We shouldn’t overlook Argentina. But a win here puts them in a better position than had they lost.

This weather actually played in their favor today. Playing at noon in Tokyo would be hot as hell.
Look at roaring Nick Lucena after that match point finish!!

I suppose there’s now a chance they could come out of the pool first. If Dalcena beats ARG and Brazil beats NED then they’d likely be in some combo of a 3 way tie for 1st at 2-1.
However things work out, have to beat ARG in a couple days.

I suppose there’s now a chance they could come out of the pool first. If Dalcena beats ARG and Brazil beats NED then at worst they’d be in a 3 way tie for 1st at 2-1. They could potentially be only tied with Brazil at 2-1. However things work out, have to beat ARG in a couple days. I would rather they have fate in their hands rather than in the hands of others!

Phil still looks terribly out of sync. He hit against Nick’s call for errors far too often in this match and missed too many serves for a guy with his experience level. He’s got to play better. Nick picked him up big time late. The line over was there for Nick all match.
If I had one criticism for Nick he’s got to control the ball off the block and give Phil some better options but that’s nit picking. He played well.

Seems like they’re really depending on experience because they’re not getting much practice in. And Phil has to travel back and forth between the quarantine hotel and the Olympics village. When does he get to leave that quarantine hotel?

Nick has been clearly the better of the two both matches now. Phil is clearly affected the isolation.

However things work out, have to beat ARG in a couple days. Don't see them winning a 3 way tiebreaker due to set ratio. They lost in straight sets and won in 3. A 3 way tie would probably drop them to 3rd place. They'll gladly take 2nd instead.

Reminder: Dalcena play the last pool play match at 10pm ET/7pm PT tonight against Argentina. They must win to guarantee making it out of pool because Dutch/Brazil play later in the day.

How long does Phil have to stay out of Olympic village? Hopefully they take care of business. Looking forward to seeing that Dutch/Brazil match as well.

Not sure… maybe the commentators will let us know today on USA Network. Jake and Kelly Claes are also in isolation hotel so training hasn’t been exactly ideal for the three American teams.
