It appears to me that USA has clinched the No. 1 spot in Group A and can be placed on the bracket, no? They're a game ahead of SRB and AUS and have beaten them both head-to-head. MrArticleOne (talk) 13:10, 13 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
USA play with France in the last match, if France win also win the 1st spot--152.170.24.22 (talk) 20:11, 13 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Why is Argentina ahead of Lithuania in Group B? They are tied to 7 points, and Lithuania defeated Argentina in their head to head. Ripero (talk) 13:07, 14 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Can someone segregate stats collected from games that went into overtime against those which ended in regulation? OT games are longer, so players and teams have more opportunities to "pad" their stats. –HTD 09:38, 15 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
please read here, specifically page 72 section D.1.3and4 "If at any level of these criteria one or more team(s) can be classified, the procedureof D.1.3 shall be repeated from the beginning for all the remaining teams notclassified yet" explains why Spain is 2nd regardless of the outcome of the final game of their group.18abruce (talk) 00:45, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

To avoid USA, like badminton in London 2012, they lost to avoid some rival152.170.24.22 (talk) 19:19, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
See Group tournament ranking system#Tiebreaker criteria for an example on a tiebreak by using the head-to-head criteria. –HTD 02:33, 21 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The snake bites it own tail...
Has anyone else noticed this about the second group? Croatia beat Spain defeated Lithuania beat Argentina defeated Brazil beat Spain defeated Nigeria beat CROATIA. There are some VERY close games in this path, including the double-overtime game and a one-point game in regulation time.
You can also find several other closed loops containing five teams or four teams, such as Croatia over Spain over Lithuania over Brazil over Nigeria over Croatia. Two things that makes this possible is that there were 1) no undefeated teams, and 2) no winless teams -- since Nigeria upset Croatia to finish up with a 1 - 4 record.
This is a very unusual pool, because the pools in this and other team sports always contained an undefeated team, such as American men or women in some sports, or Chinese or Brazilians in basketball or volleyball. This was unusual because in the past, the Brazilians and the Chinese have usually had reasonably good teams in these sports, as well as in soccer, beach volleyball, etc. I don't think that we would want to see Brazil vs. China in ice hockey, though. Think of that for the next Winter Olympics in South Korea. I wonder how the Koreans will do. Maybe as well as the British women did in basketball?
