Mimi Sosa should have been the 2nd MB, not Soto and Coneo was robbed, she was the true MVP... And I'm not a fan of Bulaich, it would be fun if Novoa were picked for the team instead.. maybe Patiño instead of Rizzo too

Quote from KVB

Congrats Columbia! What an upset

I really like their OH Amanda, which club does she play ? I’m pretty sure she can perform well in Brazilian league.

My only thought on Brazil is Ze should really have sent a mixed team here and rested the main players who played the whole VNL & OG already. All of them were out of form and most of them aren’t young anymore, it’s just unnecessary to overuse them in such tournament.

We didn't have other players to be called... Our season already has started.. for instance, Ze refused to call all of their players from Barueri because it would hurt their State Championship campaign.

Brazil were really lazy and unprofessional this tournament, they didn't deserve to win

at least we didn't lose the title lmao

Brazil with plot armor

Last match was a little bit of do-or-die to Colombia after their loss against Peru, so they were pretty nervous... and some players did bad mostly because of that I think, specially Margarita... And Rizola didn't help them sort it out, he was ruthless to them yesterday.. but it paid off and now they're playing with a lot more confidence, there's nothing to lose anymore

She's 40 and already showed us that her age doesn't matter... But don't worry, Ze will bring more players, there's no need for panic or witch-hunts out of nowhere.. specially for a player that don't deserve to be cut-out.. If there a MB that doesn't belong in NT is Bia, not Gattaz

Gattaz just come back, was part of OG's dream-team and is our only reliable slider, she's going nowhere anytime soon

Colombia vs Brazil

Argentina vs Chile

Quote from LDvolley

Brazil's B-C team took Ls from Argentina and Colombia at the last Pan American games so I'm not sure of that anymore

Brazilian volleyball depth isn't what it used to be (in both men's and women's).

Just to clarify things.. it's says that you were quoting me, but I wasn't the one who said that

Quote from akitoakie

so why dont they just send their B-C team? i am sure it will be more than enough to win this tournament.

It's a Ze Roberto's team you're talking about... We don't do B-C team here

After that run of infinity mistakes in a row I don't trust Argentina against anyone anymore, sorry

I have no idea.. youtube chat is saying that Peru will get second spot, but we shouldn't trust them so easily

My god what a ugly match... So good and so bad at the same time, sooooo many amateurish mistakes... Players forgot about technique, they were just reacting, playing visceral volleyball... I'm tired after watching this, it was a whole different sport, I'm not used to that, help

Colombia vs Argentina

Peru vs Chile

He worked in a traditional team here in Brazil for a few years (Pinheiros) and you could see during timeouts that he had an attitude towards the players. I wanna say 'abusive', but let's just leave at 'abrasive'. The team never performed well too.

I didn't know who was their coach but after this description I know exactly who you are talking about... What a shitshow

I found some replays if someone's interested

Quote from saishuu

Just saw that Lorena scored 19 pts today. Those are... Thaísa numbers. I'm not saying she's as good as Thaísa though, just making that very clear. lol

But yeah, Diana seems slow and clumsy, while Lorena seems agile and strong, while also being a big jumper. I hope Minas gives Kudiess more chances this year too -- let Gattaz and Thaísa rest for some games, it won't even matter. If we can get these two on a good level + Carol and Mayany, that's a strong group of MBs.

When I wrote my first post she had just blocked for the 3rd time in a row.. if there's one thing that make me proud of my country is our MBs, oh they're good

Diana has potential but don't seem to improve, at all... She's the same player from 2 years ago... Ze likes her a lot and we know he sees something in his players that no one else can.. I don't think she's NT material, but, who knows... Lorena's case shows that we don't know anything about volleyball so everything's possible
