Brazil Beats Canada On Crazy Finish In World Volleyball Championship Match

Canada hold on for as long as they can in wild finish, but Brazil finishes them off.

You obviously already know that the World Volleyball Championship is currently under way in Poland, but you may have missed the bananas finish to the Brazil-Canada match on Saturday. It's understandable: it's the weekend, shit happens, and sometimes you just miss something.

Brazil beat Canada in straight sets, but Canada really made Brazil work for the final point of the match. Like a tennis match, when one player is making the other run all over the court just to keep the point alive, Brazil had Canada on the ropes for nearly all 40 seconds of this point. Unlike a tennis match, there are six players on either side of the net. The result is a flurry of guys running and diving all over the place. This is volleyball as imagined by Michael Bay.
