Russia couldnt have played the defence Brasil played against Usa.
Russias has BLOCK and POWER, and the team that really challenged brazil and became brazil's turning point was against Russia. for me, THAT match is the finals! or at least more finals-like than what USA had shown today. Sokolova, Artamonova(Estes), Gamova, Goncharova CAN crush USA.
If only Destinee and the rest of the rookies played well though... they could've made this into at a 5-set thriller. after that 1st set, everything went blank for USA.
only my beloved logan tom played well.. a job well done for her...
