What a boring environment to play in Kazakhstan! Sorry can't help!

Anyway, Rondon is a terrible setter. I have never seen such bad setting from an Italian Team. Costagrande, Del Core, Anzanello and even Ortolani can't put the ball down.

Mari's reception is still suspect. But despite that, Brazil still has the best set of OHs and Opps (Yes, even better than Russia's Gamova-Sokolova-Kosheleva or USA's Tom-Larson-Hooker).

I also think Brazil also has the best MB combo in the world.

Agree! Brasil has the best Opps and OHs.. As well as Thaisa-Fabiana.. Also if they could add Priscila Daroit, Sheila-Tandara-Priscila killer combo

Brazil claims second title in Pan Am Cup

MIAMI, Florida, July 4, 2009.- Olympic champions Brazil claimed its second crown in the history of the Women’s Pan American Cup by scoring a convincing straight set victory over Dominican Republic in the gold medal match at University of Miami on Saturday. The score was 25-18, 25-20, 25-14.

The previous Brazilian title in the event was in 2006 when the competition took place in Puerto Rico. Dominican Republic was the defending tournament champion.

The Brazilians’ serves and subsequent blocking were the keys for the triumph of the South American representatives. The winners out-blocked their opponents 14-5.

Sheila Castro led the balanced attack of Brazil with 15 points including four blocks and Natalia Pereira had three blocks en route to her 10 tallies. Fabiana Claudino added nine points and Mari Steinbrecher and Thaisa Menezes contributed with seven apiece.

Milagros Cabral topped Dominican Republic with 11 points, Lisvel Eve added 8 and Bethania de la Cruz was limited to only seven points.

“I am happy we won the game and tournament,” Brazil Head Coach said. “This is not the team from the 2008 Olympic cycle, as we are starting a new Olympic cycle. This is the second tournament we have played this year, and we have won both events with this roster.”

“I am extremely happy in winning this tournament, our second of the year,” Brazil captain Danielle Rodrigues Lins said. “We started today’s sets slow, but were able to serve and block well.”

“We had a sub-par performance and played different than we have the whole tournament,” Dominican Republic Head Coach Marcus Kwiek said. “Brazil put pressure on us through its serve and we had trouble with our service reception.”

that means thailand didn't even manage to do a full rotation... therefore some players didn't happen to serve or play (imagine a middle blocker), lol

the Thai libero must have been bored

And Brazil keeps on rolling...

Carol Gattaz always amazes with her blocks. 6 blocks in one match against Trinidad & Tobago

Starting lineup:
Ana Tiemi, Joycinha, Regiane, Sass, Carol Gattaz, Adenízia and Líbero Camila Brait

I enjoy this year's Brazilian team.

Carol Gattaz - great blocker, 9 against China and 5 against Poland!
Ana Tiemi - fierce setter considering it's her first senior national callup
Danielle - another setter I like, I think Ze Guimaraes will not be having a hard time finding a setter considering these 2 and Brazil always produces great setter (eg Venturini, Fofao, Mauricio etc)
Adenizia - I really like her in the 4th set against Poland
Natalia - the future of Brazilian volleyball

I can't wait to see Camila Brait.

I think they're perfecting their serves. Sassa, Fabiana, Adenizia etc

Quote from Raul

Is there in your press any info which lineup will Brazil coach use as starting six vs Germany? Thanks

Brazil Twam against Germany
Setter: Ana Tiemi 187/188 cm
Blockers: Thaisa 196cm, Fabiana 194cm
Opposite: Sheilla 188cm
Hitters: Mari 189cm, Natalya 187cm
Libero: Fabi

Adenizia has been called to train as well

Where is Paula?

I think this will test the 2 setters, team will rely on the Brazilian block: Carol-Fabiana-Thaisa

as long as Mari, Sheilla & Fabi are playing they'll be okay

Wow, Ana Tiemi is tall for a Brazilian setter, hope Fofao mentors her.

Is Valeskinha retired?

i love their talented settes. Fabiana-Thaisa-Carol blocking wall.

I wonder who will play for Brasil in Abu Dhabi International Women’s Volleyball Cup

Brasil 2009 Team

My Picks:

setters
Carol, Dani Lins, Ana Tiemi

liberos
Fabi, Camila

spikers
Paula, Jaqueline, Mari, Natalia, Regiane

opposite
Sheilla, Joycinha

blockers
Fabiana, Thaisa, Caroline, Adenizia

The Brasilian team will be better this year. Saw Superliga and the Dani Lins, Carolina, Ana Tiemi are great setters. Add to the fact that they have Rezende as Rexona's coach.

are they any good?

blockers: Malu (196), Natasha (196), Luana (196)
setters: Betina Schmidt (185)
spikers: Thais (190)

They have Ana Tiemi who is a tall setter and Dani Lins or Marcelle.

Ana Tiemi & Dani Lins for sure.

Brasil has good middle blockers: Thaisa, Fabiana & Caroline Gattaz

Brasil: Jaqueline, Mari, Sheilla, Paula, Sassa

Brazil wins GOLD!!!!

24-21 Block by Sheilla!

Brazil 23-21 Block by Fabiana

Well, this IS a gold medal match

Do something Thaisa!!!

back and forth match!
