Now they will face Greece, a much more dangerous rival.
And now the Semis!!!
Two extremelly tough games.

"The Americans weren't going to win this game with their shooting. So they made sure they didn't need to.
Carmelo Anthony scored 10 of his 19 points in the third quarter, when the United States finally took control with its pressure defense, and the Americans went on to beat Germany 85-65 Wednesday night in the quarterfinals of the world championships".
