I do not believe. I hope Germany can get this team out of Tokyo, but I doubt it.

France

I think it's amazing how Serbia is irregular. It is something that deserves to be studied.

In Brazil it's hard to say, but I can list the possible candidates: Isaquias Queiroz (Canoeing): 6 times world champion, 12 world championship medals, 3 Olympic medals. It is perhaps our best athlete at the moment. Bruno Rezende (Volleyball): Olympic Champion, twice silver in the world championship, currently holds all the possible titles that a volleyball player can win. Arthur Zanetti (Gymnastics): Olympic Champion, World Champion, Pan American Champion, South American Champion. He is for sure our best gymnast of this decade. Ana Marcela (Open Water): She has 11 world championship medals, is a favorite in any competition, a pity she has not yet had her Olympic medal. But Tokyo 2020 is her chance. Martine & Kahena (Sailing): World champions, Olympic champions, Pan American champions. They are extremely regular, almost never have bad results. Of those above, I think Isaquias is the best of the decade.

Overrated player. I honestly don't think he's such a great player, but he's a star and can do whatever he wants, right?

Times change, but France continues to struggle against Brazil. If I'm not mistaken, in the last 5 games (in the world championship) there were 4 wins and a draw for Brazil.

Montenegro beat Senegal by 4 goals. Each championship the african teams show a little evolution. Interesting.

You were very optimistic. I don't even know if we can beat a really good European team today.

I don't know if Germany and Russia are very strong, but I think we can beat all the teams in this group. But I don't think we will qualify.

Congratulations Serbia Hi Puerto Rico

Unexpectedly easy tournament and respectful game against USA (even with defeat). I'm surprised.

We can't even participate in the women's tournament with these teams. I imagine our level in this sport.

Alan MVP We are not the greatest example of renewal, but little by little our future is emerging.

It is not possible, Brazil is the unluckiest country in women's gymnastics, everything goes wrong, and when it works we are robbed. Flavia and Nory were awesome.

Is this the only way to qualify a team?

I'm surprised with Iran, I know Russia can have a lot of strong teams, but I still expected more from them against this team B. Anyway it looks like they won't have problems in the Asian Olympic qualifier, Australia and China are very weak.

Certainly Poland was better prepared and more dominant a month ago. I was referring to the great expectation of fans over Cubans. At least in Brazil it is always expected here that Brazil will win with Leal on court, that he will do what he has done for years at Sada Cruzeiro and when that does not happen the fans are disappointed. Very optimistic. Maybe because we don't trust other players so much.

In Brazil everyone said that with Leal Brazil would be unbeatable. The same also saw with some Polish fans on social networks. Everyone must be brought to reality someday.

Vital Heynen reminds me a lot of Bernardinho. Every game is a different scandal, it gives me agony.

How does Italy lose this way? The French team is not that strong to win so easily.

The FIVB needs to have 30 tournaments each year, it would not miss this opportunity.
