Rafael is doing a very good job

24-22 for Bulgaria 1st set... crazy match

Russia won next 2 sets 22-20 and 27-25... really great match from both teams, shame even Bulgaria youngs will take 4th place...

Russia won 3-1... I am sorry for Bulgaria as they had nice chances tonight....

Now we are waiting for the big Final

Wooden champions forever

First set 29-27 for Brazil.

Serbia just did not deserve to win it after playing such relaxed and allowing opponents to come back

Brazil is making so much technical errors like receiving and especially setting ball - their setter is just mediocre (tonight or always I do not know) and I would never give them gold medal with such play, hope also Kolakovic won't.

Serbia won 2nd set set 21-15 with Petkovic instead of Atanasijevic who lost compas after 1st set.

Go on, guys!

how MUCH chances do you need to make break point idiots???

Atanasijevic, go to hell!

Atanasijevic is back and that is good sign!

Concentrate on the 5th set and take gold medal!

congrats Brazil

Did Serbia have setpoints in the 1st set?

Damn Brazil, I should say congratulations, but can they not spoil a tournament for me for once...

MVP: Ricardo Lucarelli ( i think Rafael deserved this award, Lucarelli only played 3 games...)
Opposite: Aleksandar Atanasijevic (Serbia)
Recievers: Uros Kovacevic and
Filip Stoilovic (both from Serbia)
Middle blockers: Matheus Cunda
( Brazil) and Ventsislav Ragin
( Bulgaria)
Setter: Dmitry Kovalev (Russia)
Libero: Guilherme Kachel (Brazil)

Congratulations to Brazil!

I was cocking an eye on this match at the tie-break and I'm glad Brazil managed to win. Serbia brought a good roster and almost defeated us. Rubinho is a great coach and knows how to work on his teams.
Well... at least we won one under championship this year and we were able to break Russia winning streak here. I guess they could build a better roster and be more competitive if they wanted. It was more important to us as host.
Rafael played pretty well and could help us out again. I agree he deserved MVP awards but it's FIVB and its comic ceremony. Sometimes they crack me up with their choices after a tense match. Not yesterday but almost always...
