The Olympic Games in Beijing - Elimination Round

Usa is serving Mari exclusively and she is responding

Also Fofao is using Sheila too much

BRA - USA 1:0 That's not surprising...
USA leading 12-7 in the second set, on the other hand...is surprising.

3-1 Brazil anyone??

3-1 Brazil anyone??

Not if the US keep playing like this and Brazil makes these many mistakes.

well, they can always regroup in the 3rd set

They probably will.

I hope they regroup! Disappointed Brazil lost in football women's. Did Marta play?

they better give us a GOLD MEDAL match.

Yes, Marta played, but the US defense was great, they didn't let her pass.

Although I guess USA will lose to USA , USA alrealy broke their record because BRA at leas lost one set in olympics la.

Cuba seemed to be one of the greatest favorites of the OG after the group stage, but played really bad in 1/2 and bronze medal match. They made more mistakes than Poland usually does, which is difficult...
I hope Brasil losees its first set during OG today

Tom is serving very well. The whole team is serving well.

Brazil leads 11-6

Tom already made 2 service errors and her team made many service serror than BRA

Yes, but beside that, I think Brazil is suffering in reception because of US serve. But maybe it's just an impression I get.

Brazil takes 3rd set 25-13

us is committing a lot of service errors!

Ok, ok, I was wrong! The US sucks at serving, ok?

Brasil took the 3rd set.

Why dont they use Thaisa sometimes as Fofao's substitute? She really sets well. I think she should be a setter/middle blocker player

US needs to regroup fast. as the game progresses, Brasil is becoming more and more dangerous.
