Sorry but the men team were a bigger disappointment, they got no medal this year, not in the World League nor the World Championships. I don’t even think they got to the final 6 in WC. The liberos were terrible and some of the players called in made me scratch my head.
So I think they need to give the women’s team a little slack, especially when they seem to be fine with the men’s team terrible performance.
