Brazil was pretty angry after almost losing the first set.

15-0?? Impressive!
Italy won 3-0, nice match, we defend quite well but also Bulgaria kept alive several balls, there were more than one fought action, even if Italy was practically always in control.
I was expecting a lot more from Puerto Rico. This third set was downright tragic...
Cameroon seems not to be the piece of waste team, we are used from Africa (sorry for the harsh words, but it was true). And Mexico can't live only from Bricio of course...

Harsh but true words, don't apologise for telling the truth. Anyway Cameroon is light years above what we're used to see from that part of the world, if we have to trust the level of play they showed us at Rio 2016.
USA almost losing the first against Aserbaijan. They looked better with Hancock in.. Carli looks worried to me. Kim Hill is off rhythm today, she can't figure out her timing with Carli's sets. I'm glad they pulled it off though, they saved 5 set balls. Jana Kullan is playing very good today, receivng and attacking too
Germany took Ned first set. That is surprise for sure.
It's quite a relief for the casual volleyball fan to see Germany rising from its ashes and be once again competitive at this level. They were the second best European team for several years even before the golden generation left by Guidetti.
Carli looks like she has a problem with her setting tempo to any player. I already mentioned Hill, Murphy looks like she can barely jump, always in front of the ball, MBs getting so few sets..
This is their first match in the original lineup, and first match after a long time, so I hope that explains some things
What happened to Plak? She looks like Lanza right now.
Good comeback of the Netherlands in the 4th set! But it was a poor performance, only Sloëtjes played good! Also Lohuis as a substitute was good.
I personally love the way the Dutch celebrate their points. It can be annoying to some though.
Germany could have won 3-1 but still enormous improvements. Should easily qualify to the second phase.
Good news for Serbia is that Mihajlovic looked good today so hopefully she is fully recovered from that recent injury. The match was close once DOM started to really play late in the 1st set, but Serbia always had too much quality.
Also, great fight from Germany but they really should have taken it to a 5th set, Sloetjes really saved Holland.
I can't respect Maja Ognjenovic's game while her settings 3 for Veljkovic, 5 for Malesevic and 4 for herself.
Any livestream for japan-argentina please?

there are 5 asian, 2 african, 9 american, 8 european teams in the competition. why are there more american teams than europeans. there is same unfairess in football. 5 of 10 south american teams qualify for world cup, 3 of 6 north american teams qualify for world cup. and yet 13 of almost 60 teams qualify for world cup from europe. this really should change. even regarding north and south america as different continent, americas are given more spots than they deserve in most sports.
