I don't have a very educated eye for beach volleyball, but that looked like kind of an ugly match. Fun because it was suspenseful, but not very well executed by the US team.
Sometimes I almost wish volleyball gave you the option of resigning a game and just moving on to the next one. I'm sure that near the end of the second game, the US players wanted nothing except to get this game over and get their minds onto game three.

Branagh said their passing really fell apart.
I think Barnett made a good point in the indoor match the other night. The one about never giving up in a game. Not so much because you might come back, but because you want to right the ship, have something to hang your hat on, get those ducks back in line, smell the flapjacks at the pig farm, heading into the next game.

Yeah, in theory you should be working on setting up the next game. Trying to establish something that you will exploit later. Something like that. But watching them play today, I thought what I said earlier was true -- they wanted nothing so much as to just get that second game over and behind them. They were just a little too professional to deliberately miss balls, but they sure weren't playing 100% by the end of the 12-2 run (or whatever it actually was -- it was something like that). |
