    "nightmare opening-day defeat"

    That was a nightmare all right - in the 3rd set it was Japan 23, Italy 17, and Japan LOST it!

    I'm so glad they lost that game with all the bragging they were doing. To act like they did and not having even won the game was completely disgraceful and disrepectful to their opponents. And don't even get me started about their coach. They really need to take some manners in basic sportsmanship from the Japanese womens team.

    I'd like to see the J-men play the J-women; the latter are so much better they'd give the former a true spanking. I doubt the men will qualify for the Olympics, but best of luck anyhow.
