Canada doing what USA could not. This is definitely true, though Canada is looking MOTIVATED to qualify, while the USA is figuring out who will be on their Olympic Roster. Still, we deserved to lose last night due to our lack of performance and Canada earned this win today. Unpopular opinion likely, but the whole “figuring out lineup” take only goes so far and seems worn out at this point. How did all that lineup shuffling work out for them in the last VNL? There may be no magic lineup. They have who they have, there are no superstars (which aren’t necessary anyway), and they should be motivated every time they take the court. They’re still a good team for sure, but the last two international competitions (and this current one so far) have shown they’re not the best.

Well this speculation. I am all for hope. But I just want to be a little more grounded at this point and not set expectations too high or be too unrealistic. You literally posted on the Canada NT thread that the team won't make it to Paris, and now that the team had a good win, you tell the fans that we are jumping the gun Stop misinterpreting my words. I didn't say Canada won't go to Paris. I said there are still many hurdles to overcome. In any case, I said Canada had a decent shot at beating China. Glad to be proven right again here. I knew Cai Bin had no answer to Winzer.

I just don't want you lot be so crestfallen if Canada fails to make it to Paris that's all. But let's not dwell on that, shall we? Canada had a terrific match against China. Congrats to the Canucks.
