Turkey and Italy has been sucking really bad for a long time and just now they finally got stronger... so is not like that they would deserve to be in Group A or D. If they wanted to be in a weaker group they should have won a Medal at the Olympics and World Cup like Serbia did.
I think I get how things tilt a little in Japan's (as host) favor to keep attendance up (or whatever) but how is all the rest of this tournament rigged? Seems like everybody from different parts of the world think it's deliberately back-roomed against their team. I really don't get it. Does FIVB put sticky stuff on those random ball draws so that the best teams (in their mind) end up in the playoffs? Or is the whole way it's organized make it so that random ball draws have no effect on FIVB's pre-determined outcome.
