I really really cannot handle a third defeat in the gold medal match against Brazil. Please win.
I can’t even make myself rewatch the 2012 final match even if someone pays me. That collapse was just too much.
Please beat Brazil. The is a team that collapsed in the final of the three major tournaments against all other teams except USA

I just realized there hasn't been a 3-0 sweep in the Olympic Gold Medal match since 1984 when China swept USA in Los Angeles.
Brazil is the only team to go undefeated in the 12-team Olympic format (2008), Brazil dropped only a set.
USA has more silver medals in Women's Volleyball than anyone else (3).
Italy continues its streak of not making it past the Quarterfinals.
South Korea, Netherlands, and South Korea again are two of the 'surprise' teams that probably weren't expected to make it to the Semifinals in the past 3 Olympics. I wonder who this could be in Paris 2024.

Serbia vs. S.Korea Womens' Volleyball Bronze Medal match at 5pm PST, followed by USA vs. Japan Women's Basketball Gold Medal game at 7:30pm PST, followed by USA vs. Brazil Women's Volleyball Gold Medal match at 9:30pm PST. Bam, bam, bam. Great scheduling! I thought this was today, and went to check the results... |

USA has more silver medals in Women's Volleyball than anyone else (3). but if you count USSR, Unified team, Russia and ROC as one, then team USA get another silver medal for most silver medals  |

Maybe Brazil will win the first set 25-11, and then the USA will come back and win the next three sets as Brazil looks more and more and more desperate.
That would be pretty sweet.

If USA wins Gold, Larson and Foluke (just like Ross, same years too, 2012 Silver / 2016 Bronze / 2020ne Gold) will complete the set of Olympic Medals. Quite a feat. GO TEAM USA !!
