Also, Argentina's journey throughout the tournament has been amazing to watch. Brazil is certainly a top team, but it's kinda weird to see them dominate VNL finals but then fail to medal at the Olympics. I mean they certainly have elite talent but the execution just wasn't there when they needed it.

I mean they certainly have elite talent but the execution just wasn't there when they needed it. For me, what makes it extra special is the fact that Argentina came to VNL with just those 9 players and made it work until the rest of the team could join them. It was a battle from then on. They've been fighting for months just to compete and, when the time came, they showed what they could do. |

So this probably pushes some of Brazil's older players to stay for a bit longer?

This Olympics has been crazy and sort of special. I think ARG winning bronze portends the French men and US women winning.

I'm not active enough or know enough about Men's VB to know why people don't like Brazil. So, why are people so happy Brazil lost? For me it's a couple of things. In 2016, the Brazilian fans did the US dirty by constantly booing the US and literally no other team. Also, I don't like teams that constantly whine, hence my dislike for Poland as well. Bernadino, Brazil's former coach, was so dramatic it left a bad taste in my mouth, so I wasn't surprised when he was suspended from coaching after he rolled a ball on the court during play and tried to blame it on the ball boy. |
