I didn't see this comming! Congrats Martee!
Thanks, but I'm not a fan of our team.
Actually I paid no attention on this match, I focused on Argentina vs Italy as you did.

We commented early on that Argentinian bench isn't really a good one and the starting line up has to play all matches. Maybe that's why they are out of energy already.
Italy won Congrats!
3-0 to China ! I can't remember the last time we lost 3-0 to an Asian team ! maybe 4 years ago with genius Gajic.
Our blocking was just awful today and this time Velasco's subs made it even worse. He still needs to learn about his own team and how stupid sometimes they are. damn, this match ruined the whole good tournament they had. Our team is not experienced enough to be consistent in such a gigantic tournament.
China was fully prepared and ready for this match and deserved to humiliate us.
I watched Italy-Argentina just like I was watching a match between two teams I didn't care about or I'd go crazy, seriously. Though it makes me sad to see my lovely argentinians this way they definitely seem extremely tired and Idk, Conte definitely wasn't at his best (probably because he got hurt yesterday!?), Pereyra is terrible as usual (not that I'm surprised of it) and the day in which finally Weber will make Ivan play as 1st seems far haha, Quiroga didn't seem too bad to me, I don't get why he took him out and not Facu... though Poglajen didn't play bad.
on the other side... Lasko played very good another time, Ivan was great, though of course Travica forgets about him most of the time he was great in serving & blocking.
QuoteThere was a moment in the beginning of the game where Lasko and Savani had maybe twice as much spiking attempts than Mastrangelo, Fei, Zaytsev and the substitute Parodi combined together
well, just as always... I'd be surprised the other way...
watching Travica and De Cecco playing at the same time made me love Luciano even more. Seriously sometimes he sets the ball in such difficult situations and manages to make... magic

De Cecco is an artist, he sets so beautifull, pure talent!

Ah you're so poetic
Serbia with their best players vs Brazil. A shocker

Is there any chance that they drag Brazil out of Top 3 and make three European teams go to London directly?

LOL!
Go Serbia!

Hell no. Brazil are always as slippery as an eel. It would take a miracle to kick them out of top 3.

If I'm Serbia and if by playing well vs Brazil it is possible to remove Poland, Russia and Italy from European Olympic Qualification.. it's a no brainer
If I had to WIN a match to do that, hell yeah!
If I had to LOSE a match on the other hand.. is a different story.
Alright, 1 set in the bag
Great 1st set by Serbia, especially Miljkovic
Rezende's reactions
USA vs Japan, looong first set
Finally, USA wins 39-37.
Now I understand Serbia's tactic. She is helping Europe Teams.
Nice to see Serbia fighting today
SRB 2-1 BRA

Serbia and Brazil are totally out of shape.no one knows who is the worse.less worse team will win!
