USA currently leading  2-1 and down 20-19 in set 4. Nnamani playing for Wilkins, everybody's scoring, and we have half as many errors as Cuba. I'm surprised, but I'm happy! Any ideas what's going on? |

All over now. USA beats Cuba in 4: 25-19, 25-22, 21-25, 25-22. 31 errors by Cuba: nearly a third of our total points.
Like I said, I'm surprised, but then what do I know of the international teams? Is there any reason I should not be surprised?

Wilkins is a non factor in this match, she cannot put the ball away and was subbed by Ogonna who immediately registered 2 kills in the second game. Ogonna can terminate and she had several kills from the back row. Glass is very very impressive, she hit hard and smart, she can pack as much heat as the Cubans and her passing is on too. I am a big fan of her now. Joines played very well too some of her kills are eye popping. I am not impressed with Davis, she tried to be too dramatic sometimes by diving all over the court when it seems unneccessary The commentator kept referring Glass as Crawford  he kept saying that "Glass" will be 32 next year and wonder how long she will be in the national team. In addition he mentioned that aging players is a huge problem now in the usa program |

The commentator kept referring Glass as Crawford he kept saying that "Glass" will be 32 next year and wonder how long she will be in the national team. In addition he mentioned that aging players is a huge problem now in the usa program Everyone knows how awful the CCTV commentators are...  I always mute my TV when this guy's there |

the worst was when he referred Safrarova as useless ("fei ren" the literal translation is useless or handicapped man)  during the China vs Russia match |

Dude, that is awesome. I didn't see us winning this match. Is the USA finally starting to click?

Great offensive performance by the US team. Scott was 1 point away from having all attackers in double digit points. Quick stats round up.
Haneef- 15 pts
Glass- 15 pts
Scott- 9 pts
Joines- 11 pts
Nnamani- 13 pts
