As you can see, the US and Russia are tied for first in match points. The first tiebreak is game points: USA and Russia are tied in that, too. The second tiebreak is face-to-face: Russia would win that.
Russia's remaining pairings:
- Armenia (super-tough)
- Egypt (easy)
- Israel (super-tough)
USA's remaining pairings
- Greece (on a hot streak)
- Armenia (super-tough)
- Azerbaijan (super-tough)
Even if Armenia (which will face Russia, USA, & Egypt) wins out, it would be not guaranteed a tie for first based on match points, even if tiebreaks were favorable.
Azerbaijan (facing Brazil, Greece, USA) has the easiest schedule, but may already need a miracle to catch up.
So USA is in strong position to grab the silver, with every chance to contend for gold.
