I just finished watching the men’s volleyball match between USA and Russia. USA won 3-2 and is now in the finals. First time in 20 years!! They said it’s hard to come from behind, but it’s much harder to come from ahead. USA lead 2-0, only to let the Russians catch up to 2-2. They gave everything they had and won 15-13 in the 5th game. OMG…it’s 2AM in the morning. So late, but it was totally worth it. Olympic games are so addictive. I can’t keep doing this every night
Go USA!!!
Volleyball!

Wow good news! I could only watch 3 sets, then it was already 1AM… 
It was a huge accomplishment to beat the more talented Russian team! Good team work was the key!
Can’t wait to watch the final!!

Yea, the Russians were pounding the ball so hard during 3rd and 4th set that most of the time our guys can’t even touch the balls. They were also giving away a lot of points because of missed serves; that certainly didn’t help. Some how it started clicking for them again in the 5th set and they got it done!!
