As a Brazilian of course i will support my NT, but that doens't mean that i don't recognize that US is favorite (favorite, not the winner). We brazilians have a lot of desapoittments in this general olympics, a lot of our favorites athlets to win the gold fail, so it can work the other way around too.
Another thing is that is only in the final because of US, that show a true olympic spirit and played with full team against Turkey, risking to injurie players (like happened to Berg) and letting a dangerous still alive in the tourney. Because of this Brazil own a good match to US.

Brazil is destroying Japan

So happy that USA lost, USA is Brazil male kryptonite.
Brazil and Italy will be a fun match too see, it will be battle of service against reception
-
Brazil is the 3 x 2 team! And 3 x 2 in the elim round is as good as a 3 x 0! Go Brazil!
Sheila, Thaisa and Dani you destroyed!
Finnally we eliminated Russia in a big game, it was about time!
-
Athens deja vu?
-
Omg! Every time Brazil has a blackout i think i will have a heart attack.
-
Plese Brazil, don't give me false hopes!
-
How could the ref miss Dani Lins in the backcourt?!?
Dani Lins didn't jump, she only rised her arms. It was not a block, it was a defence.
-
An amazing end of set from Brazil.
-
Brazil and USA will decide who will be the first of the group on thursday
-
Brazil is back? Really don't think so. Russia play bad in reception and has mess in their game. Brazil is playing similar level wich can be compared to WL games against Poland
I agree that Brazil ins't playing the best game in their history, but the fact that our OH are recovered from their injuries and tha Bruninho is having a better game distribution make me believe again in this team. The happinness of the team is another important point.

Brazil is back. So happy to see Murilo, Dante and Vissoto back. Playing like this i thik we have a shot in the OG
Brazil is back!

Mari > Tandara
Camila Brait > Fabi
Adenizia > FabianaZe Roberto killed this team with stupid decisions!
Fabiola > Dani Lins
and I still don't understand why risk so much bringing nathalia, I think Sassá could help the team she has great service and defense
Ze Roberto killed this team with stupid decisions! (2)
Fabiana and Fabi are playing only because of the name
-
It's the Sophie's choice, Jaqueline can't attack but Brazil need her so much in the defense system
-
OMG, Brazil's defense and service are killing me!
-
De La Cruz has 22 point already, almost an entire set!
-
Sokolova ins't in the start six because she is being punished to refuse to participate of the pre olimpic?

IMO, USA is a really strong team, but they aren't perfect like everyone is saying here and around the world hahaha. Yesterday, Davis showed that she's not good at receive, and Berg sometimes get lost and makes a bad distribution. Brazil, Russia and Italy can beat them.
About Brazil, I was so sad yesterday with my team's match against Turkey. We played terrible, Sheilla didn't worked and Fernandinha didn't showed why Ze choose her for the olympics in Fabiola's place. She insisted A LOT with the OH's, and the OH's were not playing well. Thaisa and Fabiana did not receive balls, and our middle blockers are so strong and important for the overview of the game. I hope that Ze makes the team play better against USA because we can't lost this match!
I don't think fernandinha played bad, how could she work with the central with such a bad reception? and all the times she left the OH with single block, the problem is that the OH wans't attacking well. I think her bigger mistake was to don't give more balls to sheila

Fabi was good enough against Turkey....wasnt she?
I am brazilian and don't know the names of all the volleyball terms in english, so sorry if i made any mistake. But Fabi isn't playing well in a really long time, last match ll the Turkey players were serving ir her, and she neve give good passes to Fernandinha
Another problem in Brazil is that Dani, in Brazil we call her Pani (Breakdown) Lins will only learn how to play with the OH when she will have 45 years and will be playing master tournments.
Cheering for Brazil, but i think Tandara, Dane Lins, Fabi and an injuried Natalia were bad choices from Zé and he will pay the price for this. Mari, Sassá, Fabiola and Camila would be better choices.
