Olympic watch (2016 Rio news, qualifications, athletes)
Wow, love the passion on display at the end by both the broadcasters and the players (of both teams).
The guys on NBCSN in America just now mentioned the Iran match during live coverage of the Brazil/Canada game. They basically said it's good to see a heated rivalry being continued. Fun for fans, good for the sport.
Vayveyla, 122 pages of this thread? Time for a new one! C'mon mods. Folks like me are dusting off our PFDC accounts, happy to be back, feeling the Olympic spirit. Would be nice to see a designated thread for Volleyball and Wrestling. Merci. :-)
WooooW never tought i'd see the Vizard around here! its been a looong ass time
simple adjustment needed to pull off all these close losses
KEEP YOUR FKING SERVES IN..!! Stupid how many points we lost to shittt service..
youve gotto keep the pressure on your opponents and make them earn every FKING POINT
Rather than gifting them points by trying to get too cute with your serves ...!!
and WTF is up with us always needing to get a kick in the rear before we wake and start playing..!! wanna WIN must come outa the gate confident and ready to pounce on the opponents and dent their confidence early..!
i swear I should be captaining these homeboys .... i'd be getting a dozen points personally with my wicked floater serves..!!
Stayed up till 4am last night to watch this and don't regret it one bit. One of the best matches ever. Shqme we didn't serve better when we had the match points.
I'm so proud that TM played much better against the title contenders. We have a very, very good chance of going to the next round facing two weak opponents. Yet TM should NOT take either of those teams highly and go for straight sets to ensure they advance. If we play like this, we will be the dark horse in the tourney.

There is now a thread for Olympic Volleyball as well as for Wrestling
I must not be familiar enough with FIVB volleyball rules. How is Iran in good shape to qualify for the knockout rounds after losing their first two matches?
The group stage consists of 2 x 6 teams. The top 4 from each group qualify to the Quarter-Finals.
We are favourites against Egypt and Cuba. Those two wins should suffice in order to advance. And of course, we might also be able to pull off something against Russia, our last opponent of the group stage.
The big test for us is the Quarter Final match. It's going be the most important volleyball match EVER for Iran. I'm not exaggerating. It's going to be all or nothing.
