Oh, Argentina :cry: What a wasted chance at the end...

My favourite Volleyball position: LIBERO. You ask why? Look here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyIOarNAONk

Match MVP: Referees

 

I honestly can't remember what games were like before the challenge system. :mumble:

 

And Alan. :bowdown: Honestly he's much better than Wallace, but of course Wallace is almost a god here in Brazil for his performance in 2016.

first rule in volleyball, never count Brazil out,:d they always can come back . from anywhere.

 

feel really bad for Argentina, they were playing flawless (it wasn't like Brazil was playing bad IMO) I think that red card in the 3rd set was the turning point of the match, they still had 1 point lead and had to receive the next serve.

 

btw there were several crucial mistakes from the refs. I can't tell which team benefited more. it was for both sides. but it was one of the worst officiating I ever seen in volleyball. they really needed the video challenge system here. most of the calls were random. 1 for yellow team. 1 for blue team :d

 

I had to shorten my sleep time because of this :d but it worthed it . I love watching matches like this where both teams play like their lives depend on it. and Leal probably never imagined he will win a "South American Championship" medal someday :d

Our volley is the opposite of our basket, they NEVER win an important/historic match. Never. 

 

Why do I follow this sport? :facepalm:

And the opposite is for Brazil, they win volleyball important matches and titles but no in basketball :d

    • Let's not act as if these things never happen before. Serbia's cross-country skiing drama a week before the Olympic qualifying for Beijing ended: FIS | Cross-Country Results - Zlatibor (SRB) 2021/2022   Drndic with a DNF, despite being - on paper at least - the best athlete. She didn't just 'not finish', she stepped out barely 50 meters before the finish, because if finishing, the points for her competitor would have been better due to the way points are calculated. Ended up with lots and lots of yelling and screaming and fighting and cursing, DNS the next day and in the end Serbia sent none of them.   This is not a shit move by Canada, this is a fault of the system at most.
    • Yes agreed, resetting it would help make it more dramatic as no one would be running away with it. We could also set it that there is a small reward for ranking higher after each round… maybe they start the next round with a “head start” so they bring a few points into the next round? But starting from scratch each round might be cleaner  
    • I like the concept a lot. My only worry would be that the nations doing the best individually would also end up at the top here as teams are only made up of pairs. Whereas in a bigger team it gives the nations not doing so well individually to have another chance if they are lucky enough to be placed in a good team. Any way we can balance it?
    • I thought about accumulating, but for higher drama it may be reset like in cycling track elimination races 
    • Those are the national junior championships, national championships are in Steinkjer, starting tomorrow: FIS | Steinkjer (NOR) - Event Details - Cross-Country
    • Nice for them, but also kind of too bad they pick the exact same two as last time. Would have been nice to see Regina Martinez for example (although I'm not sure that would have been logistically possible, depending on how they're going to do the flag bearer thing in the first place).

    • One of my favorite songs from the early 2000s that I listened to on a cassette on my walkman      
    • For me 20 medals will be good. And if more there are? Super. However, I prefer not to get my hopes up too much, so as not to be disappointed later.
