USA Volleyball, in conjunction with NBC and the U.S. Olympic Committee, will host three matches as part of a 2008 Olympic Exhibition series between the U.S. Women’s National Team and Brazil during June prior to the FIVB World Grand Prix and the Olympic Games in Beijing.
All three matches will be played in Colorado Springs between June 11 and June 14.
Yeah...this already came out in Brazilian news too!
I think is good for both teams...and defiently will be great games....
someone knows if they will show this matches on tv here in Brazil????
Hope to see the USA team playing with its best players, otherwise it will be useless for Brazil's Team to play such matches
opposite: Nancy Metcalf
outside hitters: Tayyba Haneef and Logan Tom
middle-blockers: Heather Bown and Danielle Scott or Heather Bown and Jennifer Joines
setters: Robyn Ah-Mow or Lindsey Berg
Liberro: Sykora or Nicole Daves
Well, since these friendly matches will be useful to USA as well, I think they will go with full force. Ok, maybe one or other player missing, but still the main team...
USA played missing the services of Haneef-Park and some other veterans. Newbie's Foluke Akinradewo, Cynthia Barboza, Kim Willoughby played...
Nancy Metcalg didn't play either. As for Brazil, Jaqueline didn't play, but considering the 14 players of the roster, one can say we played with the complete team.
