I hope USA wins one of the indoors, most likely women, but they were overmatched in the Grand Prix Final and seems like Brazil have problem with pressure playing at home (7-1) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was one competition, and we lost based on quality (meaning that our team was shit). The Olympics are different. You can lose a gold medal (Men's Football) and win another in a question of minutes (Women's Volleyball). At Rio, will be the same. Brazil will lose some "sure" golds, and maybe will win other medals that weren't expected. I don't think we will win all 4 gold medals in Volleyball because we have other teams that are in the same level or are even better. For me, USA women has a more consistent team than Brazil. For Beach Volleyball, there's a number of teams that are good enough to win against our athletes etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little less bold: I think Brazil will win 1 or 2 gold volleyball medals (and let's say 4 total medals....and 2 for the USA) If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

orangeman 1,422 Posted August 6, 2016 #29 Share Posted August 6, 2016 A bit of a hometown call there to get Brazil the first set. At least Canada kept it close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangeman 1,422 Posted August 6, 2016 #30 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Brazil bitching and complaining after every Canadian point. Really sad to see from a world champion team (that's winning). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
