Kurek and Leon giving Poland the thinnest of a lifeline. Remontada, for once please?
We are getting mauled, can’t win without a libero ffs
I mostly agree with that. These days, other than Manchester Untied, WC, Euro and the CL, football doesn’t excite me as it used to.It’s a shame volleyball is so irrelevant, much more exiting sport than football
Totally agree with you. I am surprised such events have made it to Olympics while squash is still not part of Olympics.I'm a bit sick of all of these new events, bmx, skateboarding, speed climbing, breakdancing (FFS), surfing and even hydrofoil windsurfing seems a bit gimmicky. Others like Golf and tennis seem like vanity events for a few elite players who enter. And I'm not sure of the point of sports like football and rugby 7's were is isn't representative of the main sport.

I just wonder how is volleyball outside of the Olympics and other big events.
I used to go to the games a lot back when I was a teenager in Poland, every point was super important and exciting, but me being young and edgy I missed a little bit of rivalry and emotions between the fans.I just wonder how is volleyball outside of the Olympics and other big events.
Poland will do this
Damn. Scary. Well then. Let's see if we can hold up our part of the deal tonight
Italy and by a much wider margin than Poland was against USAWho is favorite for Italy-France?
In theory Italy. The last 3 years post-Tokyo have been a Poland vs Italy affair(we beat them in the WC final, they beat us in the Euro final), and these Olympics were supposed to be the third and final chapter of that rivalryWho is favorite for Italy-France?
not to jinx, but see you on SaturdayIn theory Italy. The last 3 years post-Tokyo have been a Poland vs Italy affair(we beat them in the WC final, they beat us in the Euro final), and these Olympics were supposed to be the third and final chapter of that rivalry
In practice, France are the reigning Olympic champions, play at home, have arguably the best player in the world, and their top level might still be the highest of anyone
That said, we've won most of the encounters(incluing the WC) in the last 3 years

It's honestly amazing at this point.Ffs saddle broke, GB and their luck.
This is a full on curse now. GB’s part of the athlete’s village must have been built on an Indian burial ground.Ffs saddle broke, GB and their luck.
Ah the saddle didn't break, he fell off it!
