I'm so late but damn I'm sooooo happy! We paid our dues!!! It was a GREAT way to finish this generation started in 2005. Next year there will be some younger players joining Brazil's NT and I wish them the best in the next cycle! WOW!
Jaque made the game of her life, she was playing really well in her club but never really showed off in NT. YET! WOW again.
I love these girls so much, they deserved every bit of this victory.
As for USA team, I was wanting, wishing, praying and hoping for this (sorry, but that's true lol). They've been so focused all these years, I was claiming for some crack that could put the whole thing down. For me, USA is the best team in the world right now, and it'd be impossible for us to beat them if they played at their best. Happily (for us, of course), something happened and they were intimidated. It reminded me of the Cuba's NT. It's an unstoppable team if they're winning, but they lose control when losing and just can't reach the game. Not only me, but I'm sure a lot of brazilians are sad for Scott and Tom. Scott is BELOVED here, and she sure deserved a gold medal. I'm not a big fan of Tom, but i recognize the talent she is and she deserved it also. But that's sports 
And congrats to Japan! And Kim for her MVP! So deserving. And Brenda Castillo best libero 
Anyway, congratulations Brazil for putting the heart on the line ALWAYS! And for celebrating effusively cuz you can change what you are

Brazil, classy or not, olympic champion. Twice in a row.
