    *** Seems that most of these matches are determined via what seeded teams' win or lose in the knockout rounds. Therefore they're All TBD right now. ***

    I'm just saying, USA is playing its 2nd team and the only real challenge they had was the first set vs. DR (2nd strongest in NORCECA). I feel like they're facing Canada in the semis then DR again in the finals. Bartschy for MVP.

    But this is like, the EuroVolley for Americans!

    Yeah but you can't even compare the level, they could won at least silver even with U18.

    I think its alright for them to play in this tournament. They barely even played during world cup anyways.

    The point, originally, of a few posters (pages ago) was that the US has some specific players, now on the Norceca roster, who are being kept from joining their pro teams; whose seasons are just starting up. Many international leagues are firing up; some of their marquee Americans will not be joining them until after.

    Eh....I'm pretty sure each club knows of the scheduled commitments of the NT players when they signed them. I dont realy care for this tournament either but if this is the group that we're sending to Tokyo then I'm fine with it. I think it's a welcome moment TBH.


    We have, unfortunately, the disadvantage of being scattered around the world during pro season so they normally don't get this much time together. We also have 2 new setters, a whole group of new MB's not to mention a system and a libero situation that still needs figuring out. Its a pretty tiny window to address all that after the club season and before 2020 OG so we might as well take advantage of this opportunity now.

    Wait... So you saying, Hill, bartsch, tori and lower are TeamB? 😂


    Just because they are playing against less strong team and they are now Team B?


    So, if akinradewo, adams come back who will be team A and B and C?


    I still believe kiraly has a purpose why carlini wasn't playing that much in world cup.


    Coming olympics next yr. It's everyone ball game
