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.
