TODAY's First Game  USA  4- 0  (3 players?)  vs Spain  3-1 (4 players and from a much
tougher Group , group B).   TOTAL POINTS:  USA  84 points,  21 points per game,  Spain
70 total points,  17.5 points per game. The game is at  9:05 AM today, Friday.
         So, USA loses their tallest  player: Arianna.  Here is Spain's Roster;
Ines Monje   186 cm   =  73.22 inches  =   6 feet  1 inch +
Jana  Martin   170 cm =  66. 92 inches =   5 feet   7 inches
Lucia  Palmer  191 cm =  75.19 inches =    6 feet   3 inches +; ..  Sarah is   190 cm = 174.80 inches   6 ' 2"  + ( but stronger)
Naia  Rojo     180  cm  =  70.866 inches =  5 feet   11 inches
            So  Spain vs USA ...   with the USA at 6' 1" ,  6' 1", and  6 '  2"  +
Group B, IMHO, was a tougher draw with both FRANCE and HUNGARY being knocked out!
Tired legs for the USA as the games progress?  Spain and other teams "better" with their
chemistry and experience in tougher games??   NOTE, the USA was never tested.... Now we get
one of the more TESTED teams with Spain.   Alternate point of view:  USA is the BEST DEFENSIVE TEAM
in the tournament??  eg  blocked shots?  or was it just the lesser competition with less offense?
          Here is the new Bracket: (Quarterfinal matchups)
 UKRAINE   3-0  vs  China   2 - 1
USA  4-0 vs Spain  3 - 1
opposite bracket:    Germany 4-0  ( THESE LADIES WIN THE CLOSE GAMES!!)
                                 Poland  3-1 
and   Japan    3 - 0   vs  Mexico  2 -1       GREAT GAMES AHEAD! GO SARAH, GO  JASMINE!
Go Saniyah! and cheer them home, Arianna!!     Z
