I don’t think this Turkey team is going to get out of Pool B. They look like such a mess and their lefts just cannot put up 4 sets of consistent play. pfft....Russia looks worse.

I mean this in the nicest way to my back row queen, but it was really nice not having to deal with K-Rob's offensive woes today

I'm not sure either, but I just don't want to bet against them. They are always a mess. Russia also might be gaining a little momentum at the right time and might be a little underestimated. They are also a mess, but with decent middles and 4 pins who all bring some game (Voronkova/Kosh/Gonch/Federovtseva)

Pleased with Washington’s performance but she needs to stay out of the net. Too many!

ok now let’s see how we stack up against China. Can't wait. Both teams look good. China will only get smoother vs. Poland and Russia. That match will be a taste of what's to come at the Olympics.

We'll see if they can put together a game plan to hang. I don't think Ebrar can hold it together mentally for four sets, and that's gonna be tough cuz they'll need to ride her.

USA CHN ITA SRB for olympic final 4 It will be even more fun if Italy and Serbia are out early (even if that's semifinals) - with them hiding their A teams (and players). But I guess USA did something similar in 2012 ... but they were still winning everything. Italy and Serbia sent .... meh

Maybe Guidetti will rest Karakurt to save her. Or maybe they won't collapse.

So nobody is cancelled this match. Congrats USA! If they were on the verge, maybe they redeemed themselves. There's more ammo for that with the men's lineup also being revealed today. I wonder what lineup we’ll see with the men moving forward
