USA takes on #2 Brazil tomorrow at 8:45 am PT, 11:45am EST at Earls Court.
This will be a great challenge for the Americans.
Thoughts/predictions ?

USA in 4. I'm still advocating the position that Brazil has been riding the fumes of past success and their reputation is far more intimidating than their actual team right now.
I thought they'd have trouble even medaling before the games started and I stand by that especially after their last match.

If USA plays like yesterday they will get whacked unless Brazil plays bad too.

I'd be curious to know how many points Turkey gave to Brazil...I'd bet a lot.
USA is a pretty good serving team... which hopefully will get Brazil out of system so our block can do its job.

When's the last time the USA won pretty? Not our MO. Will try to defend, block and make more plays than Brazil, try to bring them down to our level.

We have won 3 straight WGP...took 2 at WCup (after defeating the winner)... USA has been the most consistent team in the world over 4 years. They aren't bringing anyone down to their level.
