France v Slovenia another epic 5 setter with some clutch (and slightly controversial) plays deciding it.
All the crowds have been great at this Olympics especially when Europeans are involved but I feel like the volleyball fans are next level.

And it was!
Similar for Poland / Italy soon
Either of them could jump to #1 overall with a 3-0 win.
More likely a closer match, winner takes the group and has a good chance of pushing towards medals.

Just finished watching Poland versus Italy. Italy were so impressive, might be the best performance I’ve seen in this Olympics so far. Will be hard to beat.

France could just as easily be up 2-0

Just catching up on all this now. Men’s QFs have started.
May as well have a crack at women’s predictions. Expect Brazil to stumble at some stage, but I’ll back them in.
G - Brazil
S - Italy
B - USA

Poland v Slovenia was a fizzer. the Poles in control for all but a brief period.
Italy v Japan is heating up nicely.

Dead set my favourite Olympic sport.
Japan inspired!!! Behind all set but win the final 4 points. Let’s go!! Some of those retrievals at the end were outrageous!

I’m enjoying the commentary which is something that does happen often.
I don’t remember hearing this guy in the prelims, he’s great. I like the American lady too.

both sides have incredible hitters.
Italy block better, Japan scramble better. even Steven.
