"Quarterfinals:
Brazil 3 - 0 Poland
Italy 3 - 1 USA
Russia 3 - 2 Cuba
China 3 - 0 SerbiaSemifinals:
Brazil 3 - 1 Russia
China 2 - 3 ItalyBronze Medal Match:
China 3 - 1 Russia
Golden Medal Match:
Brazil 3 - 1 Italy "
I sooooooooooooooooooooo hope your predictions are correct!
Brazil deserves a Gold Olympic Medal.... not only for this generation, but for the last generation that was extremely talented but had to face that powerful Cuba always in the semifinals....
However, I do believe the final game might be Brazil X Russia and the Bronze Medal might be Italy X China
-
I can't make any predictions....
I just hope Brazil takes this one too!!!
Both male and female NT....
But I do fear Brazil might lose it, specially to Russia, Bulgaria or the USA....

I'm Brazilian and all, but I do like the US NT.... And about the arrogance, it's true that some Brazilian players are more arrogant than any other player in the world.... Ricardinho and Serginho are extremely arrogant (though Ricardo is no longer a member of our NT).... Giba does look arrogant on court, but if you see his interviews and the way he behaves once the game ends, you can hee he's such a nice guy....
I'm just afraid Brazil can face the USA in a quarterfinal of the OG... This wouldn't be good, given the fact that the USA have won the last three matches they played against Brazil...
But I also do agree that the American culture of confidence may seem a little arrogant. When I watch American Idol and see contestants saying they ARE going to become the next Idol I can't help but feeling they should be a little more humble and akcowledge their competitors.... But this is a matter of culture, 'coz that's the way us Brazilians behave.....

A lot of setters have claimed MVP award recently
Feng was MVP in the 2004 OG, Takeshita was MVP in the 2006 WC (totally undeserved but...)
Ricardinho was awarded MVP in the last WL... and now Lloy Ball...
I just wish Brazil hadn't played so poorly right before the OG.... I hope they can overcome this loss and claim teh OG title for the third time...
-
Mijkovic has been teh best player of this final round that's for sure
I hope Serbia wins the final
I'm a little disappointed with the Brazilian loss, but I still hope we can get our third Olimpic gold medal....

I hadn't paid attention to this league before I downloaded some matches
Wow, there are a lot of great players there... the games are very exciting
Well, it's the second (if not the first) best league in the world....

It's the second time ever I've enjoyed living in Brazil... first, the Pan American games , now the WL and in 2014 the soccer World Cup....
Thank God people are finnaly paying attention to my country...

Quote from "LothiePG"
Are you Brazilian? :wink2:
I'll speak for myself, about this. Each person has its own opinion and let's say I've had enough before I formed mine. I don't like the brazilian team, and I don't like the general Brazilian fans behavior. But that doesn't mean that I hate people who cheer for Brazil.I guess when Russkii said they're overrated, is not because of this WC. It's because a lot of people put them as being the best team in the world, only because during 1 year or 2 they won some titles. Of course the team has inumerous qualities, but also is not unbeatable, specially if we're talking about decisions
Jokes apart, I guess that was what Russkii wanted to mean.
During 2005/2006 Brazilian team was complete, while the others where giving the main players a rest and were training the young players to get experience on the international scene. In my opinion, it's easy to win against other teams when you're complete and they are not. But you can notice that since the teams started to bring back their main players, Brazilian team has not won any title besides the South American.For any fans, the team we cheer is always "the best", but most Brazilian fans have a lack of humility in not admitting that Brazil may be your favorite team but there are teams as good as Brazil or even better, and that Brazil in fact can lose, and stop giving stupid excuses, like the ones Russkii mentioned in his post. It's usual to hear things like that. It's never the other team that is good, it's always Brazilian team that "let they win". And because of that, there are criticism for some players of their own team, Jaqueline, Sheilla, Paula, no one is spared, even Fofao, and also they call the other players bad names like "the giraffe Haneef" (in this last USA victory). It looks like jealousy for me.
And don't tell me people don't think like that because I've seen it thousands of times with my own eyes.Talking about the other teams, first: I don't like Cuba either. But I must admit that some of their attitudes were perfectly justifiable for me, like in the end of Pan-An Games when they made grimaces to the Brazilian supporters. People always mention how unethical they were, but no one tells that the supporters were booing Cuba's National Anthem. Anyway, that's not what I really wanted to say about the subject. LOL.
My point is that all teams have players that are humble and those who are not. I think it's pretty unfair to say that a team is humble and the other is a team made of arrogant players.
I've had the chance to meet players from a lot of countries and my own experiences are only valid to myself, but for example Annerys Vargas (DR) was the most arrogant player I've ever seen, followed closely by Walewska. On the other hand, Nancy Metcalf is the most wonderful person I've ever seen (and that does count all the people I know), and Rosir Calderon was really nice too, just to type few examples.
When I find Brazilian players arrogant is not because they treat their fans badly (in my opinion, giving few bad written autographs and taking pictures with fake smiles is not an example of treating the fans very well, but it's my personal opinion based on personal experiences)... I find they arrogant because they seem to think that they are too good...
I agree with you in parts :wink2:
I think that people are free to say what they feel for their team, but I feel like disrespected when I read comments like "Brazil lost to itself" instead of saying that USA played a great match. And it happens everytime that Brazil loses, they never recognize that the other team was good enough to beat them. And I also think everyone should feel free to express comments about the team they dislike. It's a discussion thread :wink2:I'm a Brazilian, and I honestly think Brazil and Russia are the two best teams in the world nowadays... It's lnot lack of humbleness, it's just my opinion.
The problem with the Brazilian NT is not THAT they lose... No team is unbeatable, the problem is HOW they lose...
Athens, 24X19... c'mon.... It was practically an ended game...
WC2006, 13X11... Sheilla spikes out, Jaqueline is blocked(as usual) and then makes a mistake in reception... Another loss
Now, they win the 1st and 2nd sets in a spectacular way, but then lose the game
If you see, all the significant loss Brazil has had lately, they were more likely to win, I mean, they had a lot of advantadge... And that is what makes people nervous... Losing matches is normal, but losing all important matches when you have a clear advantadge is just frustrating....
