Another loss tonight 1-3 to Finland. Micha with 6 Aces/4 Kills and top two scorers were Bell with 18 and Walch with 17. Last match in pool play is against Brazil. Match Stats

Losing to Finland?!? That's just ridiculous. What a disappointing performance.

Too bad they're not in the same pool as Zimbabwe!

USA got butts kicked by Brazil. When was the last time an American volleyball team had such a poor showing? Was this a case in which all the other teams trained together longer? Did the U.S. Not take this seriously?

Did the U.S. Not take this seriously? I'm not so convinced on the players selected to represent Team USA. I think that they could have done better with other top OHs (not a knock on Sklar, Kan or Walch).

They may have asked others but college coaches did not allow it (or strongly suggested they not participate). Look what has happened to Stanford with Inky and Burgess.

Some video from the trip so far... 06/30/2015 USA vs KGC (scrimmage) 07/01/15 USA vs KGC (in uniforms) 07/06/15 USA vs Brazil (certainly not the ladies' best match) USA CNT Women vs. Chile tomorrow at 3:00pm local time... www.gwangju2015.com/IRS/eng/vo/engvo_volleyball_match_results_p2_womens_w400_3_05.htmThe men turned things around tonight and beat the Koreans 3-2 in front of a pretty fun crowd. I am hopeful that the ladies will get things turned around tomorrow and show us a different side of this team for the last 3 matches. Winner of USA/Chile match plays the winner of Turkey/Suisse... And for the record, the CNT (Women) was put together after the USA NT Tryout in COS back in February. 5 CNT teams were selected; 1 is here @ WUG, 1 was on tour in China from June 16-26, and 3 were in NOLA... "Team USA" is spread pretty thin with teams all over the globe during this time frame, so its a bit silly to expect this event to be the #1 priority in this case. Its also true that these athletes (or their schools or parents) foot the bill for this trip. It is an amazing experience, and they're trying not to focus on "excuses" like the fact that the team was together for only one practice prior to arrival in Korea, but yes, most other teams not only comprise older (and in most cases professional) players, but also came together 1-2-3 weeks or more prior to the event. The Finnish team, for example, has only players that are members of professional clubs, and they have a solid (and older) team. Losing to them was unfortunate, and I'm sure the girls would like to have that match back, but it was hardly ridiculous. The bottom line is that these athletes are here representing their country, and are working hard to figure things out and start winning matches. There are some fantastic young women here that are working to improve daily, and deserve some support from back home; even from the trolls...
