Practicing twice a day since September 6, the squad is in good spirits and enjoying themselves. USA won, 6-3. The expanded seating now fits approximately 4,000 spectators and is adorned in more flags and banners than you can count. It is an acoustic dream, which when filled to the brim with the sold out audiences that are expected, will be deafeningly loud music to the ears of those who have helped elevate women s water polo to where it is today.

People are at different phases of how they feel.
Some people feel are starting to feel good now, some people felt good yesterday some people felt good yesterday and feel lousy today. It takes a while for everyone to get on the same clock again. It s all going to play itself out. I think that it ll be close to call for anyone. I still think that Australia and Holland look great on paper, Canada has improved a lot, and Russia is still the team that beat Italy in Italy to qualify for the Olympic Games.
