I hope the ladies got their nerves out yesterday. I feel like the last three Olympic matches I've seen with the USA (Serbia and Netherlands in 2016, then Argentina in 2020ne), we've been seriously affected by nerves, or so it seems. Hope that trend doesn't continue.

IF China loses to the US, will be interesting to see if they get any more coverage on CCTV. I recall in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, CCTV decided to air a non-medal competition (maybe ping pong or some other sport) instead of the China-Cuba Bronze medal match. Things are different now. They didn't cut WV after either the 0-3 loss to USA in 2015 nor the atrocious group stage performance in 2016.
I think it's because people have wealthier lives now, so the average person doesn't "need" the country to win gold medals to feel better about himself.

Hope you're right. One can only take so much ping pong coverage a day.

Could someone please tell me the best streaming service to purchase to watch these matches uninterrupted in their entirety? Peacock? Hulu? I am NOT a cable tv subscriber. Thanks

Well let's at least hope we don't have to listen to the British guy doing the commentary.
