I jus[quote='TimHH','index.php?page=Thread&postID=323220#post323220']Quarterfinals:
Allison/Bruno vs. Dalhauser/Lucena (21 CET)
Nummerdor/Varenhorst vs. Brouwer/Meeuwsen (22 CET)
Nicolai/Lupo vs. Liamin/Barsuk (04 CET)
Semenov/Krasilnikov vs. Diaz/Gonzalez (05 CET)
USA vs. Brazil already in the quarters. Given the overall eveness of the men's field i would not consider this match an early final but for sure that is going to be the emotional highlight so far for this tournament.
I admit i haven't seen much of the tournament, so my predictions are rather "out of stomach" and of personal preference (i want to see Reinder with a medal )
My pick for the semis:
Lucena/Dalhauser vs. Nummerdor/Varenhorst
Nicolai/Lupo vs. Semenov/Krasilnikov[/quo
I just read your post now, and for you not picking Alison/Bruno for the semis it reallys shows u haven't been watching beach volleyball at all ololololo
Alison and Bruno are the defending World Champion , ranked 1 and clearly favorites for gold, and Alison is still playing with a ankle injured.
And both dutch teams along with Evandro and Pedro were favorite to reach the semis and challenge Alison and Bruno.
The semi Alison/Bruno vs Brouwer/Meeuwsen was supposed to be the final and not the semi final
