While Team USA supporters want the US squad to continue their 59th consecutive Olympics win, the New York Liberty admirers are puzzled since they will be clashing against Sandy Brondello’s Opals. In one place, they have Breanna Stewart and Sabrina Ionescu – two of the core New York Liberty stars. On the other side, they have to square off against the Opals’ head coach Sandy Brondello who has also been the Liberty’s head coach since 2022. Noting the same, New York fans took to the social media networking site X to express their dilemma.

“Sandy brondello finna cu*s Stewie and Sabrina out once wnba season begins again for the way USA is beating Australia right now lol,” one fan stated. The user was cracking a joke on the fact that once the WNBA season begins after the current Olympics both Stewie and Ionescu will have to go back to being coached by Brondello who might cu*s them if they win against the Opals in the semis.

Brondello assumed the role of the Opals head coach in April 2017 and even led them to the quarterfinals against Team USA where they lost by a 79-55 margin in the Tokyo Olympics 2020. Even in that game, Stewart had been the chief decimator who scored 23 points to put an end to Brondello’s dream. Now, one can only imagine the tense atmosphere in the New York Liberty locker room when Brondello must have assumed the coaching position in 2022.

This time Stewart and Ionescu will once again be at loggerheads against Brondello, making use of their Liberty experience and already anticipating some of her moves before the game and revealing the secrets to their teammates. Thus, Team USA is the favorite to win this game looking at their unbeaten Olympic streak. But, the other thing is also possible. Brondello might make use of her newfound knowledge after working with Stewart and Ionescu and might give some super crucial tips to her squad. And fans shared their perspective on the same.

New York Liberty fans share their views on Sandy Brondello’s next game

“it’s so funny how sandy brondello is coaching against 2 people on her team lmao,” one fan commented that it was a funny situation since Brondello was coaching two of Team USA members, and she would be testing the waters against them in the upcoming clash with the Opals at Paris.

“I know Sandy Brondello is pissed right now,” one user commented. The Opals last won a bronze medal in the Olympics in 2012 in London. Hence, Brondello is seeking a medal after they failed to win one in Rio de Janeiro and Tokyo and the last time too, the Americans had defeated Australia to stop their journey.

What’s your perspective on:

Can Breanna Stewart and Sabrina Ionescu put friendship aside for Olympic glory? Who will come out on top?

Have an interesting take?

“Sandy Brondello… I apologize cuz you with the Liberty, but we had to pack you up 😭😭😭,” another fan took to the social media networking X and expressed how difficult it was for him to take sides. Notably, Brondello’s coaching had propelled the Liberty to reach the Finals against the Las Vegas Aces during the WNBA 2023. Hence, when the loyal fan had to ditch Brondello to side with the USA, he was shattered.
