I love Paula she wanted to continue on the team. I want you all still keep playing because I think they may still another cycle olympic. Sure, I think it has to be renewed, but nothing prevents you from continuing two teams, a B team, so to speak, as Ze Roberto made with the players to ones that are there subistituir: Sheilla, Jaque, Mari (still I want her back) Paula, Dani Lins ... etc., and the B team can play some tournaments to get match fitness and experience. But the players of this cycle may be more an olympic cycle, I think I can, can still win the World Championship so that all crave, and imagine playing at home in 2016 with all your fans? Ze Roberto and I hope that it isBernardinho the same in men's team.

Now, about the interview of Paula I did not see so can not comment, if anyone has read about tell us something. Thanks;

Quote from Felipe Oliveira

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.

I agree.
Celebrate as you feel like it is an olympic gold medal. Just do not approve as Cuba and 96, do not shout in the face of his opponents, so much that they were booed by many fans in the final. Now, if you're happy and want to jump, turn somersaults and dance with your team I see nothing wrong ... just that they are happy. Each country, its culture to celebrate. And the day that can no longer be happy after winning a medal and jump, dance ... let me know
I got very emotional with them on their knees and thanking God.

Quote from Miguel

According to the brazilian website Melhor do Vôlei, the individual awards are:

MVP: Kim Yeon-Koung (Coreia do Sul)

Maior pontuadora: Kim Yeon-Koung (Coreia do Sul) - BEST SCORER
Melhor atacante: Destinee Hooker (Estados Unidos) - BEST SPIKER
Melhor bloqueadora: Fabiana Claudino (Brasil) - BEST BLOCKER
Melhor saque: Sheilla Castro (Brasil) - BEST SERVER
Melhor levantadora: Evgeniya Startseva (Rússia) - BEST SETTER
Melhor recepção: Fernanda Garay (Brasil) - BEST RECEPTION
Melhor líbero: Brenda Castillo (República Dominicana) - BEST LIBERO

I do think that Kim was the best player, although I also agree that the MVP should be from the winner. Anyway, I think that the best setter wasn't Startseva... Dani Lins had been way better than her...

I just do not agree with MVP (Jaqueline for me) Ok, well deserved kim ...and Setter (For me Dani Lins). But anyway ... congratulations to all.

Eu faço, mas não comento muito la .

Quote from serdar

First of all, I just hope the comments about 'USA should let Turkey win' is just a joke They never need that kind sidesteps, they also never show any arrogant stance or so. Everybody should thank them for keeping OG spirit and make the tournament without this dirty deals. Turkey should take the tie-break from Brasil or 4th set from Korea so we just simply doesn't deserve to be QF!

Congrats for both teams, the reason for losing final was mistake of Hugh by letting Hodge play for so long and of course Carvalho who shows best performance of her career

By the way, MVP of tournament is still KYK for me

I agree, they did not need it. Any game, a team that wants to prove because it is champion in my opinion have to enter to win, to lose by being on bad days, and another team is better is one thing, now foul play is different.

Quote from Matthias

One question for Brazilian fans: what was the team saying/singing when they were all kneeling in a circle after the match?

They were thanking God, praying the Our Father.

Quote from Miguel

Foi inacreditável, Karina!

=D

ooh yees, compatriota rs

quarterfinals Bra x Russ for me this game deserved the final game came to this story.

Congratulations to the team of Brazil! Congratulations players who have left to believe . Congratulations to Ze Roberto!
I'm very happy!

Congratulations for japan bronze medal! I like Takeshita

Have a person here who wants to place all the time because Brazil vs. Russia and attacks to the fans. no comentes
I only say one thing the Time of Brazil had important victories, as well as the team of Russia, Brazil wants a world championship, as well as gold in russia wants Olympiad. But all that these two countries won BOTH deserve.
This from Brazil x Russia, one better than the other, fans of one it is, etc ... that it was already ugly.
Each one supports his team and that alone, we need not offend anything or teams, or fans of each team.

Quote from andyivan

Ya, haha
silver in 2003, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2010
Only gold in 2008.
Only Brazil can do it!!
2012, they will be silver again.

I think she was talking about the end that the team played Brazil and he does not need to prove nothing to nobody, that is a fact!

If we talk about medals:

in Beijing
Gold in 2008

In Grand Prix
Gold in 2004, 2005, 2006, 2008 in 2009

World Championship
Silver in 2006, 2010

World cup
Silver in 2003 and 2007

World Grand Champions
Gold in 2005
Silver em 2009

Pan American:
Gold in 2011
Silver in 2007

(Not sure if I forgot some)
so this generation with the technico Ze Roberto

Not to mention the titles of the generation of Bernardinho with Leila and Co. (unforgettable)

FIVB ranking: Second

No need to prove anything to anyone!

I guarantee that many other teams would like to have all these titles, or that they were the silver medals.

I like all the players, but my favorite is jaqueline, Taiza Sheilla ... I preferred fabiola and Dani lins, I like the fernandinha but I think that because she never played before with the girls she still has difficulty. He preferred instead of Mari Tandara or Natalia.
but anyway, this is the opinion of the coach.

Brazil in the final Come on girl!!!!

Quote from aXeLbEn12

while I haven't seen/heard interview from brazil, i didn't see anything unusual from the 1st set towards the end of the game. so i don't know what all these fuss all about brazil.

if we're going to debate about brazilians' or any other teams' attitudes, perhaps we can create a new thread for it? this thread is all about the london olympics you know?

brazil won over russia
brazil celebrates
there are people who love the brazilian team
there are people who hate the brazilian team
brazil and russia hate each other

end of story

I agree with you. It is a topic to talk about the London Olympics

I talk about Brazil and Russia that it is very ugly in my opinion. It has fans from both teams here who does not have one and do not like the other has people like the two teams.
Just because I like the team of Brazil, I will not speak against the team of russia.

Quote from andyivan

If the referee really makes a mistake, fine, they would be angry about that, okay.
but the point is, when a judging is right from the referee, such as the opponent hit a touch out of a Brazilian player, they just don't admit to that, claiming it wasn't a touch , and yelling out they are innocent.
This will just give more and more pressure to the referre and may hurt the opponent.

Besides, when Fabiana is on the court, other players can't talk to the referee, but we often see other players angrily argue with the referee, eg. Sheilla, This can be given a yellow card.

This might be the reasons why people have problem with Brazil team.

(it's just my opinion.)

Well, if you think so, tell me a team that will always admit that was wrong? hard times ... almost all raise their hands out asking for the ball. no one is ever holy ...
The referee has to do it right, it was the right decision, even if a team complain, then go watch the game and see that the referee's decision was correct.
But I've seen some ugly mistakes of the referee, in an Olympiad thing can not happen, is a dream of all teams an olympic medal. What if because of a serious error of such a team is eliminated? I wish it had help from technology, a tv, showing replays of the play as well as the fans ... so if we avoid these errors, and then I wanted to see which player would make the innocent. Why do all this, not only the players of Brazil.

Quote from Bruna.

There's no saints in this story.

Brazil and Russia doesn't like each other in volleyball.

Both sides have the same feeling about each other.

I agree.
The important thing is both teams have respect on the court, as it should be with any opponent. If off the court like it or not this is a problem and an opinion of them.

I agree with you, people see what they wanna see.
About the statements of the players, technical, I will not because I have not seen opiniar interview. And this is an opinion of them, not because I like the team that I'll agree with everything they say ..
But about them celebrate I will speak from what I saw, I did not see anything disrespectful, they were happy. They were discredited before and get that victory, as it celebrate? The same way if they lose, they would cry like the Russians and the Russians were happy to be celebrating the Brazilians were, one day is lost if the other wins.
Each team celebrates as he will, provided you have respect for other team.
But always will be people speaking against it with all teams.

Quote from vblover

If I'm being honest with you Karina, people see what they want to see. It is what it is.

You dislike a player or coach and every little thing he/she does you will try to find something negative about it. You idolize a player/coach and every little thing he/she does is fantastic.

Today Goncharova had a row of mistakes while receiving and then when she came to the net she scored a point and yelled at the brazilians face. Is it fair, classy, polite?

What about what Ze said about Gamova?

What about Thaisa saying "I dislike Gamova but I felt sorry for seeing her cry that much". Is that classy?

In the end it's up to the person and you just can't argue about it. It's a public forum and eveyone has their opinion.

I was reading some comments that talked about Brazil celebrate that it is not respectful, in my opinion I did not see anything disrespectful.
They were happy, many people did not believe in them and they got the victory. Lack of respect for me and you shout in the face of the players of another team (as they often do the Cubans). Who can say that the Russians had not come they would not celebrate too much?
How to argue with the referee, the referees are very wrong in the game of BRA XRUS there were errors, by the way a very serious error, which was the point of Brazil and the referee gave point of Russia. In the game of DOM vs. USA also had some errors and Dominican players seemed to accept passively, I gave up anger. I prefer players who challenge but, after all is an Olympiad is a dream for four years. Hopefully in the next matches of arbitos has fewer errors.

I am not against any team celebrate as they wish, provided you do not yell in the face of his opponent and not lack of education, every team that wants to celebrate, even if it is happy to celebrate.
Well, that's just my opinion.
