Clever choice from Brazil coach, he gave priority to having a QF against either an unexperienced or underperforming team instead of just beating Korea and Argentina to pass group. Strong feeling all medallists will come from group A.

If Brazil even qualifies for the QF, which definitely isn't a given

Terrible decision from Jordi Ribera!

They objective is a medal. If they can't beat at least one of those nations (and Angola), then there is no way they win one.

So in QF we're probably going on Slovenia/Sweden/Poland. Good draw.

Group perfect in women. If it is to be eliminated, which is in the first phase, moving forward would have an easier clash in the quarterfinals, our team don't win the world championship in 2013 by chance.

I honestly do not have anything to say about this male group.

Great group for Brazil women's team, should get an "easier" QF - remember that in London we ended in first in Group A and had to face Norway in QF. Here I don't think we will end in first, but the possibility of reaching a semifinal is much bigger now.

 

Like @hoversaBR, I don't have much to say about the men's team. Any group would be hard for them and reaching QF will be difficult.

terrible draw, crucial match in OG is 1/4 and it will be so tough
