Do you now regret beating Turkey? If they had to do it all over again, I think USA still goes all out on Turkey and beats them. |

If USA were to play this last match again, they'd likely win 8 out of 10 times against Brazil. Brazil was just too good and we didn't play at the level we had been. Thus the result.

Do you now regret beating Turkey? in our sport where momentum can be a HUGE factor, and in THE OLYMPIC GAMES, do you really want to give a team two sets and play a fifth set to 15?!?!?! if the usa women played to their full potential, we're not even asking this as said previously, dumbass question |

QUESTION FOR COACH MCCUTCHEON:
Why are you even reading this thread, Hugh? It's a total waste of your time.

Turkey needed a sweep or at least a 3-1 win. A five-set victory over the US would've had them tied with Brazil, with the Brazilians winning the tie-breaker.
A sweep by Turkey probably would've gotten the US team kicked out of the Olympics entirely.

Wasn't it the Turkey match that Berg got injured in? Maybe they tried.  |

Turkey was 2 points ahead of Brazil going into the last match. |

LMAO. Like the US never threw a match to kick another team out of contention before, albeit under Yoshida not Hugh . GP 2004 final round pool play USA vs Italy, we all know what you did.
