Does this American team (without some of top player) have chances against Brazil, or do you folks expect easy win for Brasil ?
I think that USA have some chances, because Brazil don't play astonishing game at all, however till OG we still have a month.
Richards is pretty stable in reception.
I think USA,with this roster, doesn't have a chance to win against Brazil and China..They destroyed Thailand and Serbia but I have some doubts if it will be enough to beat them as well..I think we have a chance to win against them also..I think the final standing will be like that
1)Brazil
2)China
3)Turkey
4)USA
5)Cuba
6)Thailand
who will the receptors of America? Richards and Hodge and Libero Davis? and is Rischard's reception good or bad?
Richards/Barboza, Hodge and Davis are the receivers for USA.
Here are USA's reception statistics so far in the Grand Prix.
Name -----Total ----- POS% --- EXC%
Tom --------- 92 ----- 77.17% --- 41.30%
Richards --- 22 ----- 59.09% --- 40.91%
Larson ---- 100 ----- 64.00% --- 36.00%
Davis ------ 155 ----- 58.71% --- 34.19%
Barboza ----- 4 ----- 75.00% --- 25.00%
Hodge ------ 96 ----- 41.67% --- 25.00%
Richards's 59% POSITIVE, 41% EXCELLENT in Bangkok is good for her.

In Muszynianka with Bodzio as coach on bench
I think if Brazils team reception works well, if our girls don't commit mistakes, and in the team doesn't waste counter-attacks, we can beat every opponent in this final round. If we could win our matches in less than 5 sets, then we can win our 9th title.
BRA vs USA match livestream from Laola is now starting
Any brazilian tv streams?
Wow, USA is performing well even without their main stars! Brazil is struggling. Reception is bad and the Hitters have trouble killing the balls.
I feel again really sad when i see brazil in final round even their bad performance 
germans had really good and exciting matches against usa they could also beat them in second round and it was A team but brazil 
a team shouldnt be in final round because of its own big name and succesful history 
Brazil started with horrible reception at the 1st set.
Harmotto and Bown: 
They deserve to be in London together with Akinradewo.
I feel again really sad when i see brazil in final round even their bad performance
Don't judge another team by the result of just one match.

Its not just for one match brazil has seemed really far away from its good times since start of wgp
I feel again really sad when i see brazil in final round even their bad performance
come on..brazil only lost to the usa in the pool stage..and the only weak team brazil played against was puerto rico...its not brazil´s fault that germany did not manage to classify even facing korea, japan, taipei, dominican republic..
and bra x usa is just starting now
