Though Argentina and Russia might both be wishing they were in the gold medal men's basketball game instead of the bronze, neither nation wants to finish in fourth place.
Argentina's Manu Ginobli has been the driving force for this team throughout the entire tournament, but has given any indication on whether this will be his last time representing his country.
"A lot of things can happen. I'm 35. I know the chances are less every year, but I can't say I am retiring because I don't know," said Ginobli after the loss against the Americans.
Ginobli is part of a golden generation of players, who introduced the world to Argentina as a basketball powerhouse. Along with Luis Scola, Ginobli had a formidable and impressive run for his country, winning the 2002 FIBA championship and then winning gold in the 2004 Olympics.
They finished with bronze in the 2008 Olympics and now have another shot at a bronze repeat.
For Russia to thwart Argentina's hopes for bronze, Andrei Kirilenko will need to show off the talent that made him a productive player for the Utah Jazz from 2001-2011.
The Russians have the best chance to win when Kirilenko draws defensive attention. If he makes his presence felt in this contest, Russia will have as good a chance as the Argentineans to win this game.
