Never said this. They exist to make money. They are not always right, but they wouldn't exist if they were wrong more than half the time.

Thread for the games & discussion.


Man this team, I love that the US is still up on the medal count!


We definitely should have sent a 3v3 team for the Mens tbh.


mens failed to qualify for 3v3.
women qualified.
