Does anyone care about the USA - Brazil series being played this week? Not a single post on here. Not even a story on the front page of the USAV web site.

With World League recently finishing, will USA and Brazil bring their top team? Are they viewing this as an Olympic preview? A final tryout for players 8-20 within their pipelines?
Seems to me like it's going to be more of an exhibition where lineups will be shuffled a lot. While yes, still very high level volleyball, I don't expect to be seeing the best of the best.

I'm not a fan of friendly matches at all.
I think the USAV CUP is a waste of time and a huge risk of players getting seriously injured before the beginning of major tournaments. They should use the dollars they spend on this to something else more important.

25-20 USA leading 1-0 now
Brazil got a yellow card. I believe it was because they argued thinking Christenson doubled.
Christenson ends the set slamming an overpass with his left hand
Sander struggling a little but not that bad

16-10 USA
I'm going to be honest that most of the kills Sander has gotten were all lucky. But a point is a point so it doesn't matter

I don't recognize 20 on Brazil but he looks taller than Saatkamp.

Wow did Anderson really lose the set with his free ball?
