How does everyone stream this? I can't for the life of me figure out how to watch... It it on cable only? so you can pay for access to NBC‘s streams using Peacock, Sling Blue, Youtube TV, etc, those are the ones I link in the first post of the thread. Also, if NBC is airing it on TV, you can catch it on your local NBC Channel. So today, NBC will be airing the match during their TV block at 9 PT, so it won’t be live on TV. You’ll have to pay for the online streams or there’s other extracurricular options to view if you want to watch it live. This might be confusing so PM me if you have any questions.

This is one scary matchup. I feel like we've done pretty well against Mikhaylov throughout the years, but Poletaev is very good too. If Kliuka is playing well, Russia is just downright freaky.

We may need to go to our bench for this one.

It really comes down to Defalco. If he steps up we medal. If he struggles we don’t. Not having Russel is a huge loss

I’m not sure how much his injury affected his level of play, but I hope USA serves/passes well enough to minimize Yakovlev’s impact on the game. His springiness and lateral speed is elite and he can absolutely wreck opponents offensively and with his huge block. As a USA fan, I would NOT want to see him getting into a rhythm but as a fan of volleyball I kinda want to see him demolish… maybe against another team lol.

Russia is a much better team than France, even if they are not all having a great game. I think what might happen is that we will try to give DeFalco a diminishing amount of court if he is having a rough time. That will make it tougher on Sander and Shoji. We have seen this back in DeFalco's first summer with the team, but he has grown since then. France went after him and he did well. We might see Anderson come into the passing rotation more if needed.
Kliuka and Mikhailov both hit .400, and Volkov hit .376. With that in mind, they still did not look unstoppable. We are a better blocking team than Argentina. We have much better high-ball hitters, and we can terminate out of system at a level that Argentina could only dream of at this point.
Even if we tighten things up and improve on the things that Speraw, Fuerbs, and Wall have emphasized in the last 24 hours, it will not be the same kind of performance that we had against France. With the exception of libero and maybe setter, Russia is better than France at every position.

I think Erik's gonna have to put on a passing clinic to help TJ out tonight. If Russia doesn't hammer him with their serves, clearly the teams have seen something on tape that we don't know about/understand. I think this could be very entertaining, especially since Russia returns a ton of its lineup from Rio and they'll probably want revenge.
