cabiness42 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Um you can apparently kick the ball in Olympic volleyball...? As long as it isn't a carry or a double-hit, you can hit it with about anything, including the head and feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlliniKrush Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Had no idea. Just looked really odd to see an intentional kick count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabiness42 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Announcer on the Brazil-Honduras game: "This is the quarterfinals. One step from the semifinals. Two steps from the finals." Thanks for explaining how tournaments work. I had no idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danman31 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 4, 2012 -> 01:22 PM) USA Volleyball choking. We're up 2-0, now heading 5th game after getting smoked in game 4. The announcers made it sound like Russia was the favorite and it was actually them choking early and now it's just back to normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxFan1 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Well, something good happened for Serbia today, as they whooped on the US in water polo. The handball team has been a major disappointment but they beat up South Korea today and have a play-in game against Hungary, Murray outplayed Djokovic and has to hope to beat DelPo for a bronze, Cavic blew a medal in the last 25 meters in the 100m fly, the men's volleyball team needs to beat Russia and then hope Brazil beats Germany to qualify for the knockout round.

Might not be an open event but if murray hangs on he will have something Federer and djokovic both don't have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
