    Amazing how Poland scored 3 more total points than Russia, yet still lost the match.

    And my prediction of a 3-0 Brazil victory over the hapless Japanese proved correct. Japan had a 19-16 lead in the second set, then completely collapsed, allowing Brazil to score the last 9 points.

    I didn't watch last night the Japanese game but Serrano, what you say about their 2nd set was their "trade mark". I am quite emotional when I watch games and I just couldn't stand seeing Japanese team doing quite well many times leading with 23-19 to lose the set 26-24. Every single match they did this - very frustrating - taking difficult points and letting the set slip easily in the later stage.

    Congratulations to the top 3 teams - very strong tournament as a whole. Just hope Japan will revise their TV rights and give time also for the other games or let people access to the online streaming.
