USA is suddenly playing with tales between their legs. Gotta be more decisive and aggressive with those hits a simple tip is not gonna do it at this stage.
2018 FIVB World Championship - Japan

I can't believe what just happened
-
setting is gonna be the US's downfall...
-
Why did you lose that first set, Netherlands!
-
Why is USA serving the libero all match? They have Plak and Buijs.. I meaaan it's not rocket science
-
Karch seem to think a substitution would solve the problem that's happening in front of him...doesn't seem to have another gameplan. That is simply ridicolous.

Believe it. It's gonna be a replay of the match against China.
Take a deep breath, it will fix everything.

Today match is a 'how to waste a wonderful oppotunity' lesson.
Featuring Ned in the first set, USA in third and 4th.
And now USA lost his chance to get directly to the semi: if they lose they're out, if they win their destiny is again in other hands...
-
the two setter from the US have the exactly same style, same problems! You don't get anything new subbting one with another.

If they win they will advance cause:
(1) if China wins tomorrow, Netherlands will be out;
(2) If Netherlands beats China 3:0 or 3:1, China will be out;
(3) If Netherlands beats China 3:2, all teams will have same score and same set ratio. As in the first match both USA and China scored 104 points, and USA will score more points than Netherlands if they win today, it is impossible for both Netherlands and China to have better point ratio than USA.

Same for the opposites. They have to be left handed, rather weak and not called Hooker or Fawcett.
-
it's all sloetjes right now... wow.
-
Karsta Lowe and her service today =
-
lowe should not be allowed to serve ever again.

I'm very new this forums and one thing I've noticed is how a lot of the posters here can be very dismissive and frankly rude. I think every team worked hard to get here and a bit disrectful to say that they don't matter or that they're irrelevant.
haha this is NCAA level ball except for sloejtes. and they have zero percent of championship hope. im sorry if i'm not being pc enough for you.

Please take this win Sloetjes, you deserve it!

What you're seeing is the US specifically Karch's system in play. When they stray away from it this team looks like a serious contender but somehow (coach' call, im assuming) they always revert back to it. We have the athletes but were limiting them.

what a comeback. and what a collapse...
-
Congrats, NED!!! I take my words back, you're not that bad after all
-
Maybe not such a terrible, mentally weak team after all. Well played Netherlands. USA...
