In the final, I'm pretty sure Natalia played in the first two sets (which they won) and then was taken out because of injury in the next three...which we won. oops... which would explain why I forgot (i rewatched the final three sets like last week lol but not the first two) haha, only watching the sets that USA won

Or just pray tbh. got better as the match progressed.... in the first two sets it felt like the reception was never in-system.
ideally they play serbia in the QFs or Egonu gets tired, haha

Serbia and Italy will be fun to watch. Bunch of high hanging back sets and boskovic and egonu just banging at each other all match

Well well well.
SWP and Plummer making things interesting.
JWO is also having a great showing at the VNL.

I think we can pretty much comfortably say that China, Serbia, Italy and the USA are the top 4 teams. But who are the next few teams that can make noise? Obviously Brazil, but do we think Turkey will be able to make any splashes at the Olympics?

Also, will Mihajlovic be healthy at Tokyo? Or at the least be ready to be a terminal player? If not, I don’t see how Serbia can win. Sure, they have Boskovic, Rasic can help, but who else? Italy at least had players to support Egonu. As does China with Zhu.

Obviously Brazil, but do we think Turkey will be able to make any splashes at the Olympics? Japan as long as they don't match up with China (i.e. with Italy or USA) in crossovers
Turkey might have a chance to drag Serbia down if they match up.
Russia might unseat Turkey for the 4th pool B qualifer, but they'll get swept aside by Serbia. Pretty sure Serbia is gonna go at least 5-0, maybe 15/0 in Pool A.
Brazil have their chances, and so does DR.
I think the pools advancing will be (in order)
A:
Serbia Brazil Japan DR
B: Italy/China/USA one of Russia/Turkey.

Zhu+Gong alone is probably enough to beat Russia, Turkey, and Argentina but not much more.
