I cannot decide if Japan or Dominicana would be my preference for the USA to cross in the quarterfinals. I would say the DR. The Japanese defense may cause some issues |

So the world is not crashing anymore and the USA is actually not underperforming in this Olympics?

It will be ITA-KOR and SRB-TUR or ITA-SRB and TUR-KOR. |

Ok time to manifest:
1A Brazil vs. 4B ROC
2B Italy vs. 2A Serbia
1B USA vs. 4A DR (this match isn't over, btw)
3A Korea vs. 3B Turkey
Can you imagine the carnage that would be that first bracket.

I would’ve rather faced Japan than DR low key it was a toss-up for me honestly. Brenda shouldn't touch a single ball on SR. We can get DR to live out of system and they can be good for several errors per set. As long as our passing holds up I think we got it. |

The reigning 2019 NORCECA Champions (Dominican Republic) with a chance to take down their rival the mighty USA again at the Olympics! Throwback 2004 Athens: Rivera #14 and Valdez #1 . Valdez looks sooooooo young omg. She turns 40 this week and if her team can pull off the mighty upset she'll get to play for a medal on her birthday!  |

Jineiry has been scoring a ton from the middle on the higher tempo set. I don't think USA's block is going to let that fly. Plus, with Brayelin still not being 100%, it's going to be a very tall task because De La Cruz hasn't been very terminal at the Olympics to say the least. Rivera and even Pena-Isabel have been better than DLC. |

rematch of London 2012 QF when USA's backup setter had to set because our starting setter went out in the previous match with an ankle injury... spooky.....
