[…] Thanks to that 83-point win over Nigeria, the USA is +162 through four games. Argentina is +53.”

Math fail. It’s a moot point, but Argentina would only need to beat the US by 55 points. That would put the US at +107 and Argentina at +108.

Because on the official olympic site there isn’t anything written about the tiebreaker criteria (btw it’s quite strange, isn’t it?), but according to the related wikipedia pages the tiebreaker criteria are head-to-head records, then the goal average of the games involving the tied teams etc., so the Russians are already first in the Group B, even if they lose against Australians, and Brazil gonna win against Spain on Monday.
