Lineup is set. Overall, GS is better than last week so that's great. The only trouble spot is Barreiro Valverde that sold last week so with a poor GS, but Jarvis is back so that's not the end of the world.
Mexico GS is similar to ours, and they performed remarkably well against the US last week, on equal effort (with both GDP right), so it's hard to say whether we can continue on our winning streak. It should be close!

Wow coming back from work to see a massive blowout in the first quarter :O
I didn't want to play and outside offense because of GDP, nor a fast one for the same reason, I hope it won't cost us the game! We're starting to come back in the 2nd quarter and we have the inside focus right so we're still in this!

Edit: Kearin (starting PF) already at 5 PF as well..

-11 @ HT, could have been worse!

I thought our guards would score a bit more than that (their guards are not the best) but we're hanging on.

On the plus side, both their starting bigs are already at 4 PF, I hope we'll see the benefits of GDP in the second half

Middle of 3rd quarter, Kearin out but we're back @ -3. Burimenko takes over, I'm not too worried about that.
We're not out of the woods yet, but it starts to smell good

-6 at the end of the third, we had 3-4min without any shot made, it wasn't pretty!
Still in it, they scored as much in the first quarter than in the 2nd and 3rd combined!

OK game's over, we won by one, the end was a real pain to watch :D
Mexico is out of contention for the world repechage.
Next week is against the US, we'll see what we can do there, but if Uruguay manages to beat Brasil that will guarantee us a place in the semis (same thing if we beat the US).

Good job everyone, GS was exactly where we needed, it's a very important win tonight, I'm proud of the players and their managers
