Brazil even without Visotto, Bruno and Dante won 1st set, if they win today, Bulgaria will advance no matter what happens, but I suppose that even without help from Brazil they will win also today match.

William, Wallace and Lucarelli were amazing in the first set. It was good to see Rapha finally wearing the NT shirt.
And again Maurício is in the game. -__- I hope Bernardo realizes he can't do anything before the final round. Why start with Thiago Alves if he's gonna bench him before the middle of the first set? -
Lucão with 4 aces in a row!
-
Lucão! \o/

Jesus, USA

My god, Maurício can barely hit the freaking ball.

And he's still on court
what Bernardinho saw in him, great talent? 
he's really useless (of course the wekaest link there), why Rezende don't let Felipe or Thiago play?

Now he's making mistakes in reception and getting blocked. It's a full job at being useless.
Bernardo should know that Thiago Alves takes some time to warm up in court, just like Vissotto. Unless he's feeling sick, there was no reason to bench him so early. -
Eh, it's bad Brazil won after so many mistakes by the referee, but whatever, Bulgaria is officially in the finals, USA is out, Brazil gets another win and I get 2 points in the prediction game!

Brazil won today 3-1 (25-22 25-18 20-25 28-26) even with Mauricio on court. So Bulgaria is the last one qualified team to F6.
Pools composition:
Pool D: Argentina, Italy, Bulgaria
Pool E: Brazil, Russia, Canada -
Can anyone please explain to me when a player basically walks under the net, while the play is going, touches an opposing player before returning to their side that it is not called a fault?
That was ridiculous. How can two referees miss/ignore that?

Agree these two teams have little chance with their play during intercontinental round. Of course Canada had easier opponents, but Argentina was horrible.

Lucao vs Matthew Anderson, what a battle! Very interesting match to watch.

Well, I don't think Argentina would need "to pull off their best games ever" to beat Bulgaria at home, but yeah, underdogs vs them and heavy underdogs vs Italy.

Theo simply is outclassed by other OPPs right now and wasn't called to the NT. Sidão is recovering from a back surgery.

The problem of Poland is not tactics or quality, it is mental. They play great when not under pressure.
-
The same could be said about our team. We just have some luck this year (the fact that Poland beat USA for example). If the games were in Poland I'm not so sure that we would have been that effective. We actually managed to lose the first set without pressure. That's talent.

Anastasi is pathethic looser.
If someone from Poland is proud with such beahviour it's very insulting for him.
