Typical of Brazil to lose opening sets, tire the opponents and let them think they were owned.
....then storm back to finish the game with a win!
But lets see if TUR could figure this out and post a W

Sad to see USA go. They are the only team who can go head-to-head with BRA at this point. Safe to say now that the title will go to BRA
-
I love Kosheleva. She smiles and celebrates. So un-Russian
-
haha that back row attack from fe garay
-
USA 2 sets up. Natalia gave away the set point with a service error. Urgh!
-
Block party in the USA...humhumhum
-
If Murphy keeps playing this well, who needs the dramaqueen back?
I also love Larson-Robinson duo, they're so much balanced. (Both have swedish surnames 
)I second this
-
Fe Garay out! Natalia in!
BRA wing spikers are marked by US blockers
-
Fast sets and hard kills! This is getting exciting.
1set USA
-
Glass has improver her blocking. All single blocks for the first set

well japanese nt fans think japan is preparing for olympics 2016, they will say that even though japan placed 7th place in the previous grand prix editions they were still able to become 3rd in 2010 wch, 4th in 2011 wc and 3rd in 2012 olympics
Exactly! 4/3/2 years ago and now what -
I think I can`t agree with you more. I f japanese federation has still some mind left in them they would change Manabe as a coach after WC so that new coach will have time to prepare Japan to olympics
That arrogant coach! It so disrepectful to opposing OHs to give them a small blocker who cant even reach on top of the net! I am the OH I will kill those balls just behind that small setter hahahaha -
Im not really sure what JPN is trying to prove with this average height to small squad. Well they are proving that it is NOT working! But I just coudn't figure out the positive thing coming out of this tactic. I mean yes Takeshita days were in some ways a feat years back. But players have evolved already. Are they expecting to prevent to a good pass with their serves and not play OHs vs the small setter? Well thats not definitely happening. Passing has improved definitely in all teams vs low serves. JPN spikers are not that strong and fast anymore. So why? Why the hell with small setter and MBs? They just good in digging thats it. Its too painful to watch the other team drills balls after another. Can't they just train more tall setter like Miyashita who stretched the game yesterday to 5 sets? Im sure they extend this 'digging' program to tall/strong spikers as well like Saori and Nagaoka. *sigh

Oh no not with the small setter again. C'mon JPN, you are winless and CHN has 2 tall OHs
-
guys do you have USA-RUS match link? all of my links are directing to CHN THA match
larson is playing!
-
Indeed! Centoni nailed it eventually
Definitely the best OP right now -
And ITA prevails in a hard fought match! Great comeback from JPN. This batch deserves the 1st 6 next games
-
CRAZZZZY RALLY!
-
Great to start the 2nd week games with a 5th set. JPN can win this no doubt.
-
Ebata is struggling nowadays, so maybe it's better to see more Nagaoka as starting OP, not MB
maybe Sakoda can be useful
Yes i miss Ebata's back row attacks. She used to hit it at her highest reach and now its nowhere. Same as Saori. Kiiller instincts are done. I just dont understand why they continue with small setters. I mean non-setters are not that tall as well. Ill stick with Miyashita. She has some crazy digs as well. And of course high block reach
