India.
After 8 rounds, the top ten features nine of the top ranked teams. Remarkably consistent by the favourites except for 8th seeded Hungary. Meanwhile, Uzbekistan 2 has overperformed compared to their 30th seeding.
Who will win may come down to tiebreaks and that flavours the Uzbeks.

The course of today was very sad for Germany. At some point I was really hoping for German win and USA-Uzbek draw

The Uzbeks are playing in front of their government sponsored and their fans. They are highly motivated to do well and collectively as a team have gained significant Elo. Compare India, USA, China who have all lost Elo including individuals dropping by double digits.
Perhaps Uzbek 1 will fight Uzbek 2 for gold and silver in the last round.

Why, just because you wish it? The Indian performance against strong 2600+ players does not look like a winning team.
Praggnanandhaa+2=4
Erigaisi +1=4
Sarin =3-1
Gukesh+2=2
Vidit =1
Compare Uzbekistan
Abdusattorov +3=4
Sindarov +2=3-1
Yakkuboev +5-1
Vokhidov =1-1
Madaminov=2

Blunders are usually how one wins and I won't comment about Nihal benefiting from good luck in earlier rounds.
Good news - Praggnanandhaa is in good form and a world champion is capable of farm management on board 4 although the animals bit back in the last round
Vidit remains an unknown quantity as he barely played.
Erigaisi and Sarin can look forward to their next tournament.
