Paula's Kiss

Brazil's PAULA PEQUENO gives Coach Guimaraes a kiss after the Coach official announced to the Brazilian Media that Paula will NOT be playing in Japan for the World Champs. Paula was injured at the Grand Prix and did not recover in time for the the tourney. It was a tearful event. Tears.

Murilo is Injured!

Remember when Leon & Murilo collided at the net during the Gold Medal Match? Well the MVP Murilo is indeed injured! Docs found 2 ruptured ligaments in his left foot. Well bb if you need someone to take care of you while you're wife Jacqueline is in Japan...CALL US! On a serious note, get better! Rest for 6 wks. ♥

Murilo's #1 Fan!

Well Well Well we think we've found our biggest rival when it comes to becoming Murilo's imaginary girlfriend! Seriously, we asked ourselves "How come she's there and we're not?"! Girlfriend is becoming a STALKER famous volleyball fan after talking to the Brazilian media claiming that she's Endres Murilo's BIGGEST FRIEND FAN!

Meet MIYUKI KIMURA from the beautiful country of Japan! She loves Brazil and most of Murilo. (We're just wondering...does she even know Japan has a men's team? Haha!)

She left her work regardless if she'd have enough vacation hours or not. She's taking so much risk just to see Murilo and team! Miyuki vowed that she'd be staying on the street in Italy all the way to the Final Round! Dang! Girlfriend must be really broke by now RICH!

On a serious note, we truly admire her passion and obsession to watch Brazil at the 2010 World Championship. That's amazing! She's putting her job at risk just to see her idol. Awwwwww Miyuki you can be our BFF! You're such a sweetheart! We respect the passion that you have.  Keep it up girlfriend!

By the way, if you're reading this...did you get that POST IT note we left on your forehead this morning when you woke up saying "Murilo loves you but he loves us more!" Hahahah! Just kidding!

Enjoy and take care!

The Paula Pequeno Update

Yipppeeee! One of our favorite players from Brazil has 100% recovered from the injury she sustained at the 2010 Grand Prix! Her doctor has released PAULA and she's now back to train with the rest of the team for the 2010 Women's World Champs in Japan! We're so happy! We're so happy!

Day Off for Brazil!

We're sad we did not get invited on their day off! Hahaha! But thank god this pretty lady named Letizia Reyes shared some pics of the players who made the most out of their rest day after beating Czech Republic in 5 games. Well well well Murilo and team deserved a day to rest. They've been BOOED working hard since the tourney started. Enjoy the pics!

We must admit BRUNO is NOT HOT such a talented young setter and he's doing a great job carrying the pressure on his shoulder. Seriously, this guy giving him a massage has the best job ever! 

DADDY GIBA spent time with a group of STALKERS pretty girls.

MURILO enjoys his day off in the gym FORGETTING JACQUELINE Hahaha! by resting his muscles.

Brazil: New Setter!

Rezende BRINGS ANOTHER SETTER! Even is the ill MARLON feels better for the 2nd Round, the staff has decided NOT TO LET HIM PLAY since he's not physically ready. He lost more than 5 kilos since he got pre-diagnosed with Chrons disease. Tears. The REPLACEMENT is a TV reporter who has played professionally and he is ALEX OLIVEIRA! (Whatever happened to Mauricio Lucatella?) From what we read, Rezende has NOT yelled at ALEX since he joined the practice. Well you better get ready bb, Rezende is saving his screams when the team plays against Poland and Bulgaria. Good luck! Feel better Marlon!

ALEXANDRE OLIVEIRA

"This could be my first and last World Championship since I am already 33. I want to play out there even for a second." -MARLON

2010 World Champs: First Look @ Brazil

It's been a tough week for Brazil and it seems like they are CURSE. Here's their "Curse List": Sergio didn't recover in time, Rezende had ankle surgery, Brazil lost to Germany twice this week, Marlon has intestinal prob, Dante has back muscle spasm and Murilo is not 100% (Coach didn't disclose his injury). Sad for Brazil but GO BRAZIL!

MAURIZIO LATELLA (Italian born Brazilian) has replaced MARLON temporarily. Marlon, the setter, is recovering from COLITIS. Latella is 35 years old with Zero International Experience.
