Sarge, about intelligence, I just compared the volleyball guys to the football guys and then decided they are more intelligent and gentlemen.

I am really happy for the american team, they were great! They overcome the death in the family of their coach, it was very tragic what happened to the coach...

about the Russian Japanese movie you have to ask the Japanese film company who made it. They can help you...

Princess - Yes, that last set was a nailbiter!

Yes, this was a great victory of the Americans. After that tragic event in the coach's family just before the Olympics started for them. A gold medal to be proud of.

Congrats to the American men! It was a great win. I just wish they wouldn't wear so many tattoos. I have never seen so many volleyball men wearing so many tattoos. It got to the point where I thought I was watching an NBA game.

Volleyball is the game with the most handsome and intelligent men!

I had to chuckle at that: handsome and intelligent!!

I have never seen so many volleyball men wearing so many tattoos

Neither have I. Must be a cult or craze. Maybe the wearers are trying to prove a point, but I don't see what.- - Whatever. Both teams played a dramatic, very good game. The suspense was often unbearable. Congrats to both the US and Brazil, the stars in this competition!

Some of the Brazilians have tattoos too. Looks dumb. Even if they are actually intelligent!

What happened to Japan?

Japan got blown out - they ( the men ) failed to win one match in Beijing. At least the women won two matches and made it to the quarterfinals where they got blown out by the Brazilians.

What happened to Japan?

They might have lost at some point. Not really the kind of thing many Japanese viewers are ready to see or hear about. So it was all very hush hush.

Maybe tattoos would help the Japanese! They need all the help they can get, especially a new coach.

good game to watch, I too was intrigued by the tattoos - many of them were pretty bad!

Congratulations! The US definitely played a good game, and have scooped up a lot of golds in the last couple of days. They're still in second place, but have an amazing medal count and probably did better than all the other countries in the Games, all told. Well done, Americans.

volleyball players usually go for the clean image, so yes tattoos are tasteless. But thank goodness for USA it wasn't a beauty contest! Well done Brazil too, it seems like a long time since both reached Olympics finals.

I did not notice the tattoos because I was paying attention to the dramatic suspence on the playground. It was a very intelligent game and I am a little bit surprised that you will call the volleyball players dumb.
