Go China

I know we're used to teams like Cuba in this sport, but the way Turkey and Santareli behaves... Well, for anyone who likes a show it should be interesting.

Ze Roberto was disappointing as a coach in this game against China.

On paper an excellent team, but that has shown some clear deficiencies that were not expected. First, our block is not being as effective as last year, despite having two excellent MBs (perhaps the best pair of teams in this final round). We still don't have a regular opposite, and our most regular opposite is good at blocking, serving, defending, but the attack is very weak and we can already see that Gabi cannot lead a team in attack, no matter how spectacular she is and the other OH is whatever. Well, and lastly, our service is awful, with the exceptions of Kisy and maybe Thaisa. Ze Roberto is a genius in this sport, and I have no doubt that he could find all the answers to these problems in the game against China. I also don't think the Chinese are clear favorites like the vinipereira thinks, but the team needs to improve.

Covell Great result !!

I'm really impressed with the quality of this tournament overall, lots of fantastic games.

Well, I'm not surprised, we always lose to the USA anyway (from what I saw we won one of the last 10 games against them). The team has potential, but perhaps the lack of a player like Ana Cristina or Gabi has shown some very clear deficiencies that were not shown in Japan. The team has a lot to improve if they want to win this VNL which is the main competition of the season (For the Olympics Qualifs we will qualify anyway, so whatever ).

Vital Heynen is just boring. This man can destroy any sporting environment.

Serbia 0-4 in the first week . Okay, they are without Boskovic, but the team is more talented than that (Last year's tournament showed that). Not a good start for Guidetti.

What a shame, my God!!

I remember that after Rio 2016, many people were concerned about the future of our national team, because it took us a long time to give new players the opportunity and the players we had, unfortunately, did not compare to our golden generation. I'm happy that today we can see new and talented players in Brazil, I can finally see a good future. And of course, all thanks to our coach who is spectacular.

I'm really surprised with Brazil, the team played well even in the defeat against Serbia. Naturally, I hope we'll lose in the next round, but it's already been a great championship.

Now I see that our team lost 52-0 to and 43-0 to . Seriously, how did we become a core team?

Our national volleyball federation and its president have been suspended for 6 months after allowing volleyball player Wallace, who was suspended for offensive "jokes" against the president of Brazil, to play in the final of the Superliga, our national championship. Among the consequences are the possible cut of sponsorship by Banco do Brasil, which could prevent Brazil from participating in competitions in 2023. https://ge.globo.com/volei/noticia/2023/05/02/conselho-de-etica-do-cob-aumenta-suspensao-de-wallace-para-5-anos-e-corta-verbas-da-cbv.ghtml

Brazil is defeated in women's football. Another normal day then.

Wow, what a horror these results from Brazil are.

Well, let's see how the USA and Italy will perform in this tournament. If they do the same as the last world championship, I see Poland easily beating them, especially playing at home.

I don't know about the others, but Brazil will be in Rio de Janeiro.

All the teams that have been a nightmare for us in recent years.

It's a nice theory, but we know it will never work that way.

Brazil could be banned from this sport. It's not possible for us to accumulate so much shame like that.

Eaton got a 93.00 is a joke. A pity, because Akio had an incredible championship. Anyway, we are used to being robbed. Still silver and bronze is a great result.

We depend on Rebeca to fight for medals, but we can qualify even without her.
