USA Women Set For Water Polo World League Super Final

The US women will begin the 2016 Water Polo World League Super Final on Tuesday in Shanghai, China. The eight team event begins with a group stage over the next three days that will set the matchups for the quarterfinals. The knockout rounds will go all the way to 7th/8th place games so the US will play on six straight days no matter what.

The US has won the last two Super Finals and nine of the 12 in history with only China the only to break the US run since 2008. They joined in Group B by Spain, Canada, and Brazil.

The US will be heavily favored to win this group.
