biggest NBA stars, but still, that team is “on paper” the strongest of all at the championship. However, for the umpteenth time, it has been shown that they are not playing with names, but that the whole team and its balance and discipline in both directions are very important. Steve Kerr’s team showed a lot of shortcomings in this championship, especially in the matches against Lithuania and finally against Germany. Although they are athletically very powerful and offensively potent, their big drawback is defensiveness, that is, “disinterest” in defense. They play in an ultra-fast rhythm decide their actions in the first seconds of the attack and run into the opponent’s back. One of the big problems for the USA is the problem with tactical discipline, which was used abundantly by the German national team.
The leaders of the USA team are Anthony Edwards and Jalen Brunson, who take responsibility in key moments of the match. The USA showed all its strength in the final against Germany, when in a short time, by strengthening the defense, they “canceled” Germany’s advantage of 13 points, and they found themselves in a situation to win. However, Andreas Obst appeared and decided the match. For the USA, Edwards was the most effective with 23 points, while Reaves added 21 points. The USA selection struggles a lot when the opponent gets back on defense in time and stands in the zone, especially from the aspect that the three-point shot does not serve them in this championship. Brandon Ingram was not in the USA lineup in the semifinals because he was injured and probably won’t play in the match against Canada either.

Canada Team News
The Canadian selection is a real refreshment at this championship and they will certainly do their best to win and take third place, which would be a huge success for the Canadian selection. Although they played a great championship in the semi-final against Serbia, they had no chance. From the first minute, Serbia “got into the meat” and controlled the entire match. The problem for Canada was personal foul trouble in the first quarter by SGA team leader Dillon Brooks, who is the driving force behind the defense. They could not get used to the intensity of Serbia’s defense and in the end, they were deservedly defeated. SGA proved to be a real team leader at this championship, driving Canada forward. Next to him, RJ Barret also plays well and makes a great contribution in both directions. However, the biggest problem for Canada is the lack of width and the large imbalance between NBA players and players coming off the bench.
The Canadians showed their qualities against France and Spain when they played the best matches of the tournament. They beat France by 30 points, while they beat the Spaniards despite a 12-point deficit at the beginning of the last quarter. Canada, like the USA, plays at a very fast pace and scores 94.7 points on average, while the Americans are the most efficient team with 102.6 points on average. They solve their actions in the early attack, and force transition and many three-point shots.

USA vs Canada Prediction
The USA and Canada are two national teams that play in an ultra-fast rhythm, and push the NBA style of basketball. Without much defense, they solve actions in the early attack. That is why we expect this match to be very attractive and to end with a large number of points.
