Nick either needs to give a tough serve or dig a ball

They had their chance in set 2. Granted a win here would have been a surprise, but up 1 set and up 16-14 in the second and they had a realistic shot at winning.

This is probably the last we see of Phil internationally. I don’t see him playing FIVB events just for the hell of it if he’s not going to make a run for Paris.

Phil had 7 blocks and Dalcena had 4 aces to go with that too. Not a good day for USA. Hopefully the men’s indoor team do better job in 8 hours. Their backs are up against the wall.

But I have to think a bit disappointing in his last 2 olympics. He will definitely be missed.

QAT definitely played well, but can't say Phil/Nick didn't have chances. Just left the door open enough in that 2nd!

I can’t tell you how much I respect Phil for his loyalty to Nick. He’s a throwback to the old school where you go with who got you there. Yes, he played with Todd Rogers for a bit, but aside from a few other stand ins, Phil remained loyal to Nick until the end.
Nick was a top 15 talent, who inspired the loyalty of a top 2 partner. If Phil had played with any of the other top 8 players. He would have won more. Likely, at least another medal, if not another gold.
Hats off to you for your loyalty, Phil. You were incredible to watch and root for.
