Bummer that the USA Men don't have any VNL matches on home soil.

[@LifelessVeemo]

After last year’s… result, it’s hard to argue in their favour

[@MarxZeff]

The women's team finished 4th at HOME while the men's team lost at the final.

@@MarxZeff I'm speaking mainly on the crowd turnout of the US week last year

[@MrChaseBlue]

@@LifelessVeemothe turnout for the US games were great! The turnout for the other games besides Iran? Sure, not so good.

I'm curious about this "pressure" that USA man team felt in Tokio. Was it internal? Because no disrespect, but I don't think it was external. It's not like in Poland that everyone talks and writes about you. Maybe I'm wrong though. Is public opinion in USA highly interested in men's volleyball team in Olympic year?

[@MrChaseBlue]

From my opinion, the pressure was all internal, and the coaching and lack of adjustments were not the best such as Speraw’s go-for-broke serving policy. Some people wanted it too much maybe, and also there was a sense that this was the last game for key players such as Anderson, Shoji, Smith, and Holt, which all ended up being untrue, but might have placed more pressure on them. No Aaron Russell was huge, and I don’t give a crap what anyone says, but Defalco was not mature enough to handle the pressure, and was not as good and consistent a player as he is now. His tantrums imo fueled disharmony in Tokyo.
As far as us general opinion about men’s volleyball, it’s almost non-existent from the most casual Olympic viewership. So pressure in Tokyo (and in Paris) will come from internally, as this is truly now the last go at the Olympics by at least a half of the starting roster.

TJ Defalco in money time transforms into legendary Italian player: Gianfranco Obsranco (Polish inside joke cause obsranko means to shit one's pants).
