Russia won Men's Volleyball in a great match!!!!!

What a great team!!! And what a great match!!!!

Loosing 0-2 to Brazil and then grab the third set at the very f**king last moment, painfully diffcult win in fourth set and steamrolling Brazil in fifth set. That was fantastic. OMFG, my heart almost break, I need a medicine :D

Brazil were playing like gods or almost like gods, but as I've noticed it long ago, thery aren't specifically emotional stable. Dissappoint them once and they falter.

It was amazing!!!! And let's not forget Brazil had a match point on the third set!!!

IIRC they had a couple of match points, no?

Oh well, this's almost a national feature. First, bringing the situation to the point of no chance to win, and then with heroic efforts trying to fix it. Worked this time.

The match was even more dramatic than last year's World League.

Wow! Brazil is good. NBC stopped the Olympics last night after the first set. I thought America was going to run away with it. They were getting everything.

Is there sand volleyball as well?

They stopped broadcasting after the first set?!
Was it live or a pre-record?

NBC have been getting a lot of shit for the way they are covering the games. 

I know that, just trying to figure out if that was on purpose or just coincidence

Just watched a set of brazil vs. Usa volleyball. So far USA has been dominating! 25-13 I THINK. USA WAS NOT LETTING NOTHING GO.

But that's volleyball and volleyball Brasil dominates.

Tomorrow I expect Gold for male volleyboll too because volleyball is Brazil.


Or not...

We lost to Russia this time.

I don't know why Brazil lost because the team played an amazing volleyball... they opened two sets ahead and lost match point... after that the team go down.

i would be ashamed about some boxing decisions...that is the olympics can't the judges be fair then? that "home bonus" is well known in sports but shouldn't be at the olympics and that was extreme the last days. that "olympic oath" is just a phrase without worth...
