Sorry about that! I was too lazy scrolling down, didn't see it
Butko and Pavlov are both in the wide roster of Russia. How is it possible?
Russia roster

I just would like to understand why Zhilin was called again, c'mon he's been on bench all the time in Lokomotive, not even entering to serve, why do not give a chance to Byryukov ?
And i got so excited about Ostapenko on full squad, i hope he return as soon as possible
Russian roster for WGCC: - only one change comparing to ECH roster - Alexey Verbov is replaced by Valentin Golubev.
Setters: Sergey Grankin, Sergey Makarov
Opposites: Nikolay Pavlov, Maxim Mikhaylov
Outside Hitters: Evgeny Sivozhelez, Alexey Spiridonov, Dmitriy Ilinykh, Ilya Zhilin
Middle Blockers: Dmitriy Muserskiy, Nikolay Apalikov, Andrey Ashchev, Artem Volvich
Liberos: Artem Ermakov, Valentin Golubev
Another easy championship for Russia it seems.
The 14-men US roster:
Setters: Kawika Shoji, Micah Christenson
Opposites: Carson Clark, Murphy Troy
Outside attackers: Reid Priddy, Matthew Anderson, Sean Roooney, Paul Lotman, Jeff Menzel
Middle blockers: David Lee, Max Holt, David Smith, Futi Tavana
Libero: Erik Shoji
A surprise move by adding the back-up setter Christenson to the squad. He will make his senior NT debut in Japan. He was part of the Junior NT.

It isn't his debut in senior NT, he has already played in NORCECA Continental Championships - he got best setter and server awards there

Italy took revenge. 3-1 against Russia 28-26, 25-20. 19-25, 27-25. Travica was elected MVP.
Italian receiving was very shaky. The surprise was Piano instead of Beretta in the starting six.
From Russia, the best was Dima. He wasnt so accurated in the serves, but a monster in the other skills. Sivo

After 1st match Italy-Russia We know that Brazil will win the Cup.

I would say partial revenge. A win in a meaningless tournament is not really a dream job for Italy, but it will for sure boost their confidence. Russia proved once again they are vulnerable in opening games. But don't put Brazil on the first place yet
We could take Brazil to the 5th set for the 1st time, with a 20-18 lead and the ball and momentum in our side, Ghafour's mistakes were costly
This was a good game still for Iran against probably the best team of the tournament
Priddy isn't playing well both attack and reception
USA team found the setter and the libero for next 10 years!
