Yes, for some reason brazilians are incapable of pronouncing D, T and Rs like normal human beings  eg. we're "argenchina".

Just like argentinians are incapable of pronouncing Y like a normal human being? 

 

Spoiler

Joking aside, Brazil is so huge that of course each region has a different accent/pronunciation.

Speaking about Ana Cristina, can the commentators please pronounce her last name correctly? They keep botching it left and right 

I was going crazy watching the match and the commentator calling her Ana "Krishna", like the Hindu deity. It reminds me of how some gymnastics commentators used to call Flavia Saraiva as Flavia "Sarajeva" (almost like the city).

 with another big win today, defeating  3-1! 
 

KVR and Gray were phenomenal as always. Johnson, King (Brazil has really improved her game within the last year), and White were some of the other standouts, but a massive shoutout to Courtney Baker who clutched up at the closing stages of each set yet again (we were down 10-19 in set two, and despite going on a big run couldn’t win the set), producing tough serve after tough serve (and a couple of aces) like she did against Brazil and Dominican Republic. This Canadian team is so good at the closing stages of each match, I remember countless times during last years VNL and Olympic Qualifying Tournament where they came back from multi point margins.

First of all, I can see the commitment, motivation, will to fight and positive flow in the Canadian team. Just what Italians have been missing in recent years.

Thank you for the kind words 

 

For me, this is one of my biggest hopes for Olympic qualification (other being men’s volleyball, which has of course already happened), really hoping they can get it done.

Currently, Canada is about 2.5 points behind the Netherlands. It's very close now

Here is an interesting english-language website about volleyball(mainly women's, but there are also men's topics):: http://inside.volleycountry.com/ 

Maybe you know? There are various calculations and ranking simulations regarding VNL 2024.

There’s also Volleytalk.
