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

At 23-24 Leon should serve lighter to let France make a nervous mistake.

Oh, Kurek is crying

Silver for  

 

Well, it’s not the medal I wanted, but super proud of the guys for even getting to this stage after so many heartbreaking quarterfinal exits

? 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🙂

See Grbić, this is what happens when you leave Bednorz off your roster.

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

I understand it but u made it very quick. Harsh. Level of volleyball has fallen? This i don't understand. They are all tired after whole season. Our characters are not easy to break. Too many injuries. And it's like writing with 12-5 for Egypt in handball that they will easily win with Spain 😉. Sure, it seemed we will lose but not that easy. Kurek wasn't healthy too, no Bieniek. Half Zatorski, Fornal 80%.
