Is it bad if I hope we get Thompson back at Opp but keep Hancock at setter? LOL eye test, she just looks to have more flow and chemistry, especially with the middles. I highly think as hot as Drews has been, she gets the starting nod. Watching DR vs USA, Hancock sets the ball too close to the net. Or sets the pins were they ended up tipping, due to connection.

keep cheering for them you can cancel Blago but the rest I don’t think it’s fair. It was 4 years ago and most of them (besides Blago) have apologized and moved on. Definitely wasn’t cute or funny but seems like a low blow considering it’s been 4 years. It's incredibly fair. None of them called out Blagojevic's words. None of them called out the actions of the libero. Staying silent is part of the problem. They've all shown they've chosen not to educate themselves or their peers and instead chose silence.

Well it seems only appropriate that we review one of the two matches between Serbia and the US in Rio.

Tijana and M Popovic called out the libero. The rest I’m not aware about but I know those 2 did.

The anticipation is killing me. Feeling somewhat confident and nervous at the same time. Hoping for a big night from Rasic How are you always the antagonist 😩😒

She had some trap sets yes. But how is this any different than Poulter being so predictable everyone on the other side of the net knows she's going to set the OH and our OH is now going against a well formed block? Overall I think Hancock gives the hitters a better chance to succeed in attacking the ball than what Poulter gives them.

Overall I think Hancock gives the hitters a better chance to succeed in attacking the ball than what Poulter gives them. I like both, but Russia blocked the lights out of us because of poor setting choices by Poulter. I think Hancock has better speed and placement with our hitters. Poulter's sets in this fast system are still low and trap sets more so than Hancock. Its undeniable we need more from our middles and Hancock has done better esp w ex-team mate Washington. I also feel Larson is getting better swings and contact on Hancock's sets, and we have needed larson's offense as badly as her defense.

This is the match Hancock was brought for.
We’ll see if it pays off

Underdogs on men side stole the show... Brazil, Poland out... I hope Brazil and USA stays on course... Korea and Serbia have a BIG chance on an upset, which I ho[pe it don't happen. With this said. May the BEST team win...My heart is with USA, but my gut says Serbia. Serbia winning would not be an upset. At all. They are the defending world champions. Most folks, especially the commentators and broadcasters, don't realize that Serbia is one of the favorites to win the Gold here and always has been. China was the other one and then USA and Italy were the dark horses. Brazil hasn't been in the conversation for a while now but they are going to get a cake walk to the final. Sometimes things just work out. This tournament has been strange.

I just hope this is a competitive match. That's all I ask. If the USA goes down, at least go down fighting.
