As expected, the hosts made it all the way to the tournament final. They boast a perfect 4-0 record and their offense has been as explosive as it’s been spectacular. They seem unstoppable right now.

On the flip side, the United States up-and-coming team is quite inspired after coming back from the dead in the repechage and then knocking down South Korea in the semifinal. And they won’t settle for silver.
