OMG!!!

Bulgaria back in control...

Bulgaria gives up a good lead...

Mexico hasn't even won a set yet. But the way Canada played Belgium, who knows. Man, if Canada could have just taken one more set from Belgium they'd pretty much clinch with a win over Mexico now.

Go Bulgaria!

It wasn't that bad, it was worse.

Exactly. This was, "You all need psychological counselling because something is going on there" level.

I need to let it go, but I just can't imagine (mostly because it never has happened to me, and will never happen to me) having a ticket to the Olympics sitting in front of me and then giving that performance. If you didn't watch the game, it wasn't just a loss. It wasn't just a high seeded team defeating a low seeded team (Canada is ranked significantly higher than Belgium regardless). It was a slaughter. The first set was humiliating to watch, like watching a sex scene with your parents when you expected a nice PG 13 movie. You can't just get up, you can't say anything. You just have to watch it and hope it ends soon. The second set was fine, not great. The third set started off with the characters taking their clothes off again in front on your parents, but somehow Canada battled back. This was the only time they looked competent. They had many, many, opportunities to win the set but instead they gave a blowjob in front of you and your mother. The fourth set was simply not professional from the Canadians. It was an embarrassment. Your parents stopped watching the sex scene with you and started doing it themselves in front of you. It was that level of embarrassment and disrespect. Like I said, I can't imagine ever doing it, or why anyone ever would do it. But yet I sat through it. And now I'm scarred.

I mean...it's over. Clear your schedule.

Sorry to harp on it, but seriously. Before tournament: Just beat ARG and NDL, it'll be hard to do but if you do that you're good. If you take Poland to 5 sets you're basically in! OMG! Now: What the actual fuck? It's like finishing in the top-2 of the first 5 apparatus of the all round in gymnastics and then setting the 6th on fire, pissing on the camera and slapping the mothers of all the judges. Not taking away anything from Belgium, you were awesome! But, I'd say you expected more of a fight, too.

They got dominated. Like Poland dominating Mexico dominated. It was sad. Just wanted a little win, or at least a bit of a fight, after the Blue Jays went down. If it's top 3, Canada will get fourth. If it's top 2, Canada will get 3rd. It's tradition, don't know why I expect different.

Honestly wish they would have just lost to ARG or NDL and got it over with then. This was the most pathetic showing of a Canadian team in any sport in a long time. That sounds harsh, but seriously. Lose, that's fine. Lose 3-2, that totally fine. Lose 3-1 but put up a fight, that's fine. Sets 1 and 4 were embarrassing. Set 3 was terrible most of the time besides a nice run, then they gave it away. Whatever, it's not like they were going to medal in Paris. I just enjoy volleyball and would have liked to see them there, but obviously they don't deserve it. I just wanted a tight game this Friday night, been looking forward to it. Oh well.

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD SERVE A FUCKING BALL

Yeah, why not serve it out again.

Just..... A masterpiece in blowing your chance. I'm just a spectator. I can't imagine what it feels like to see your chance at the Olympics blow up in your face because you didn't even show up. I honestly feel bad for them, but they did it to themselves. Score ONE point last match and they're likely in. But two sets they didn't show up. I just don't get it.

Honestly, the lowest seeded teams haven't been this bad against the highest seeded. This is pathetic.

Win or lose, I was really looking forward to this game. Ask me how many times I Iooked forward to a Canadian team competing only to get nothing. Hope they lose tomorrow and get the usual 4th in the group. Fitting. Boo hoo, I know. Could have lost a hard fought match and it would have been fine. But this is bullshit.

Wow, not even close. I really had high hopes for this team after earlier wins. No offence, because they're very good, but Belgium isn't THIS good to make Canada look like a novice team.

Mathematically, yes. If they were to come back and win almost guaranteed. But as it looks now, losing 3-1, probably not.

Canada did a good job catching it up, and then they had it. And then they gave it away. LA 2028!

Canada's backline has been failing them the entire game. WHERE ARE YOU???!!!

I don't, but it's all more about where I am in the world at the time. I'm now in Central Zone, basically, so it's more normal than East Asia where I was before. TBH, I love playing volleyball, but I don't watch much on TV.

In the word of Matthew Mcconaughey: Alright, Alright, Alright!

Maar is a Monster!

What a save!
