To make a football analogy it's like Iniesta or Xavi or any midfield brain winning ballon d'or over Messi or Ronaldo.
It will make football videogame-playing kids and more casual viewers angry
but they are equally important to a winning team.
Well atleast it wasn't Takeshita.
Setter MVPs in international competitions will always be disappointing no matter how deserving they are. 
When the bronze medalists are more ecstatic than the silver medalists.
What a year for Italy for sports.
Volleyball - ECH M/W gold
Football - Euro gold
Tennis - Wimbledon finalist
Maybe it is a coincidence that Romano came in and then there's talks about the Roman Empire coming back in style.
Congrats Italy.
What a substitution from Fefe. It destroyed Slovenia when they thought they had it. So cruel yet so good. No one can never recover from this. It will haunt them all their lives.
Lavia IMO should be the MVP. He is the most consistent player atleast for this game.
It's all over. I'm sorry, Slovenia. Another silver medal for you again. Thanks for participating. Come back again.
What a disastrous defending from Slovenia, that was the weakest hit from Romano yet they gave away the point.
They can't stop Romano.
If Italy wins this, this will go down as one of the best substitution of all time.
Ok Slovenia, this is either going to be the greatest heartjoy or the greatest heartbreak ever for them with this kind of start of a tiebreak.
Slovenia needs to regroup and they need to do it fast.
Italian reception will decide if this match will be decided in a tie-break or not. Everything is still wide open.
But what a pity Giuliani has already wasted his two challenges.
If there's a tiebreak, I wonder who going to start: Pinali or Romano.
Italy's not the same team since Romano came in.
Probably the best substitution of the game. Slovenia thought they're going to win it all but now they're struggling to identify his weaknesses and tendencies.
And now the mistakes are rolling to Slovenia.
That lefty sub from Italy could make blocking and defending tricky for Slovenia.
Smells like a last ditch effort but it's working quite well.
Urnaut have to win an award for selling the fake pipe set to Italy.
Stern saves Slovenia from the brink.
Ropret is becoming too predictable for his own good.
Anyone with an eyeball knows that ball was out, Urnaut.
What a mistake from Slovenia then a mistake from Italy neutralizes it all in the same rally.
