Two matches to decide Sunday’s grand final pairing includes today’s schedule in its semi-finals World Cupin Manila. Serbia takes on Canada (11:45, ERT1, Novasports Start, sport-fm.gr) and the USA and Germany (15:30, ΕΟΤ1, Novasports Start, sport-fm.gr) compete against the background of the medals, having already secured all four places in the Olympic Games in Paris.

THE Serbia, who apart from the loss to Italy have four emphatic wins, need victory to secure their fourth World Cup medal after golds in 1998 and 2002 and silver in 2014. Svetislav Pesic is not only counting on Borisa Simanic , who lost his kidney, but this ugly development has rallied the entire “plavi” team that seems to be on a mission. THE Canada he is in the top four for the first time in his history, but as Cy Giljus-Alexander also stated, now everyone’s appetite has been whetted and they want not just a medal, but the gold. The referees of the match will be Joan Rossot (France), Julio Anaya (Panama) and Manuel Mazzoni (Italy).

In the second time semi-final the USA they will take on the tournament’s only unbeaten team, Germany. The two teams had met in a friendly on August 20 in Abu Dhabi, with Team USA finding it dark and winning with 99-91, but overturning a 16-point difference and while losing until the 35th minute. The U.S. has not only medaled in four events, but is coming off the 2019 cazo where they finished their worst ever, seventh. So anything less than gold will be a failure. On the contrary, the Germanythe only team with 5/5 in the World Cup, is claiming the second medal in its history in the institution after the bronze in 2002. The referees of the match will be Antonio Conte (Spain), Boris Krejs (Slovenia) and Gatis Salins (Latvia).
