Well maybe so they can put USA in some tournament.

I hope Brazil returns to the old results, 17 medals to be exact. Chances for this exist, but should be between 14 or 15 medals. Big Sports - Volleyball (Indoor/Beach), Judo, Football, Swimming... - 9/10 medals. Traditional Sports - Athletics, Gymnastics, Boxing, Taekwondo - 1/2 medals New Sports - Karate/Skateboard/Surfing - 3/6 medals Canoeing - 1/2 medals (Probably 1) I do not believe we can win a medal in a other sport, but there are chances in tennis, table tennis, cycling, slalom canoeing ...

0 medal for sure. If a miracle happens, near the impossible, there could be a medal in Women's Snowboard Cross or Bobsleigh 4 man (they are top 20 in the world ranking). But I could bet millions, quietly, that this is not going to happen.

I voted good. Our football team went very well in the qualifiers for the World Cup, our volleyball teams achieved good results, bigger than expected. In addition, sports that are traditionally strong, such as Judo, Beach Volleyball, Skateboarding and Surfing, have also had excellent results, as well as Canoeing with 5 finals in Olympic races and 2 medals (!!). Athletics, Swimming and Men's Handball also achieved some good results. In the bad part, women's basketball is not going to the world championship, our women's handball team was eliminated in the first phase of the world championship. And gymnastics, well ... I expected more.

France

So the final will be the same as the men's championship? Norway will have its revenge opportunity. Anyway, congratulations to both teams.

34-17

Our team even ridiculous and passing the limits of mistakes made good games against European teams? Okay, this team still has a lot to offer.

Go Koreaaaa

This is what happens when your team has 2 less players, the wings did nothing the whole championship., except to lose goals.

http://live.livewidget.net/streamvideo10/brazil-vs-montenegro-live-stream-4532970.html

Norway They are in the most difficult group, but with them seems to be the easiest.

Easy group for us. Fight for the first place with Serbia.

Congratulations referees, you were the best players of Denmark today. Anyway, great evolution of our team, I hope they can beat Montenegro on Friday. And what a day for Toft, she was simply wonderful!

Another defeat, but at least the defense was excellent, with the amount of errors I would expect a 40 goals for Russia. But this attack...I've never seen so much goal lost.

Japan

We beat the powerful Tunisia. Now I expect an easy victory against weak Russia.

Me too. This year we massacred Argentina, we drew with France and we lost by a goal for Romania.

I just hope this coach does not stay after that championship. Our defense is just ridiculous. We would not even reach the Pan American final.

No, on the whole game, the referee clearly favored Japan. But the end too, I still think that ball came into the goal before it ends.

A lot of surprises at the beginning. Brazil 28-28 Japan France 23-24 Slovenia South Korea 24-22 Netherlands Poland 33-30 Sweden (Ok, this is not really a surprise)

Ridiculous. Theft!!!! Referee is a thief
