    Mari isn't a phenomen in reception,Fe Garay is better but Natalia is very poor!

    Great , awesome defence work from Logan Tom!

    I agree, Garay is better than Mari in all facets of the game. Mari's reception and defense is just slightly better than Natalia...but Natalia has potential upside.


    Jacqueline is a better receiver but she's not the best attacker. IMHO, Paula is still the best OH of Brazil followed by Garay then Jacqueline.


    Speaking of OHs, to me, Logan Tom is clearly one of the best in the world if not the best.

    i think fabiana suddenly lost her ability to block... :down:

    USA NT has not STACY SYKORA!


    USA will be much much better with Sykora. She's a fantastic digger and a reliable receiver. Davis is still inconsistent.


    What USA is lacking right now is a dominant OH, Hodge is potential. I'd be very interested how Klineman will do internationally.



    EDIT:


    Should USA win this, Logan Tom for MVP!
