Olympics Volleyball

So i had tickets to semi final of women's volleyball, which turned out to be Brazil v Japan, with the winner taking on USA in the final. Japan appear to have played consistently throughout the group phase, whereas Brazil (the holders) were starting to gain momentum having lost 2 group matches in qualification.

Given tickets were sold a long time ago, its always interesting to see whether the crowd is going to be neutral or if both teams supporters are able to get tickets. All i can say is that we were all given an insight into what Rio is going to be like - as there was green and gold everywhere.

Brazil - who appeared the more relaxed throughout - dominated and won in three sets.
