I've been saying it for a few months now, Matt Anderson, West Seneca native, might be the breakout superstar of the Olympics. Dude was just murdering the ball today against (according to the announcers) a solid Serbian team in the first men's volleyball match of the Olympics. USA shut out the Serbs 3 sets to 0.
It is impossible to think that I was on the same team as Anderson in high school, jeez. You couldn't watch for more than a few moments without him getting some run from the announcers on NBC or him pounding a ball into the wood.
Evidently the two best teams are Brazil and Russia, so team USA isn't any type of favorite going into this thing so it will be interesting to see how it plays out. There are two groups of six teams with both Brazil and Russia in USA's group.
USA plays Germany Tuesday at 11:45 EST, Brazil Thursday at 3pm EST, Russia 8/4 at 11:45 and Tunisia 8/6 at 3pm.
Stay tuned, and follow Matt Anderson on twitter.
