who should start?
I guess one of Hill/Bartsch is gonna get subbed for Larson/Robinson.
Should be Poulter at setter but would also be interesting to see Hancock's serve against Russia
Since they are alternating, I guess Drews at opposite
Maybe Ogbogu/Washington at the middles.
I dunno, I think JT should still be opposite and Hancock should be setter...

Usa in 4. I think Russia steals the first set because USA Is so slow to warm up and Russia had some spurts of very good play today. Not good enough to beat the us tho

I still don't know if it was Russia playing well or China playing badly today. I mean Zhu hit nothing but deep crosscourts which got picked up by the libero and Voronkova.
But if Busato is gonna do weird things like sub in Kosheleva for their youngster Fedorovtseva (gonna have to learn to spell that name) in the back row then they have no chance.

USA vs Russia was one of my favorite matches from '19 World Cup. Robinson was on fire (especially off the pipe) and would to see that again tomorrow

I think Russia was playing very well and China was playing not great at the same time. Then china flipped the switch |

5:00 am CT 🥴 I think everyone who didn’t play today except JWO will start tomorrow.
Poulter/Drews
Ogbogu/Washington
Larson/Krob
JWO
Curious to see how Krob fares vs Russia’s blocks. Still expecting 3-0 USA

I hope to see a USA sweep, or a four set win that isn’t too close. But it all depends on who Russia starts. All I know if that the young OH is the one that should be starting, idk who between Koshleva and Voronkova.

Seeing Sergio Busato this early in the morning is an upsetting proposition.
