I think that ball touched Garay’s arm

Congrats, USA! Great team performance! I agree with who says the level of the competition is not the best one, but I think it could be way better if teams didn’t skip VNL after so much time without any official competition. USA, Brazil and Korea have nothing to do with it and are making their way to one more Olympic medal.

Between those 3 teams, Italy, Serbia and China, that everyone considered to be the favorites before the competition, I’m still really disappointed with China. Ok, everyone knows Zhu is their captain and main player, but, for me, they have an incredible team, they’re not only Zhu, so I hope they can find their rhythm back again.

Maja ignored her middles the whole game (except for a part of the 1st set) and now keeps insisting with Rasic that can’t score at all

I hate to see this Boskoball game, but there’s literally nothing else to do

Boskovic is such a legend

This looks like a U12 game for the USA: just put the serve on the other side of the net and wait them to make mistakes

Why are Serbian middles worried with Akinradewo and Washington?

Ok, Serbia, perhaps you can grab the bronze medal

Now Maja trying to use her middles more

I have a huge respect for Serbia and what they have accomplished over the last years, but the volleyball they have been playing is just terrible to watch. Bad reception, many service mistakes and only Bosko in attack

Maja not playing well IMO

Poulter with 2 great digs and Drews with 2 good kills to make USA open some advantage

A comment not about the game: Terzic should’ve told Busa that the World Championship is more important than the Olympics, so she would’ve tattooed “WCH” instead of the Olympic Rings.

This must be so hard for the girls since the game is just some hours ahead, but Brazil has 2 ways of dealing with it. One is let this let them down, disturb them and make them underperform and the other one is to unite even more the team and play for her. If they face it with the second option, I think it will be very hard to stop them.

Let’s see and hope everything goes well.

I’m shocked. Does anyone know if this can have an impact in Brazil’s results? Like, could they get a punishment for this?

Congrats, Russia! You played a great match and never stopped believing! Congrats too, Brazil! Really proud of you for fighting back even after the defeat on 3rd set.

Wallace had a terrible match, especially in decisive moments. I think Renan could have done the subs earlier, but that’s it. It happens. Let’s fight for this bronze medal that is a great achievement too! You guys are huge!!

In women’s game I praised Zé for his braveness for making changes. I think I will be mad at Renan for doing exactly the opposite

Russia’s block doesn’t even bother to worry with Mauricio. I think Isac is very welcome in this match

Quote from Realista

Losing Olympic final from 2-0 and 22-19.

I hope we'll get a tie-break, Yakovlev indeed is the MVP of Russian team.

I don’t think London a choke. Muserskiy was just unstoppable and it was a smart move from Alekno. It was Russia’s day. Now I think it’s way different, Russia did nothing new and Brazil just stopped

Ok, this is the biggest choke I’ve ever seen from Brazil
