Sander playing well so far, USA 16-14

This is one of the few times I have seen Poland play. Big guys, erratic passing.

Sander looks very good so far. Let's hope that rubs off on the other guys too.

Poland can be really good. But they're all about power/force.

I think their motto is 'hit really hard, consequences later'

[Sbilo]

I am sorry but that is a bad swing by Anderson, its out of system, he's back row trying to hit a ball trapped on the net. Give your block a chance and keep that in play.
