Their youth had big shoes to fill and high expectations to follow. Amanda and Rosamaria are average outside hitters. Drussyla is the only one that has potential. Ana Beatriz and Carol aren't the next Fabiana/Thaisa duo. They need to start developing their youth asap. They were memorable weren't they? Got used to seeing them, along with Shelia, Jaqueline and Tandera for so long it just dosen't feel the same watching Brazil without them. The new players so far aren't making much of an impression.

She also had a nose job. But that seems to have happened post 2012. Butt implants too.

I was just rewatching the 2008 Gold medal match and man, was Thaisa almost unrecognizable without the uh... enhancements. I’ve really enjoyed watching her compete over the years. Her latest injury was devastating to watch. Great career and awesome accomplishments! Man, that 2008 Brazilian team has got to be my favourite Olympic team ever. Every starter was at least top 10 in their respective positions, most of them top 5 and they just played beautiful volleyball. Would have loved to seen that team square off with the 2016 Chinese Team lol, that match would be a treat.

Good gawd, what kind of transition is that? lol Same kind of transition as talking about a fantastic player retiring and then start talking about her bosoms and kiester. Also, Dani Lins just announced her retirement from the national team. Kinda seems like there is the start of a Zé Roberto boycott amongst the players.

They may not like him but he’s a proven winner as a coach. Karch on the other hand...

Honestly......I think Ze Roberto tried to hold on a little too long to his 2008/2012 golden players. As a result he kept other talented players on the bench when he should have been integrating them into the starting line-up. If Brazil has this roster of 12 for the OG they will be just fine (provided all are healthy and still members of the NT) S: Roberta, Macris OH: Natalia, Fe Garay, Gabi, Drussyla MB: Adenezia, Carol, Ana Beatriz Opp: Tandara, Rosamaria L: Suelen There are probably some other’s that could fill in mb and OH that would be better choices but I’m not as familiar with the teams/players in the Superliga. I might add Bruna Honorio (Minas) or Tiffany Abreu (Osasco) but with the latter player the FIVB won’t allow Trans players to participate. All of these retiring players have earned their summers with their families and in many cases....young children.

Looks like Drussyla is out as well. Who will be left at this rate. Brazil has players who are injured, retiring, taking time off, and or refused to join. I wouldn't be surprised if we hear more players opting out in the coming days/weeks. Something smells fishy and it ain't the expired sardines in my pantry. webvolei.com.br/2019/04/problema-fisico-tira-drussyla-da-selecao/

They are nothing special for me
