The only thing worse than China right now are those British announcers.

At this point, can anyone beat Brazil? Netherlands will have to pounce on every opportunity they get

Netherlands will have to pounce on every opportunity they get Well considering they played in a pool where the other 3 advancing teams got swept in the quarterfinals, and now are playing a team that finished 4th in their pool, I don't think that Brazil's results to date should be any strong indicator of how they will play against team U.S.A., or those two Euro teams, if I'm being honest. |

25-15, Brazil crushes China in set one. Only bright spot for China was Zhu Ting

So, is the generalized booing by the Brazilian fans of the opposing team at every serve standard behavior? I noticed it today even during the USA/Japan match when they booed during USA serves.

I'm sorry but Russia and China suck.. Is Brazil good, yes.. but they are not unbeatable... China is just horrible right now. I'm not sure Brazil has been challenged yet.

Brazil should have to play Serbia in the semi's... Watching it on our TV via the Roku NBC app, and it stopped briefly to buffer--when it came back, we now have the Spanish announcers and we can't get it to change back! |

Brazil definitely hasn't been challenged as much as other teams, but they're playing well and in front of a home crowd... Not unbeatable but tough considering the circumstances. Their defense and serve receive has been good so far |

So one thing is clear about the olympics in 2016... All the teams from 2012 were better.
