(Canada’s loss to Belgium in 4 as an example) but not a thing. I was also including professional sports teams in that group but I guess if you you're just talking about the national teams, you're probably right Either way definitely hoping for a victory in a few hours!

NearPup 3,014 Posted October 8, 2023 #292 Share Posted October 8, 2023 really doesn’t deserve to be bailed out by a team that was playing for pride (and ranking points). …still obviously really happy about it. But the team really doesn’t deserve to be in a position where it controls its own destiny vs . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh 10,310 Posted October 8, 2023 #294 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Canada goes 2-0 up, taking the second set 25-21! Canada was 20-10 up at one point… El Analyzer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangeman 1,979 Posted October 8, 2023 #295 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Hard to complain about being up 2-0, but here I go! That was not a great second half of set 2. Yikes. But just one more! Josh and El Analyzer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh 10,310 Posted October 8, 2023 #296 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Against all odds, qualifies for the Olympics, as they take the third set 25-15, and defeat Mexico 3-0!

NearPup 3,014 Posted October 8, 2023 #298 Share Posted October 8, 2023 qualifying is a really pleasant surprise, both in the broader context but especially after the terrible performance against yesterday. Third Olympics in a row for the team is quite special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
