More drama: U.S. men’s volleyball team rallies into the semifinals Americans still marching forward toward gold Israel GutierrezMcClatchy Newspapers The U.S. men haven’t medaled since the 1992 Games, and it has a chance to secure one against Russia, the second ranked team in the world. The U.S. is ranked third.
“A real important thing for us is to maybe play with a little more heart than they do, play a little bit more tactically than they do and just fight,” Ball said. “Getting a team like Russia, it’s tough to get a 3-0 (sweep), but we feel the longer we stay on the court, the better chance we have of winning.” Friday, the U.S. team stayed extended its match as long as it could. And the drama continues. “I couldn’t nap thinking about playing in the quarterfinal,” Priddy said. “It’s almost like there’s more pressure in that game than there is in a semifinal or final. Because you lose and you go home, there’s no chance for a medal. ”I’d be lying if I said we weren’t anxious.“
