103 match winning streak for the US team, Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh. I wonder who will win this ;)

Announcer: "She is receiving more balls" hehehee That's right, I'm that immature ;)
by Jonathan Keebler at 8/14/2008 1:09:09 AM
It's 12-5 for USA but the Norwegians are much louder :)
by Jonathan Keebler at 8/14/2008 1:09:14 AM
Fun fact: the Norwegians have opted to be called by their first names and the Americans want to go by their last names. *HEAD EXPLODES*
by Jonathan Keebler at 8/14/2008 1:13:06 AM
16-7, still in the first set. Norway needs to win this to advance
by Jonathan Keebler at 8/14/2008 1:14:15 AM
Misty May did the makerana on the Great Wall. Another fun fact from the announcers on CBC

It's 18-10 for USA on an ace from Norway

Kerri Walsh wants to start a family right after the Olympics. Once again, I'm not sure this is important to know right now, but whatever. I would pay for a video of that btw

hahah Cameraman just zoomed into Walsh's chest. Now I'm sure they are sexist...and sexy ;)
by Jonathan Keebler at 8/14/2008 1:24:08 AM
Now the announcer is talking about how the Norwegians had a lot of mystery illnesses this year. Eww
by Jonathan Keebler at 8/14/2008 1:24:39 AM
Huge block by Walsh. 5-4 USA
by Jonathan Keebler at 8/14/2008 1:24:58 AM
Another huge block by Walsh. Norway can't get by her at the net. 8-4 USA. Norway calls a timeout
by Jonathan Keebler at 8/14/2008 1:26:02 AM
Walsh pounds it into the sand. 9-5
by Jonathan Keebler at 8/14/2008 1:27:47 AM
Walsh lost her wedding ring in another match and lots of fans helped her sift the sand with a metal detector

Walsh is just unbeatable at the net. 18-14
by Jonathan Keebler at 8/14/2008 1:36:56 AM
Norway is always running around, always scrambling. USA is always in control and efficient. You can really see the difference in the level of these 2 teams.
by Jonathan Keebler at 8/14/2008 1:38:19 AM
19-15 on a great poke from Walsh
