Instead of Canada and Poland, I cheered earlier for Russia and later for USA. Nothing personal, but in Bulgaria we don't like the Poland team. But I think they will win, because they play awesome.

Nevertheless, I expect a great match.

Yeah, well, I think your expectations were too high :d

I know Polish team is not liked in Bulgaria, I even spoke with some volley-friends abroad, so I think our team generally isn't very much liked by many fans, but in some cases it's mostly a cultural cause - here in Poland we too have teams many people don't like because of Politics etc. I however am a person who doesn't basically have a grudge against any team, however when I think some team cheats/ plays un-fair I am not afraid to say it in any sport, regardless if most people think different, so I realise some of my comments may seem harsh when compared to others :d tbh The Bulgarian team is not much liked here either after WL finals in 2012 when some Bulgarians throwed stuff at our players during the semi with your team, the same with Russian, German and possibly Iranian team,  but well, I just wanna see clear sport ;)

The Netherlands have a got chance to make the final in womens volleyball! :yikes:

No one expected that, especially considering that they shouldnt have qualified in the first place. Russia and Brazil were much weaker than expected. We have the same situation as in mens handball: The second semifinal (USA vs. Serbia) should have been the final. :cry:

We have one good player and he gets injured as soon as the match start, typical luck of argentina. The same with our 2 handball teams. I'm sick of this....

"That's it, I don't need to watch the next 15 days :cry: this is all I wanted."

Thats what you said after Pareto won the gold medal ... so when did your account got hacked? Back then or just now? :p

I understand how you feel, but: In my opinion you had almost perfect olympics. Many people didnt expect you to win a single gold and now you already have two and could very well win a third today, in addition to that Del Potro won a silver medal completely out of nowhere.

well, watching BRA-ARG i have the impression that if - AGAIN - we won this 1 set more in group stage, we could beat Brazil yesterday. Americans were enormous and we couldn`t have a worse 1/4 opponent.

    • As a Montreal Canadien fan, I am in agreement. However, he is struggling recently and is demoted to the 4th line this week. Hoping he can turn it around. 
    • I read now that Valentina Rodini will be in the new team of Tizzano + Galtarossa and Martini. I was probably in such an information bubble on Instagram that I thought that only Abbagnale was running a campaign and had a team of people around him. That's why I was surprised by his defeat + the fact that, for example, Rodini supports his rival. But as I wrote, for me the change in the general coach position is a plus. We need a new opening and a new impulse: Cattaneo had his best results in Tokyo and then he only explained that his rowers were running away abroad to the USA to study and that's why he had worse results. Ok, except that it's the same in Romania and Greece but they results are comparable or better. It's obvious that no one here will make the UK or the Netherlands, because we don't have such resources and money but I think we can repeat the Romanian results (2 gold - 3 silver in Paris) and that will be a much better result than the 2 silver in this year.
    • Abbagnale boasted that he had 80 per cent a few days before the vote (I still have the screen) and ran again as a result of a power deal. Not a great loss.   I have doubts about the new technical director though, you can't announce him during the congress, brandishing the scalp of the Abbagnale era technical staff (who then, were Crispi's men). Let's hope there are no rifts between the new staff and the athletes, it had to be handled better.
    • I was surprised by Abbagnale's defeat. I thought he was a sure of victory, since he decided to run - I read some source that he didn't know if he would start before Paris 2024. What do you think about it?

    • Cattaneo was good but his peak was in Tokyo 2021. Then there was such stabilization - stagnation. In Paris the result was in line with expectations but without the wow effect. They threw everything that was best into the quadruple sculls and it was enough for a only silver. Now without the lightweight sculls in LA I think that radical changes are needed to remain competitive. Previously there was a 3-year Olympic cycle due to Covid, so big changes weren`t good but now I think the time is right. Although of course more funds are needed for this sport in Italy, because even the best coach will not overcome this vel our men`s alpine skiing sector
    • @Gianlu33 we posted the same (great) news at the same time  
    • Davide Tizzano (1996 Olympic Champion, men's double sculls) is the new President of the Italian Federation, as he defeated the (now former) President Giuseppe Abbagnale by a very small margin (52% to 48%) in last week's federal elections   and he's already at work to make up for the last 8 disappointing years (at least in terms of Olympic success): his first move is bringing back home  Antonio Colamonaci  who made  great in the past 8 years   https://www.oasport.it/2024/11/canottaggio-cambia-la-direzione-tecnica-dellitalia-arriva-il-guru-che-ha-reso-grande-la-romania/   let's see if he can make  great again, now
