    Thank you all guys for the information... I was so disappointed Brazil lost this tournament because I think this is the best team Brazil has ever had....Well, of course, nowadays the middle blockers are a loooooooooot better and Mari two years ago (Olympic Games) was the best spiker I've ever seen, but I think in terms of team, 98's Brazilian line-up is my favorite...


    For me, the best brazilian team ever was the one at the 96 Olympics..... Marcia, Fernanda, Ana Mozer, Ana Paula, Hilma, Ida, Ana Flavia, Leila, Virna... wow, what a team!
    Brazil-Cuba at the semis is one of the most tense matches I ever watched, and I'll never forget such a dramatic turn around for Cuba, including the fight at the end of the match.... I mean , this game became a classic No. one to me.
    Does anybody have this game?

    I'm not sure, but I think that isn't bronze medal match. This one which I posted has ended 3:0 (Russia won)


    Justyna, you're right , this match corresponds to the preliminary round - Pool C and it was the debut match for both teams (the other teams in the group were Dominican Republic and Germany.


    that's why (I'm just guessing) Brazilian players didn't display all their skills....
    anyways they met again in the bronze medal game with the victory again for Russia..... :(

    I think the psicological problem has been a huge issue for years in women's brazilian team.


    I read an article from a brazilian newspaper pointing this out. They said that Peru in the 80's (brazil was until mid 90's the runner-up team in southamerica), Cuba in the 90's and Russia in this decade were the big barriers for Brazil and for some reason brazilian players couldn't play at their best every time they faced these teams.


    Hope they could overcome this situacion very soon and get the gold in 2008. :roll:

    I watched the video using Real Player and actually it stopped it the middle of the third set...... more or less in the 36min (of a total of 1h18m shown).


    When I opened it with a Media player classic it only read a total of 36min....


    anyways the image and audio are great, and that cuban team was quite impressive..... "the caribbean queens at their highest level".


    I think this great team deserved to be named the best of the century!!

    Kaszanka,


    thanks for the game!
    I've had some problems lately trying to download from Megaupload site (using IE), for some reason it was blocked without warnings....
    I changed to Mozilla Firefox and it's much better and faster (@ 800kb per second!) :lol:

    My favorite player is Anja Spasojevic, she is so nice and cheerful. And plays beautifully.


    I wasn't aware of the power of the serbian team until the WCH2006, where, to me, was the real surprise of the tournament.


    They showed consistency and unity as a team, and I truly think that they overestimated Brazil in the semifinals. When they realized they could fight and beat Brazil, they were down 0-2, but next time, the story, hopefully will be different :wink2:


    Anja plays for Serbia NT, and for Novara, so needless to say who I'm cheering for. :lol:


    Regards


    Dear Justyna,


    I really appreciate you sharing your great collection of volleybol games with us!
    Unfortunately, in Canada the only chance we have to watch those high level games are during the Olympics (mainly US games), and in most cases just few minutes (compact) of the games.
    There was a network that used to broadcast few women volleyball games in the past, but that network was cancelled :(


    Thanks to you and this wonderful site, I can download the games that I was waiting to watch for so long!


    You said you had the finals of the WC99 Cuba-China, and of course Brasil-Russia from WCH1998, that'd be great if you can upload them :wink2:


    Thanks again


    Regards

    hi everybody,


    I'm Djordje, from Canada


    I found this forum surfing the net, and it's fantastic.


    Volleyball is very popular here, but unfortunately, the media doesn't pay too much attention. However I follow the tournaments through the internet, and now I'm glad I found you guys!!


    Hope to discuss further about our favorite games and players!


    Regards

    Thanks for your fast reply!


    What I understood is that WGP 93 games are the oldest you have?... well... still good enough!! :D .... no problem.


    My question really was about some terrific games played during Olympics Seul 88 ,and Barcelona 92, and WCH90 and 94.... I watched some from Seul 88 in youtube in a pretty decent quality, and they were awesome!


    Looking forward for your uploading of more games...... thanks again!


    Regards

    93 WGP FINAL?... that would be great!!
    Thanks a lot in advance!! :wink2:


    I'm wondering what are the oldest videos you have in your collection?
    It's interesting to me to compare the current level of the volleyball with the old style and systems of the late 80's - early 90's.
