So far so good. A couple of good opportunities for the USA, controlling possession in the attacking half of the field.

Yet to find the back of the net though.

not trying to take away from volleyball players at all, but I would think a lot of NBA players would make good volleyball players, too. At least in terms of body type and skill set requirements.

GOAL!

USA 2 - 0

Great job ladies!

What percentage of US Golds have been won by women so far? Seems appropriate that we should have woman president soon, doesn't it?

The water was contaminated, so they had to move it to dry land. US tore the earth up.

As of today 7 of 9 golds by women.

Simone Biles target of disgusting right assholes. Vance couldn't understand why she was praised for caring for her mental health, calling it weakness. Republican candidate for governor of North Carolina said when going gets tough he doesn't run away like "a little girl gymnast".

What possible reason could you care what those morons think about Simone Biles?

I don't understand it. Don't give them that power.

 

[crandc]

I don't care. Just reporting facts.
