World Championship Japan 2010

    according to fivb rules, the host country can givea a break to the teams during up to 10 minutes between second and third set... it occured yesterday in the game bra x japan, which helped brazil a lot to wn, imo..

    thanks for the info. Yeah i remember Japan-Poland where it helped Japan


    btw, GO USA!!!

    USA wins the 3rd 25:21


    One more set - go girls get it!!!

    5th set in the bronze medal match. Japan won the 4th 25:19.


    I'd rather take a 3-1 for the USA, but at least it's exciting now who can conquer the bronze medal...
    GO USA :box:

    Italy - Turkey 3:0
    Congratulation Italy! :)
    I expected 5 sets in this match and better attitude from Turkish side.
    Ortolani was very good today and of course Gioli and Arrighetti.

    omg! the US girls are killing themselves with these stupid errors. They seem to be very nervous now.


    I think it's over 13-8 JPN ;(

    JAPAN!!!!!!!!! my little heroes :heart: :heart: :heart: to see that happy face of Saori after the last ball was priceless, she worked so hard in this WCH as the whole team did. they deserved this bronze like nobody else. i'm so happy for them i'm about to cry xDDD


    Anyone can support a team that is winning - it takes no courage. But to
    stand behind a team to defend a team when it is down and really needs
    you, that takes a lot of courage.

    Congratulations Japan.


    You deserve the bronze. Among all teams, you play with the highest intensity and fire. Hats off to you! :obey:


    Since 2002, the winner in the Grand Prix always does not win the World Championship. A curse perhaps ... :cursing:

    I'm so happy for the Japanese bronze medal! They are great. :super: Thanks for this fantastic World championship!!! :rose: The whole team worked hard for this achievement. Hope it will be the start of a succesfull future.


    Saori and Yoshie :obey: :obey:


    Saori's tears were priceless.
