If not for the +12 in Q2, USA would have a tie at best.
They pretty much played to a standstill in H2.

Score by Periods 1st 2nd 3rd 4th Total
Australia..................... 19 10 26 21 76
USA Senior National Team...... 22 22 21 22 87

The Aussies also played Argentina to a 4 point game. Not sure how much of
that is flat favorites and how much is them being better than is expected.
Probably some of both, but even if they are better than, say, Germany and
Croatia or something it's still hard to see them in the medal round.
