Considering that Brazil is especially invincible in important competition, I think this is a pretty good reason ...
And Russia, we have beaten them with great fight and with even more luck! If we wanna beat them again we must become strong - twice times more than in December and for Brazil - 4 times. Because Brazil, the only team who REALLY can beat Brazil is neither Bulgaria, neither Russia and Poland - this is France! The only team who is playing like Brazil in defence.
the only team who REALLY can beat Brazil (...) this is France!
Thanks for the laugh ! 
I needed it !
But you're not completely wrong about it, France can beat Brazil (or almost any other team) , the sole problem being they would lost to Germany (or almost any other team) the day following...
The fact is, before considering beating Brazil in OG, France hould consider building a team that is actually able to qualify to OG ... 
Armel, nobody can persuade me in the factm that Brazil didn't want desperately to win the first match last year in the finals in Katowitce in the world league and to assure hey presence in the semi-finals.... but they have lost. So, invisible, but still, thanks to the system and a little bit luck they've progressed to the semi-finals, but the three teams had 1 win and 1 loss, so we come to thing how good is the system with only two matches played in the finals of the world league...deffinitely stupid one. And it's also fact that some people try to underestimate the victories of Bulgaria against Brazil in 2006 and 2007 as these are the only losses for Brazil in the important tournaments Iwith an exception of the match France - Brazil WC 2006 where France won). So I don't think brazilians should think that they are invincible, if they do it it will be the best present for all the others teams wanting and having chances for the Olympic Gold such as Bulgaria, Russia, USA.
We have couple of matches more, but after Australia lost to South Korea it seems that Italy and Japan are very close to Bejing. So, I don't think we will have any big surprise in Tokyo tournament. After amaizing game against Japan, Italians didn't even lose a set in next matches...

Favourites (Italy and Japan) have qualified. Not surprising. I am a little bit disapointed by Australian performance. I thought, they would fight harder.
