Respect Brazil (the king of the whole America) from IRAN (the king of the Asia)
❤️🇮🇷❤️🇧🇷❤️
Brazil my favorit team volyball
My only dream is to reach 5,000
How happy my little ones will be 🤱👩
How grateful I will be to you 🙏🙏🙏🙏
You are my support, I thank you from all parts of the world 🌍🌍🌍🌍🌎🌎🌎🌎🌎
China 🇨🇳 will win
Japão sendo Japão luta e sempre morre na praia
Leal on fire!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Nippon did not play at their full potential that we know they can. Nishida was under used today. Nevertheless, congrats to Brazil. Another victory that guarantees them in the knockout stage.
ishikawa came in the latter part of set one
Brazil has just too much power on their offense. Still a great match. Well done Japan and Brazil
6:20 8:33
Ishikawa could do better 🌝💔💔
16:13
I'm honestly impressed by the time and effort you put into these videos, Keep it up!
🙃
Brazil is back.
5:06 esse líbero é patético e a permanência dele na seleção mais ainda. o cara não faz o menor esforço pra levantar uma bola ou pra dar uma cobertura
Sem comparação, o nosso brasileiro joga mais.
Japão tem um time bom, boa defesa, técnica, mas nunca ganha nada de importante. Este ano não será diferente. Eles têm mais "Fãs" do que chances, em verdade.
where the nishida? japan setter is so bad
Brasil 🇧🇷👏
japan middle blocker is very weak
no power no block no defense no serve
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Leal voltando à sua grande forma na seleção como antes.
why do they even have yamauchi seriously
Para mí ver jugar a Japón es aprendizaje y es un espectáculo maravilloso. El resto del mundo copia mucho del voleibol Japonés felicidades Japón
Yuki ishikawa is not still in shape due to his injury and for that it's a big lost for the entire team..but still you did your best…fighting
Always happy to see Japan lose. Such an overrated team.
That music though
Japan played a great game! So much respect from Iran!
Tetap semangat yuki ishikawa.. aku mendukungmu ❤️🎉🎉🎉
the person responsible for the defeat is the coach, the alignments are very poorly planned, that is why they cannot play through the centers, and the other lefty must enter for nishida, they have controlled him for a long time
Bicho, Cachopa dá outras perspectivas aos ataques do Brasil. A movimentação fica bem mais rápida.
Sad not to see leal in his original national team
Brazilian libero getting hit in the face in every match 😁
O Flávio é uma dificuldade pra virar bola que chega a dar raiva de ver ele jogando, e ainda reclamam do lucão está velho, mas o lucão jogando com qq levantador e contra qq seleção do mundo ele consegue virar bola, se a missão do central é primeiro bloquear então nem isso o Flávio consegue… 🤷🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
6:21
2人かっこよすぎ
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷💯💯💯💯💯
I'm sure it's not the end for japanese team
PS: they are my favourites
6:02 すごすぎるラリー
やはりブラジルの壁は高かった…。
石川祐希が5人いれば、勝てたかもしれない。
Leal no1
Gente!!! Perceberam a evolução de Leal, sabe o motivo? a precisão nas bolas de ponta, quem joga vôlei sabe que há anos a bola de ponta de Bruninho é uma MERDA.
Cachopa Titular.
Nishida's play today was very poor.
I didn't feel the desire to beat Brazil🇧🇷 from the Japanese team.
If you don't have the enthusiasm, you🇯🇵 should leave Europe as soon as possible.
I think Fernando should remain as the setter. Bruno take a sit and enjoy the matches for a change.
Lucarelli fazendo mais pelo fundo de quadra do que o próprio Thales
Although Japan scored a lot of points, I don´t think they were at their best. They looked nervous, maybe because a lack of communication. Also you can see how they aren´t trying to save some balls as hard as they ususally do. About Brazil, nothing to say, Yoandy Leal is a beast between beasts.
Pra quem percebeu, quem está salvando o Brasil é o Sada Cruzeiro, devido ao entrosamento e não o Renan.
#forarenan
Vamos aguardar os jogos de verdade:Polonia,USA,Servia,isso ai é só ilusão!
Cuidado, Flávio! Esse ataque seu é muito forte, pode machucar alguém do outro lado da quadra.
