I've been seriously wondering what the fans and coaches of those 3 teams think of the USA's gold medal chances?
If you're China, Italy, or Serbia, who would you want to face (or not face) in the semis?

For pool A, my prediction:
1. Serbia
2. Brazil
3. Japan
4. DR/Korea (DR if based on VNL)

For pool B,
1. China
2. Italy
3. USA
4. Turkey/Russia (TUR if based on the VNL)

QF
Serbia vs Turkey/Rus - Serbia W
Italy vs Japan - Italy W
Brazil vs USA - USA W(based on VNL)
China vs DR/Kor - China W

Semis
Serbia vs Italy - this will be difficult to predict. It will depend on Brankica/Maja’s health. But I’ll go for Italy.
China vs USA - China W

Bronze
Serbia vs USA

Gold
China vs Italy

Brazil and USA topping their pool.
Korea making to the semis.
China and Italy underperforming.
Japan not making it to the QF.
And USA winning goooold!

What an absolute talent. She really helped keep that Brazilian back court together all the way until the end.

Gonna miss watching you play, Brait!

Much love and PRIDE for this medal that came to crown and close a beautiful cycle in my life. I spent years dedicating myself to this shirt, dreaming of one day competing in the Olympics and finally I'm here living a big dream and taking home an Olympic medal💚🥈🇧🇷 I'm sure it was all worth it. Today I say goodbye to the Brazilian team with the certainty that I gave my all at all times and that I inspired other girls to pursue this dream. From today I'll be outside cheering for each one who goes through this incredible group 💚 Thank you Zé and all CT for believing in me and giving me this wonderful opportunity to compete in an Olympics! I want to thank with all my heart my family who always supported me, you are EVERYTHING in my life🤗💚 Thank you to all the Brazilian fans, and especially my fans💚 you make all the difference! Thank you God💚 GRATIDÃO GRATIDÃO GRATIDÃO 🇧🇷💚☘️🥈🤩 #medalhistaolimpica #Brazil #veryamor

I apologize if this has been posted somewhere, but I was too busy crying to see if that was the case. I'm pretty sure I saw posts where BTS gave a shout out to Korea WVB, so that shows you the power of Kim Yeon Koung.
