baron-pierreIV Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 For the 2015 World League finals in Rio continuing tomorrow, host Brazil was eliminated today. USA v. Serbia on one side in the semi-finals; it's France v. Poland for the other. http://worldleague.2015.fivb.com/en/news/usa-win-to-advance-top-with-france?id=55012 The women's Grand Prix finals will be in Omaha, running July 22-26. As of press time, Brazil, China, Italy, Russia and host USA take 5 spots. Sixth spot was still up for grabs. My guess is it'll be between Serbia and Japan.

baron-pierreIV Posted July 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 It was weird watching TWO gold-medal, volleyball matches at the same time. I had the women's Grand Prix China v. USA on my tablet; and then the ARG v. BRZIL men's of PanAm on the NBCSports channel. I was going to say that the women's game was more dynamic but ARGENTINA really pounded the Brazilians who have great, new good-looking players! Migod, the Argentines were ON FIRE!! (And then Brazilian women lost to the USA in the PanAm gold). This was not a good year in indoor VolleyB for the Brazilians. The World Cup in Japan in September for the Olympics has an EVEN MORE PUNISHING schedule: 11 matches in 17 days -- for TWO places. Unless the USA women fall apart, USA is bound to be one of those 2. The other spot will be fought over by Russia v. China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
