Iran can be in semifinals

 

nah :d I wish so but that's not realistic. we could be in semifinal 4 years ago but we blew our chance against a team weaker than us (Germany)

 

I'm glad with these two wins but I know our level. there are 5-6 teams much stronger in the competition. a top 6 finish will be fantastic. but let's finish the 1st round first.

Lol remember how I joked that maybe our players didn't know that all results are carried to next round? Well, it seems they really didn't know! Someone had told them that it was only results against q

This picture shows two Brazilian players showing the numbers 7 and 1 with their fingers, and this has been attributed to supporting presidential candidate Jair Bolsonaro (voting number 17) in the upcoming presidential elections.

The catch is: Bolsonaro is very outspoken against LGBT people (besides being openly racist and misogynistic). There are black players on the team (one of the two players showing support is black) and, historically, volleyball has been considered the favorite sport of gay males in Brazil (and we have plenty of rumors about closeted gay players on the national team).

The national volleyball federation decided to forbid any political manifestations after the picture was taken, but the damage is too big to cover it up now.

All I want now is that this team loses all of the matches. Bunch of retards.

Most wealthy people support him, it's no surprise.

Not exactly. "Traditional" wealthy people support Geraldo Alckmin or even João Amoedo (a bank owner). Bolsonaro is supported by those who are racist, misogynistic and against LGBT people. He is pro-military and many people mask their prejudices by saying they support him because he supports the military, but this is bullshit. These people just want black people to remain poor, women to remain as servants inside of their own houses and LGBT people to die. Brazil can be an extremely disgusting place sometimes, and now even our sports teams are utterly disgusting...

As far as I'm concerned, there are three gay players in the team (two of them are quite open about this in their instagram accounts), so it's sad to see them playing with openly homophobic guys. Maurício Souza has said in the past thay being gay is "not normal" among other disgraceful remarks. William Arjona JUST joked about a gay kiss in one of our telenovelas (it's funny that he's at the World Championship and STILL has time to worry about a harmless kiss).

 

So while I want to support the team (it's Brazil after all), I can't get much excited about them - in any competition really (I didn't even care about the Olympic gold other than a thing that helped us at the medal table). On the other hand, I want to support some of the guys. It's a strange feeling, something that I can't get my head around, but probably one of the reasons I cheer much more for our women's team.

In Facebook's volleyball groups, which is mostly composed of LGBT people, people were disgusted by it, of course, but it seems like it did not stop there. At Instagram, some people supported what they did and they gave children's phrases like "É melhor Jair se acostumando" in the Mauricio Souza case.

 

William also caused a controversy over the gay kiss on television, said television could pass this, but could not talk about the "gay book" or whatever it was they wanted to "introduce into schools." People have complained, he invented an excuse that said this because there is no gay kiss, because gay kiss is normal like any other, bla bla bla, no one fell of course.

 

The reputation of the national team has fallen long after that, indeed.

      In last year, we were were happy with Brignone's wins, and today we're excite that della Mea is in the top 10... It's hard to imagine a bigger fall... And Goggia should give up on the giant slalom and focus on the speed events – Vonn isn't wasting time on the giant slalom, but is training for downhill and SG. Goggia last one finished on the podium in the giant slalom in march 2018, and she has no any chance of winning an Olympic medal at the regular competition. It's a waste of time and energy to finish 8th or 9th and risk injury. And we have to accept that without Brignone, we have no chance of winning a medal in the giant slalom in Cortina, and that's it.

      Some surprises and fun results so far at this year's Worlds. Like a few minutes ago, when  Harrysson made the 1/8 with another very good performance. Now he plays Jonny Clayton, who this afternoon made a stellar performance in a tough battle with Zonneveld. I don't see an easy match for Clayton, even though on paper he would have wished such an opponent for a 1/8 before the tournament.   Also i'm delighted that my fav Gary Anderson seems to be in good form, though at his age, he is prone to sudden bad matches at any time.
