USA as Good as Qualified for Water Polo World League After Defeating Kazakhstan

The US men, now 3-0 in qualifying for the Water Polo World League, are as good as qualified from the six team intercontinental tournament. A 19-7 win over Kazakhstan makes the US 3-0 with an uncompetitive China team still to come. Bret Bonanni was the offensive star scoring nine goals in the game. John Mann and Alex Roelse each had three goals. McQuin Barron had a team-high five saves in.

The US will face 2-1 Brazil on Friday. Brazil has qualified for the last four World Leagues and finished third last year, defeating the US in the bronze medal game on penalties.
