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.
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 Men's World Champs: FIRST LOOK @ BRAZIL's TOURNAMENT BUS! Sooooo Zeksi! Coach Rezende and team are using (borrowing) a bus from the Italian Armed Forces. Wow! They're so special! We also learned that there's an "officer" who takes the team from their hotel to the competition venue. Wow! THOUGHTS? We wont mind sitting beside Murilo. (Forget Jacqueline! Hahaha!)
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.
