2012 Olympic Games

  • Turkish fans find a way to talk about Turkey even when they're not playing in the match :) We all know that Brazil won because Fabiana played in Fenerbache this year!


    Hahaha and you should find a new humors to despise, always same comments agains Turkish users :lol: , especially against Canter :rolll: :rolll:

  • Best players cerimony?? ?(


    i've been waiting for that one too... there seems none... ?( 8|

  • No words for this match! BRASIL!


    Think I'm even more happier than in Beijing!

    Too bad I don't have the same feeling.


    I missed Mari, Fabíola and Camila Brait. I just can't help it!!! ;( ;( ;(


    IMO they deserved to be there. The gold doesn't change for me Ze Roberto's stupids decisions :wall:

    I totally agree with you. Mari, Fabiola and Cami should have been there instead of someone else. First of all Paula.

  • I'm really glad that Brazil won thier 2nd consecutive gold medal.
    They really fought until the end thoug they lost the 1st set badly.


    I also want to make a big congratulation for USA.
    If they had played well,they really could have won.
    Because overall they are the better team than brazil.
    And about USA won over turkey to let brazil be in QF things,it is just stupid that somebody in this forum say lke USA should't have let brazil be in QF.
    I really like the way USA girls play,They play fair with spirit and dignity.Really pround of them.


    The current brazil team is far away waker than their 2008's team.
    So it is very surpirsing for me they won go this time.
    Anyway,Congrats for my favourite Brazillan team. :dance4:

  • Of course, if USA let TUR win, BRA gone, this won't happen today.
    I'll still congrats them if they won gold by, but definitely won't have the same respect to this team as I do now.


    How they player performed in the final match as well how the coach plan can be criticized, but to criticize them about not trying to lose the match is absolutely sad for the sport.

  • i know its unfair but Spanish basketball team lost to Brasil intentionally to avoid facing Usa male basketball team at SF...seems usa women female team did right thing but..i dont know this is gold medal match and....anyway...


    This happens a lot in football too..
    but I guess USA's plan is to let Brazil eliminates Russia
    and they didn't expect Brazil will come back that strong
    anyway, Brazil won and that's it.

  • I totally agree with you. Mari, Fabiola and Cami should have been there instead of someone else. First of all Paula.


    Yes! I like Tandara and Natália... But Fabiola and Mari shoud have been there... I think Camila Brait deserved as well, but she's gonna have time from now.

    So you want USA to lose on purpose.
    So that they can win the gold?

  • for all of you who said that USA should have eliminated brazil at the preliminaries, yeah, it may have worked. But two things: 1) they played FAIR and in accordance with olympics spirit; and 2) most probably than not, they will meet Russia. Gamova and sokolova, who want the Gold REALLY bad, will pound the hell out of them with this kind of performance.

    Russia couldnt have played the defence Brasil played against Usa.

    I said I respect them to not try to lose and hope people stop criticizing them about this!

  • Congratulations to Brazil! They clearly outplayed the US team at the most important part of the tournament. Everyone played really well but I have to commend Dani Lins for a job well-done. To me, she is the MVP of the finals. Now Brazil has finally found the best replacement for Fofao. I expect all 12 players will be gunning for a shot at 3rd consecutive gold when their country hosts the Olympics in 2016.



    Okay, Team USA. Its been a pleasure watching you the past 4 years. They've dominated the sport despite having new faces on the team. They brought honor and pride to USA. I'm just very sad at this loss but I'm extremely proud of their efforts....Going undefeated until the finals was something only few teams in the sport have achieved. I will continue to cheer for the team. GO USA!



    I salute Danielle Scott-Arruda, Tayyiba Haneef-Park and Lindsey Berg for the contributions they've given to the sport and for Team USA.



    But I have to give my utmost respect to the player who truly deserves a gold medal. From being a National champion in Stanford, to becoming the youngest volleyball Olympian to have competed for the US Team, numerous Grand Prix titles, Runner up in World Champs, World Cup and Olympic Games. For being the silent leader of this team the past 12 years. LOGAN TOM. You are my hero. I am extremely privileged to have witnessed such a complete player in the many years that I've been following volleyball. She was the reason why I became a volleyball fan. Thank you Logan! Truly, a legend of the sport.



    While I am hoping to see her in 2014 World Championships, I think Logan is done with the National Team. ;(

    "[size=8]It's years and years of work and sacrifice and dedication. Along with a lot of these girls, we've sweat and we've bled and we've cried together in past Olympics. It just brought tears to my eyes, & I'm more than thrilled. This will be forever." -LOGAN MAILE LEI TOM (Silver Medallist - 2008 Beijing & 2012 London Olympic Games, 2011 World Cup runner up, 2003 & 2007 World Cup 3rd place, 2002 World Champs runner up, 4-time World GrandPrix Champs)
