Has Kurek been playing this well all tournament? Haven't seen this from him in years.

Ah, there’s the classic Bruno-Lucas connection we haven’t seen much today

Souza is just an absolute blocking monster, putting on a clinic today

Lucarelli’s having a nice match so far, fighting off the serves and also doing quite well offensively

Brazil wins 3-1! Dang, they executed very well and are just so skilled. There were a lot of good defensive touches especially against Leon. And I must say, Poland’s serving pressure faded as the match went on and Brazil was consistently getting Poland out of system/off the net with their own serve.

Poland better step up their game. Brazil doesn't have those weaknesses in serve receive like Slovenia. And Bruno won't just toss a high ball up to the outsides if things aren't perfect. Brazil also has better serving. The only player that made a difference offensively for Poland was Kurek. Slovenia did a great job slowing down production from the left side. Calling a 3-1 for Brazil if Poland doesn't up their level of play. And bloop! 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

BTW - at full strength USA matches up very well against Brazil imo

This really was a great championship match until a little over halfway into that 3rd set. So many great moments (Wallace's solo block on Leon and Kubiak, everything Kurek did in set 1, Leon kick-saving his own ball while in mid-air) but the best moment had to be when Brazil did the synchronized attack with the pin, middle, and Lucas out of the back row all flying to attack the ball. Reminded me so much of Haikyuu!

BTW - at full strength USA matches up very well against Brazil imo Oh most definitely! Not only because we're a better serving/passing team, but because we can also rely on multiple players to get us a kill OOS. And I think it doesn't hurt that we've seen them so many times in win-or-go-home situations 😅
