And the predictions go like this... Semifinals Brazil 3-1 USA I think USA can take a set, but Brazil just has too much talent and too many weapons. Italy 3-2 Russia I saw TV coverage of Serbia v Russia last night (will post on this shortly), and was amazed to see Russia playing some great defence. Italy can do this too, though, and I just think coach Montali has found the right mix in their team. Bronze medal game USA 3-1 Russia A bronze means more to USA than it does to Russia - I think that will make the difference. Gold medal game Brazil 3-2 Italy If this is the final match-up, I think it will be one of the great games. These are the two best ball control teams in the world. On view will be the world's best setter (Ricardo), best middle blocker (Fei), best outside (Giba) and best libero (Sergio), and probably the best all-round player in history (Giani - not dissing Karch here, but Giani has proven himself to be world-class as an opposite, middle or outside). The pool match was a coin toss between the two teams. I just hope (a) this is the final and (b) I get to see it
