Day 1 is done.

8 games played. Only 1 game was close to the end -- DR v Philippines. That game as you saw from the clips was tight from start to finish. The next game was a 14-point difference, with the rest have > 15 pts difference.

France has that luxury of just showing up here, resting Wembanyama instead, and getting pummeled by 30p by Canada. The Les Bleus are assured of an Olympic spot due to being host.

Top performers are:

1. SGA - Canada
2. Nikola Vucevic - Montenegro
3. Moritz Wagner - Germany
4. Patty Mills - Australia
5. Dairis Bertans - Latvia
6. Rolando Smits - Latvia
7. Junmar Fajardo - Philippines
8. Josh Giddey - Australia
9. Yuta Watanabe - Japan
10, Jordan Clarkson - Philippines

It's quite obvious France just wants to show up in games as they are assured already of a spot in the Olympics next year via being the host. Some folks still call today's loss to Latvia as an upset, while I saw this script already on Day 2 when the Road Warriors beat the Les Blues by 30p or so.

Meanwhile, on Day 4 of the World Cup, we just had great games --

Cape Verde v Venezuela
