I want a killing 5-setter. I want us to lose first two sets in a really miserable way and then raise from the ashes, and win next 3 sets in a strong way with a final demonstation of our strenght in an epic tiebreak. That would give us wings (not the ones Buglarian and Italian guys have on their butts :D) and self confidence before the upcoming semifinal......I'm such a daydreamer, am I?
I don't think you're a dreamer,Ola, I aslo see a 5-set drama thriller coming in POL-RUS 1/4 final. We'll see which of both teams is gonna stand the pressure of the direct elimination. IMO Poland has advantage in that aspect, coz they have played recently much more matches with high pressure due to their full and quantity participation in WL, while Russian team kinda 'covered' for this competition and this 1/4 final will be their 1st really meaningful match since a lot of time. So in some way Poles' psychic should be let's say in better shape after the WL, 'cause lately it has been more trained than the Russian one. On the other hand Russia is a great team with great possibilities, we all know what players they have and who knows? Maybe during their "isolation" from the WL they have made important improvemnts about their game, psychic and attitude, but the problem is that they are still not tested and the first test is coming on a 1/4 final pahse on Olympic Games against a strong oponent...Damn, it'll be a tough battle and psychic will have main role!
Hey! Our shorts may have a shitty wings (or whatever it's that
), but look at this link below! They also have ResistexCarbon! (whatever it means
) So obviously according the article, these are some super high-tech shorts

The speed gun must have been broken. Isn't Petkovic serving only float serves?
Or maybe it has been written 1.20 KM/H but they didn't see clear the decimal point 
Why? 'Cause they have easier opponent? I can say the same about Bulgaria, because I'm sure they're gonna win their quaterfinal.
Some teams are lucky, some not.
Well, we can't be called lucky or unlucky, because unlike Brazil we won the group and that's how we deserved to avoid some of the main favourites for the title. While Brazil and the 3 other teams participated in a full draw, so luck is important to them. I also agree that Brazil (unlike both Russia and Poland) had some luck in the draw, cause they play well against Argentina and they have very big chance to qualify for the semi.
