Are you a fan of volleyball??? I am and I was watching it on September 30th!<\/p>\n

What happened? September 30, 2018 – Poland shut out Brazil 3-0 (28-26, 25-20, 25-23) in a thrilling final of the 2018 FIVB Volleyball Men’s World Championship<\/strong> before yet another sellout crowd at Turin’s Pala Alpitour to collect the third world title in their history<\/strong>, after 1974 and 2014!<\/p>\n

Volleyball (siatk\u00f3wka<\/strong>) in Poland is a popular team sport. It is one of the most popular sports in Poland. The Men’s national team is ranked 2nd and the Women’s team is ranked 28th in the FIVB World Rankings. Both teams have a lot of success in international competitions.<\/p>\n

Poland beat Brazil in straight sets on Sunday to retain its World Championship title, with the United States finishing third (I was kind of rooting for both US and Poland!).\u00a0Led by Bartosz Kurek, Poland took the tight first set and then cruised through to the final victory in just 97 minutes.<\/p>\n
