USA Men to USA Women:

That's how you win a fifth set

USA dudes beach volleyball got fucked over on a challenge of a shot that would have won the match. We are at match point #8 in 95 deg heat.  Dudes are holding on for dear life.

That was an insane match. 

Ogbogu was a bench warmer last Olympics and now she’s a star player. Love to see it. Let’s finish off the Serbs

Can't wait to see Madi playing with her sister and Chiaka and O'Neal in the middle.  Team USA needs the Slide Queen in 2028.

Chiaka's block is pulling the US back into this set

Boskovic a beast 

Yep. USA couldn’t even score on a free ball. 

Block party! Tied at 8

What a dig by the Husker

And then the Husker blows the pass on an easy serve.

Annie Drews is awesome

AND OUT!!!!! No touch

USA Wins

That was an epic final point.  God damn

It really was a outstanding final/match point volley.

Great game ending the right way!!! 

I also love listening to Paul commentate a match. 

We are in to the knock-out round with these 2 points.

Guess I don't understand the point system. How are our women "guaranteed" into the next round with this win? Is it just because everyone knows France is terrible? If we somehow managed to lose to them, and they beat us in straight sets, they'd get 3 points and be tied with us, wouldn't having the H2H win put them over us? Also, if China beats the Serbs there's a few scenarios where they could be tied with us (and have the H2H win) or outright ahead of us. We only have 1 point over China with an extra match under our belt. They could be up on us 5-3 after they play France, then wouldn't we also need 3 points against France? I don't see how this is guaranteed other than assuming we get 3 points against France...but assumptions aren't guarantees. Can somebody educate me?

I do think Paul was making assumption we would beat France, because they are bad bad. 

If we lose to France, we didn't deserve to make the knockout stage.

Even then, China has the ability to add 6 more points (though that would likely drop Serbia behind us), and we only have the chance to add 3 more. Seems like the math could work out where China and Serbia could both finish ahead of us, especially if we don’t get all 3 from France. But let’s say us and China both get 3 from France. Then they’d only need 1 from Serbia to tie us in points

China winning over France - 3 points + 2 points from USA match.

We just want Serbia to win against China either 3-0 or 3-1.

If this happens (and USA takes care of business against France), USA will be 2nd in this pool.

 

Got that from Volley Talk

Chiaka the undersized MB tied the Team USA record for blocks in an Olympic match 

That’s our girl!

And we have a power outage with the Team USA Men versus Japan
