Would also like to point out that this pool has 2 of the same teams as Dalcena’s pool in World Champs 2019 (in Netherlands and Argentina).

the heat/humidity is a serious problem in Japan I think. staying cool is a serious worry.

They had a test tournament in Tokyo back in July 2019 and Dalcena usually trains in Florida in the humidity. I think out of all 4 USA beach teams, they should be more used to the humidity.

After the timeout, they served Phil. Blocked Phil on the first one and then Phil hit out on the second play.
Tied 13-13 now.

Phil hasn’t gotten a block yet since they started showing the match at them up 4-2.
Dutch continues to hit hard into the block but Phil is unable to score off his block. Dutch up 16-15.
Dutch serves another hard one to USA and although they were able to pass the ball, Phil hits into the net while trying to soft tap it over the net. Timeout called by USA. Now down 15-17 😰

This first set has slipped out of their hands.

Nick hits out and Dutch takes the Set 1. Ugh. 17-21
Stats don’t sound good for when they lose the first set.
