Argentina won the match against Peru 3-0. Korea therefore qualifies for the WC and Peru is out.

its good that asian teams have got the full vacancies for WC...
Argentina would win over Peru, that is what we could imagine when we watched what ARG had performed to us...they deserve this win and peru deserve the failure...hope they could bring us something refreshing when they face the big Brasil.
Korea is better than Argentina anyway, at least for the past win/loss records and even in WGP this year...so i am happy with this conclusion..
for the wild cards, it is rumors that Russia and Cuba have secured their positions in advance...although i believe that Poland might have bigger possibility to be in than the double WCH champion.
IMO, if FIVB would like to keep it fair...Argentina and Russia could be the winners for the wild card...better than Cuba and Poland
favourites for the Wild Cards
1st level
Italy - WC defending champion
Russia - double WCh champion
Argentina - South America Vice Champion mostly (with lower world ranking on Jan 15th)
if Argentina wins the continental final, then Korea takes this place.
2nd level
Poland - no reasons
Cuba - 3rd of Norceca
Thailand - 4th of Asia
Turkey - semi finalist of Europe
Brazil beat Argentina in straight sets. 25-10, 25-07, 25-17 and won its 17th South American title.
congrats Brazil for continuing creating its volleyball history in continental championship.
also congrats Korean ladies win their position finally in WC..

I didnt see the matches so I cant comment, but for what I read, no one understands why the mvp award didnt go to JAqueline, that she was the best brasilian player in the tournament.

perhaps because the officials are all sheilla fans...
seriously though, jacqueline shined many times but there are times when she struggled especially in reception. not to mention her errors against Colombia... it's nice to see her in better shape though...
I'm watching Brazil-Colombia right now and it's a pity that colombia doesn't have a good setter... Montaño is just incredible
I've only seen clips of Montano which were impressive but after just watching her attack http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jiw1FwEoGr4 16-24 in the first set I think she may be the best female athlete in volleyball right now. The commentators said she can spike touch 335cm!!!!
