SWP/KP and Carlini should have been on this roster, but I've been saying that for a while now.
I will also never understand a coaching mentality where you would fill roster spots with players specifically designed for one purpose instead of bringing those that can bring all the skills required for their respective position. Why be so limiting?
I definitely want to see Hancock for Poulter, Hill for MBH and Chi for Foluke vs. Italy, just to see if the team can look more cohesive and less sloppy. To me, the team hasn't even reached the form they had in the 2019 WCup yet.

Are we really not going to see Hill take at least one swing in a match this entire Olympics?

I mentioned it earlier but Karch has to be considering it with how awful MBH has been on offense and how even MORE awful Krob has been at passing. Kimmy can do both. I think we see her at some point but not until the team's back is completely against the wall unfortunately. |

I'm willing this quarterfinals bracket into existence:
1A BRA vs. 4B ROC
2A SRB vs. 3B ITA
3A KOR vs. 2B TUR
4A DOM vs. 1B USA
Really hoping USA and TUR win their final pool matches. Probably won't happen but it is my wish.

Italy is the weakest of the remaining pool B teams IMO. Maybe second weakest.

Not sure they can maintain that level though as they are known for being inconsistent. I think Russia and USA are the 2 best teams and then turkey and Italy comes down to both teams OH play but I simply have to favor turkey due to the monumental setting advantage |

I would rank them a solid 3rd out of the 4 remaining teams with Turkey just behind them. |

Kelsey's passing in two outings
35% positive, 14% perfect. 3 errors (14 passes) yikes.
MBH, Larson, and JWO were all at 65% positive, 36% perfect (Larson was 26% perfect) against Russia.

Is Macris done? Also, always been a huge fan of Roberta.
