Yeah I know..
If they beat China.. i reckon it's worth trying a normal or CT against Spain
They would start 1-3 and with low ent compared to the competition.. and it would be impossible to get a medal, yes
But it depends what you consider "nicer":
- Qualify to the "winners group", go 1-3, and end up 6th/7th in the WC
- End up in the "losers group", go 4-0 and at best end up 9th
