I'm thinking Serbia and Russia qualify. That really opens the door for Italy, Turkey, Germany.. even maybe Croatia or Belgium if they were to get red-hot come European Qualifier time.. I think Netherlands would be the team to watch.

Netherlands > Croatia I agree. Netherlands are on a whole new level. Hopefully they can keep it up. ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png)

Netherlands > Croatia thing is, Karch already has a short leash for leaving out Hooker/Tom. if he leaves out Murphy, a starter on the worlds championship team... it could break him. come olympic time experience should come over a few good tournaments! heck I say email Hooker AND Tom tonight and fly them over to start training.

On the plus side, the commentator said Akinradewo correctly a couple of times at the beginning of the match.

Without Lowe USA beat Russia last year in World Champs with Startseva setting. Kosianenko made all the difference.

Kosheleva seems like a very nice girl. I'm a fan. Seems like a nice girl? Based on what? I'm pissed at her and all the Russian players. And their coach. And the stupid challenge system. And Karch's choices. And Glass. And Banwarth...and the whole world! Based on how she repeatedly killed Team USA in the biggest stages of International Volleyball! LOL! I know Larson and Kosheleva are really good friends. And I'll start from there. She's loved by a lot of European fans because of her attitude outside the court.

China/Russia is going to be a monster match tomorow though.
And we can take solace that the quality of the Olympics will be much better because of this result. Let's face it, World Cup has been boring because of the diluted field.

Im still new to USA volleyball and olympics and stuff For the last Olympics, what tournament did USA qualify in, and the NORCECA, is it tough? USA qualified via the World Cup in 2012. Dominican Republic won the NORCECA in 2012. They are hosting the 2016 North American Qualifier in Mid-May, 2016. With a full-strength team, they are a solid team but still behind the United States. But this time it looks like they have to play the US.

Well, after all that huge victory over China was just pointless now for Team USA.

I love your idea... but it is most likely NOT going to happen. In the words of Karch, "we're building a different culture of USA volleyball". Whatever that means.. ![(:))](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/ninja.png)

It'd be a pretty big upset if USA didn't win the North American Qualifier. If that worst-case scenario happens, they'd be sent to the World Qualifier.
