[JoshMartini007 2,538]

I'm a big fan of the Vanuatu team. I hope they can reach the Olympics, but unless they get a couple of great results it looks like they will finish just outside of a spot. The continental cup will be their best chance though they'll have to get past Australia and China.

In case you missed it, Dutchman Steven van de Velde thought it'd be a wonderful idea to travel to England and have sex with a 12 year old girl. English justice unsurprisingly thinks otherwise and he's facing quite a prison sentence.

Congratulations to the little scoundrel pedophile!

Says he met her on Facebook, they talked for a while and she agreed with the whole thing. Especially with the youth of nowadays I guess that's definitely possible, but, obviously the biggest thing: he is the adult, he should know better 

And even if he had already travelled to England he still had the chance to say "Ok you know what? Let's eat a BigMac and some fries and then I go back home", but nope. Guess we won't see him in Rio  (although he wouldn't qualify anyway normally)

I'm testing how results formatting from FIVB can pollute the threads.

About competition, unfortunate we lost one of our men's doubles. But ok, we still with seven duos .

Elize Maia and Duda mantained their great job at Maceió Open and did two relatively easy games.

If only they could reach the quarter finals. Just one match
