Wow, Brazil looks like they could take on Russia. Looks like 2006 out there.

Italy came out firing in the third, I think they were up 8-5 first TTO, but now Brazil is back in control 17-13.

It could have been a better semis had Brazil faced USA instead of Italy. USA is Brazil's weakness...Oh well. The Italians just came out flat. Only Savani played well. Zaytsev and Lasko were a step slower, Travica the setter was very tentative.
Congrats to Brazil. I hope Russia takes the title.

Yeah, we are really a better team than the Italians, and we match up better with Brazil, but a major strategic oversight (Not serving Zaytsev) and really lackluster play did us in. |

Still not over us serving the wrong players. I don't think I ever will be. I really think it would've been a different game if we'd committed to serving Zaytsev early. |

The game tomorrow wiil be very hard for us and i belive that in 3x2 for someone. And the game today will be very very hard for both teams but Brazil now is very strong and usa has to do a very good serve to win us.with USA wins we happy with de silver. For us the most amazing game was with Russia, we hate her, but we love the american girls,logan hooker and company.sorry for my english.
