Good against the B team from Belgium. Comments like these -.- They have done well period. It doesn’t matter who you play you still have to show up and play good volleyball to win. Idc if it’s Belgium B team or Serbia with Boskovic. They’ve showed up and played well, you can’t ask for more. Some of you never played high level sport and it’s easy to tell.Maybe some of the players are reading these forums and y’all drag these players way too much. Ohh you know my resume?? |

They aren't playing for a participation trophy. They are playing for Olympic gold this year. Whether they win or lose in the VNL against Belgium is immaterial. We need/want to see our Olympic roster looking capable of medaling Though, losing against Belgium sans starters would really give reason for concern. You may not care if it's Belgium's B Team or Serbia with Boskovic, but the difference between the 2 is that USA swept today and would've been killed by Serbia's A team given how they played today. Exactly they’re not playing for participation trophy and they’ve been winning every match and are very well on the way to win this trophy. What out of todays match makes you think this team cannot medal? Also, how do you know that they would’ve been killed by Serbia’s A team? No one has seen those teams play since 2019. I want the US to medal as well, but some of the comments on here are horrendous. I didn’t watch the match the other day here and read comments about how MBH can’t kill a ball and she hit .400 for the match or something like that with 16 kills. I don’t care if she tipped every ball in the match those are still impressive numbers |

Keep assuming Yeah I’ll just keep doing me and continue not taking stabs at players that absolutely don’t deserve that cause they worked really god damn hard to be in that position. You keep doing you |

Some of you never played high level sport and it’s easy to tell.Maybe some of the players are reading these forums and y’all drag these players way too much. See, but that's the point I don't think you get. They CAN ask for more. A lot of these posters want USA to see its first Gold Medal this Summer, and they want to be playing their highest level of volleyball and dominating here if the teams aren't of the best quality. China brought it's A-team today against Netherlands and didn't skip a beat. The 3rd set was very tight, but that's also without Zhu Ting. I don't see players NOT meeting Gold-Medal like expectations equivalent to 'dragging' those players. For example, take the most recent comments about Kelsey Robinson. Serbia would probably be a gold medal favorite if they had KRob. The problem is the USA system demands more of her, and USA fans are not sure she is going to be able to produce what *they* need. It is not a knock on her personally. Yeah, but how are they not dominating these teams? Again, everyone is making assumptions this team is not good enough to win gold. You haven’t seen other teams play so I think it’s absurd to say that the US team would get destroyed by other A teams based on their current VNL performance. |

It’s not fun rooting against Brazil anymore. They’re weak sauce now, more so without a healthy Natalia. That could be true, but I'm not counting my chickens yet. Though, if all goes to plan this summer, Brazil's record at the last 3 major tournaments will a QF loss in Rio, not even finishing Top 6 in the World Championship, and possibly a quarterfinal loss in Tokyo. How the mighty have Fallen. Tbf, Brazil still has the personnel to compete at the top, they’ve just elected to not play for the NT anymore. There also seems to be a generational gap in talent. Still though, between Brazil and Japan as a QF matchup for USA in Tokyo, I’m inclined to choose the former. Lol! There will probably few to no spectators in Tokyo but Japan will be dangerous at home regardless, IMO. |

But I just make fun of Brazil here cuz everyone else does it. |

😂😂😂 *2010 world championship flashbacks* 😭 We’ll see how it goes next week! I don't want any Brazilian voodoo. I think this Japan team is much more beatable. They have some poor passers and I'm not sure any of them can touch a Thompson or Chi swing. |
