While I think we can beat Brazil today it is clear that Brazil at home....rested from not playing yesterday will put their best squad on the floor.
I think we will go again with our A lineup. While they may be more tired if the match goes long, I expect our pins to excel today.
Both our middles have been really good but Bruhno will present a much higher level to track.
I love our serving mixture.

But a lot of teams were sending their youth or playing their youth. Not sure when those teams will send out all of their main guys. Also, we have a couple of guys to rotate in for the later rounds but I can’t imagine playing all the starters in every game is a good strategy for keeping our guys healthy and in optimal condition.

Canada has yet to win a set this VNL not great they're trying to play fast but their passing isn't good enough to do it consistently and they're struggling big-time to stop other teams from siding out. Pretty young crew on this team many of them are still in University and have zero experience at this level or only a couple years of Pro experience. Jesse Elser was playing Lib today and he is an outside at TWU going into his 6th? Year? Seems like Josephson is going to need some time to figure this out - this is a heck of a lot different than coaching a Canadian university team VERY different 😂. However, almost everyone that I have spoken to are happy to see BenJo get a shot at this. We’ll see how it goes but history indicates he doesn’t like losing which is an attitude your program must have —- to begin, you gotta hate losing more than you like winning

Why did this Serbia/Germany match have to be so good?! Now I have to hop over to USA/Brazil. Guess I'll have to check out the replay.
