Oh my god, Gong xiangyu has improved miraculously in this tournament.

I can't believe how bad USA played.. although I can't say I didn't see this coming watching their previous games
-
Now I'm seriously wondering what about tomorrow? Italy and China have the opportunity to kick the US out of the tournament. They both need to rest their players though...
-
They're done. USA's blocking failed them.
-
China should rest their starters tomorrow, in case there will be more injuries. s
-
Serbia low-key losing on purpose against Japan

You can truly see how much more of an impact she's made this second round.
-
i suppose tomorrow ITA could also help the USA...

They are safe? They don`t have to win tomorrow?
What about the USA and Russia?

they just beat USA 3:0. Already in F6.
-
Russia and USA will be fighting for the last spot, though with different opponents. If Italy gives USA a free pass tomorrow, China-Russia match would be totally pointless.
-
IMHO it would be a huge risk to play our best team against the USA, we're not sure China will do the same against Russia. And I honestly don't think this US team is more dangerous than Russia and worth risking fatigue and injuries over.

WCH can be so manipulative, and it can create hatred between teams, I don't like it.

busa can't pass to save her life.
but the serbs are relaxed, smiling, laughing. this match means nothing to them.

Italy going for the win tomorrow to guarantee that they do not end up in the same pool with Serbia in the final 6. 1st place teams are automatically in the opposite bracket..
-
Japan 2-1 now 😜

Serbia might not be the first place team though.

Yeah, avoiding Serbia is a must at this point.
Surprise, Japan is winning 2-1.

If interested in the first place, Italy needs 1 point to be sure China won't get ahed of us (I mean, 1 point is enough regardless the result of China-Russia: if China won't make 3 points tomorrow we're first in any case. But they play after us so we won't know).
It would be nice to avoid Serbia in final6, but at the moment they haven't secured the first spot yet; and we also have to consider that having Serbia in the next pool with us would mean being sure of not meeting them in case of semifinal...
Anyway, I would still be happy if we decide to play with all the bench: the girls deserved it
And who knows what they can achieve
