From <strong>Seiya Adachi<\/strong>, all 5-8 of him, torching the U.S. for seven goals, to the American\u2019s exceptionally porous defense\u2014Japan connected on 40% of their 37 shots\u2014to the inability of <strong>Ben Hallock<\/strong> and <strong>Chancellor Ramirez<\/strong> to exploit their substantial size advantage against Japanese defenders <strong>Mitsuak Shiga<\/strong> and <strong>Keigo Okawa<\/strong>; start to finish this was an unmitigated disaster for a young U.S. squad seeking to find its way.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Alex Rosele<\/strong>, whose main contribution\u2014despite being a full foot taller than Adachi\u2014was to get rolled after only eight minutes of pool time, conveyed the bewilderment he and his teammates experienced during and after the match.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In this game we were just unable to complete the things we were aiming for,\u201d he said, in an understatement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI definitely don&#8217;t think this is a true representation of how strong our team can be,\u201d Roselle added, grasping for an elusive positive.<\/p>\n<p>One might suggest\u2014following a lackluster performance against Croatia and the debacle with the Japanese\u2014that this may exactly be what the U.S. is right now. An unexpected win Friday against Group D foe Russia may push them into the play-in for the quarterfinals, but how much further could Team USA be expected to go?<\/p>\n<p>Contrast the Americans&#8217; struggles with the inspired performance of the Italian team and their ageless netminder, <strong>Stefano Tempesti<\/strong>. Italy&#8217;s success thus far generates the unbridled excitement one might expect from contests between the world\u2019s best teams.<\/p>\n<p>Tempesti may be splitting time with <strong>Goran Volarevic<\/strong>, but for the all-important second half of his team\u2019s most critical contest in group play, Italy\u2019s head coach <strong>Alessandro Campagna<\/strong> tapped his most experienced netminder.<\/p>\n<p>The once retired 38 year-old\u2014a veteran of five Olympics (2000-16)\u2014did not disappoint.<\/p>\n<p>With Hungary on the power play and less than a minute left in the third quarter of a tie match, Tempesti dove first to his left for a save on <strong>Denes Varga<\/strong>, then to his right on a <strong>Balazs Erdelyi<\/strong> shot. To further frustrate the 6,000 plus Hungarians packed into the grandstands, Tempesti stood tall on a subsequent breakaway, denying Erdelyi again to keep the score knotted at seven\u2014a tie <strong>Nicholas Presciutti<\/strong> broke seconds later, giving Italy an 8-7 lead.<\/p>\n<p>That the Italians and Hungarians would end the day tied with three points in group play, with a single goal scored separating the two teams, seems fitting in the strongest group on the men\u2019s side of the bracket. With Australia edging France 11-10 in the day&#8217;s opening match, goal differential is likely to determine whether Italy\u2014which finishes group play on Friday against the Aussies\u2014or Hungary, with a match against the French, will claim Group B&#8217;s top spot and a bye into the quarterfinals.<\/p>\n<p>If Spain had hopes of challenging for second in Group C, they were dashed by the Serbian juggernaut. On the strength of two <strong>Andrija Prlainovic<\/strong> goals, Serbia broke out to a 5-1 first half lead on its way to an 11-5 win. Barring an unexpected outcome against undefeated Greece, <strong>Dejan Savic\u2019s<\/strong> squad is virtually certain to clinch the group, with Greece, an 18-2 winner against South Africa, content to trail the Serbs in the group standings.<\/p>\n<p>Given Team USA\u2019s struggles, the picture for Group D is quite clear. Croatia\u2014by virtue of a narrow 10-8 win Wednesday over Russia\u2014is the likely group winner, no matter how they perform against the suddenly dangerous Japanese. Barring a major upset by the Americans\u2014their coach <strong>Dejan Udovicic<\/strong> vowed: &#8220;We are going to fight until the end&#8221;\u2014Russia will place second, with Japan taking the third spot and advancing to a play-in match for a quarterfinal berth.<\/p>\n<p>In Group A play there was further heartbreak for North America, as Canada\u2014fresh off a remarkable comeback Monday against Montenegro\u2014lost a see-saw match as Kazakhstan tallied two fourth quarter goals to beat the Canadians 9-8.<\/p>\n<p>A decisive 14-5 victory over Brazil puts Montenegro at the top of Group A with three points, followed by Brazil and Kazakhstan with two apiece, and Canada with one.<\/p>\n<p>North America still has one last hope for a play-in spot; if Canada can topple the Brazilians on Friday they may finish as high as second; something to celebrate amidst the gloom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Americans\u2019 failure on Wednesday to secure a win in what now appears to have been their lone opportunity for group play points threatened to overshadow what was the most<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4875,"featured_media":266849,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"dois","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[12],"tags":[59716,30795,62651,51740,62653,47734,62283,4256,27241,62598,62652,62650,62649,62648,62600],"class_list":["post-266848","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-water-polo","tag-2017-fina-world-championships","tag-alessandro-campagna","tag-alex-roselle","tag-andrija-prlainovic","tag-balazs-erdelyi","tag-ben-hallock","tag-chancellor-ramirez","tag-dejan-savic","tag-dejan-udovicic","tag-denes-varga","tag-goran-volarevic","tag-keigo-okawa","tag-mitsuak-shiga","tag-seiya-adachi","tag-stefano-tempesti"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\r\n<title>Japan Shocks U.S.;
