That was a ROUGH match. Thank goodness that Thompson was unstoppable. Poulter had a very bad match, but I'm sure she will snap out of it. Except for Thompson's hitting, every aspect of their game was poor. Particularly their blocking. Argentina's offense was quite predictable, yet they were not getting enough touches at the net.... or at least poor touches.

I fell asleep in the middle of set 2. Based on the comments, I thought we didn't win in three.

In fact, most are at 270 and their skill is at a very different level. We should have destroyed them. Our middles and setting were awful. Blocking non-existent. While I'd love a gold, I'm thinking we fall short of a medal.

Our middles had 15 swings combined in 3 sets. Poulter played AWFUL (and we can't sub her out) and China is going to demolish us Because Hancock is awful. That was perhaps the worst double sub I've ever seen. It was Argentina and you still had nerves and couldn't set a ball. 🙄 Still salty about Cheesehead Jesus watching the Olympics from her living room couch?

OK, most of you hated this match, but blocking? What was so bad about US blocking? They were touching a lot of balls, resulting in good defense. OK, that'll do. Go back to bitching.

It really is annoying to miss points because of commercials.
