USA is not looking good for Tokyo.
Yes, keep reminding Speraw how those substitutions in Set 4 cost them the set.

Our vets are not gelling with each other. Hopefully that changes in Tokyo.

Anyone going to inform Claire that 7 losses is too may to get the SF's or? Edit: Apparently not.

Slovenia is the real deal. USA just couldn't close it out.

Awful sub and poor decision by Micah in the 4th set cost the game with no Sander in the fifth set Sander played most of the 5th set and was subbed halfway through.

Man Cebulj was just too much. Still a good battle against an Olympic caliber team. A lot to learn from this match.

Slovenia just gets better every year, I hope their players will still be playing at a high level come Paris qualification. I think they should be. It’s tough being a European team when it comes to qualifying for the Olympics.

Is Anderson’s play a concern? Has there been a match at this years VNL where he’s been the Matt Anderson of old? When he was taken out for Ensing today I thought it was the right call. This is something I thought I’d never see/hear/believe!

This is something I thought I’d never see/hear/believe! I'm 90% chalking this up to the fact that he hasn't played pro ball in over a year. I'm all about load management, protecting our players and their health, but Anderson needs to be on the court with Christenson more. He's out of practice. The reps are important. Let him work through the errors and missed serves. He's still a high-level player, but getting back into rhythm doesn't just happen overnight... or playing once a week. Will he be fine? Of course. Are we running out of time to get him going against actual non-USA players? Yup.
