Our women lost in the 5 set. :(
Devastating. They completely melted down after being up 10-7.

Too many service errors and bad passing (thus not getting a chance for a kill spike) and net violations as well

And then we don't hit their serve and it sneaks in by a foot for an ace. Followed by a service error of our own.  That happened at 12-12 and 13-13. 2 Mental mistakes you just can't allow or chance in a tight set.

I just never understood the rationale. Or at least why the men don't wear spandex as well

Yeah, not sure. More gliding when you dive? :dunno:

Canary, use to coach high school volleyball, he said so it doesn't get caught in the net was the reason he was told. I think that's stupid.

I, a nobody, will question Kiraly's coaching there.  Blowing too much sunshine up their ass as they were losing it.  Should have told them they are better than their crap play.

If it were shorts and they dove and slid, wouldn't the shorts drag and roll off?  I'm not doing much diving so don't really know?

For the same reason women's tennis players wear skirts and the answer is no functional purpose whatsoever.

This actually makes sense. I csn get behind this rationale.

Lochte is an embarrassment to the USA.

Exactly. I suppose that's largely the type of people a sport like swimming attracts unfortunately.

I'm pretty ashamed Mrs Wacky has had a crush on him for so long. She's always been into douches tho.  :cry:

Swimming is a sport that requires money if you want top coaches and programs; granted not all swimmers are snobby, entitled athletes.

The US and Italy men's volleyball match is some really great play.  I have it on in the background at my office.

In that 1st set, the USA men were trying to mimick the USA Women breakdown as they let a 15-8 and 21-17 lead slip away (lost 30-28). Anderson and Russel were bad early on. Anderson just 6/20 on spikes, Russel 7/17 with 3 spikes out of bounds.

But they have rebounded nicely so far.  They were down 20-16 in the 2nd, rallied to win 28-26.

Now we are just spanking them in the 3rd. Got up 18-4.  Won 25-9

We are up 2 sets to 1. 4th set just starting

Anderson is killing us.  Up 22-20, he gets blocked for a point, then hits a spike out of bounds....this allowed Italy best server to keep serving bombs.  He then got 3 straight aces.  6 straight pts for Italy and they win 25-22.
If Anderson just spikes that one in....its 23-21 us, just 2 pts away

But we are on to play the 5th set...

USA just choking all over themselves. 
In the 5th set....
We have 3 service errors
Russel botched 2 float serves from Italy
We hit 2 spikes out of bounds
We watched an ace land in as 2 players couldn't decide who was gonna try and hit it
Russel watched a 50/50 ball land in ( cant do this).  Don't let it land and set up for a spike

That was 9 of Italy's first 13 pts in the 5th.  We just gave away the game with mental/physical miscues. Erie similar to USA women loss in Semis. 

Men Lise 15-9 in the 5th.  Anderson and Russel were pretty poor most of the match. Should have played Holt more

I thought the women had a collapse yesterday but the men raised the bar of late game awfulness.

Did our relay team make the final? The group that have to rerun their race?
