It was an epic choke job indeed, but they still won their pool which is a huge surprise considering Russia and Brazil were in it. IMO they have a great shot at a medal drawing Italy in the quarterfinals. Considering the US men were ranked 6th going into these games, that would be a big sucesss.

Sadly, had to give up my tickert for the first two quarter-finals today. Decided I prefered Russia-Lithuania and Spain-France in the basketball quarters.

Too much stuff going on!

I think they invented a new word for choke in that game. (SMH)

I wanted to jump thru the TV and cut off each one's balls because they played like they had none and like little girls throwing a tantrum b/c someone stole their ball and wouldn't give it back (so cutting off their balls would have been a very poetic ending, IMO!!!) Laughing

Italy really played their best volleyball in a long time. Very surprising that the reigning Olympic champs got eliminated so early. Gotta think it's between Brazil and Poland now for the Gold.
