The USA men's Olympic volleyball team has put on an extraordinary performance to rally back from an 0-2 start to its Olympic showing. Now with a 2-2 record and wins over tough teams Brazil and France, USA has a much better chance of advancing to the playoffs.
However, with all the craziness in Pool A--Italy and USA both beating No. 1 ranked Brazil and Canada taking down the USA--and four teams with a 2-2 record and six points, there are still no guarantees.
The matches in tomorrow's final day of pool play will be critical for all teams except Italy. At 4-0, Italy is guaranteed a spot in the quarterfinals no matter what happens in its match versus Canada on Monday.
Here is the Pool A schedule for the final day of men's indoor volleyball pool play at 2016 Olympics:
USA vs. Mexico, 10:30 a.m. ET
Italy vs. Canada, 7:30 p.m. ET
