? We can discuss water polo level and Greek teams but i really have no idea what you are up to today. We played with injured libero in olympic final. Yes, Greek volleyball is a real collapse 😉. Leon is Polish. Like Karalis is Greek...and maybe your weightlifters from Athens🙂

Expand  

There never had been important level of greek volleyball. Karalis father is greek , his mother from africa, he was born and lived all his life in Greece. On the contrary our Judoka and wrestler are russians, not greek. I have no problem to admit the same for Greece also. I gave my explanation why i thought France will win it

Μen's volleyball level has been fallen last years. Brazil has no relation with teams of the past, Italy has some succeess but they also cant be compared with the team of 90s , Russia is banned, Cuba has defections and Poland's one of best players in last tournaments (if not the best) is a cuban... so combine all these with the fact that France play at home and have an italian legend of 90s at their bench

[George_D 1,206]

i think France will take it easily

[George_D 1,206]

Sindo was sad that Italy lost to France but if Italy wins bronze then he will be happy again

 

@Josh 

[George_D 1,206]

I think Sindo now must be very very happy 

 

@Josh 

[George_D 1,206]

Italy won so Sindo must be happy

if you're only interested in the OQTs (and not to the rest of their product through the year), you can also use just the 7-day trial twice on 2 different accounts (just need 2 different e-mails)

i will take this option

For the top teams, this event is pretty much useless, as they’ll qualify anyways. Why doesn’t FIVB award five quotas through World Rankings, then do an OQT for the remaining six spots. 

Expand  

the most weird thing about FIVB is that they dont aply any continental rule. At least 1 place for Africa and Asia. If FIBA did the same we would have no teams from africa and asia in Olympics

Opinions on favorites here?

[George_D 1,206]

Japan also looks in good shape

[George_D 1,206]

  - 3-2

 

  - 3-0

[George_D 1,206]

China - Turkey pass in final, quite easily i would say both

[George_D 1,206]

what do you think of Brazil team?

[George_D 1,206]

What members think for Cuba vs Germany? 

[George_D 1,206]

Brazil returned (2-2) from 0-2. Lets see in tie-break

naaaa...it's because Italy so far have been less than convincing (still, we won all the games, especially the hard fight against Belgium) and because of the stupid rules of the championship (the fact that the quarterfinals won't be a crossover with the opposite pool, but teams will have to play again the same already seen in the main round)...

this makes it a lot more "tactical" and it might be better losing the main round match before the replay in the knockout stage...

 

by the way, good luck and enjoy the afternoon...

Expand  

so thats why maybe USA didnt use 2 key players against serbia (without this meaning that serbia's win is devalued)

The Dutch team is not yet making a good impression. Tonight the derby against Belgium. Winning means they can keep dreaming of the quarterfinals, losing probably means the end of that ambition. Best impression so far of United States, Brazil and China.

Expand  

they arent on the same level as previous years

Really, even being among the top 4 is way more than anyone expected from this Brazilian team.

Now I'll root for the two teams with the color green on the flag to win their matches.

i see that Brazil has lack of talents last years

Thanks for believing, but at first we must pass USA tomorrow, quarterfinals are always the most difficult matches for our team, in each big event, if we will play our best game tomorrow and take the win then guys will "unblocked" their heads and all next matches will be much easier, even if opponents will be more difficult.

Expand  

what i said yesterday... - 2-0....
