What level these referees. Harming both teams a lot.

Match MVP: Referees

 

I honestly can't remember what games were like before the challenge system. 

 

And Alan. Honestly he's much better than Wallace, but of course Wallace is almost a god here in Brazil for his performance in 2016.

first rule in volleyball, never count Brazil out, they always can come back . from anywhere.

 

feel really bad for Argentina, they were playing flawless (it wasn't like Brazil was playing bad IMO) I think that red card in the 3rd set was the turning point of the match, they still had 1 point lead and had to receive the next serve.

 

btw there were several crucial mistakes from the refs. I can't tell which team benefited more. it was for both sides. but it was one of the worst officiating I ever seen in volleyball. they really needed the video challenge system here. most of the calls were random. 1 for yellow team. 1 for blue team

 

I had to shorten my sleep time because of this but it worthed it . I love watching matches like this where both teams play like their lives depend on it. and Leal probably never imagined he will win a "South American Championship" medal someday

Our volley is the opposite of our basket, they NEVER win an important/historic match. Never. 

 

Why do I follow this sport?

And the opposite is for Brazil, they win volleyball important matches and titles but no in basketball
