Brazil must hate Serbia right now.
2018 FIVB World Championship - Japan

Brazil will hate Serbia, and USA might hate China tomorrow.
-
All the same topic again: if the formula provide the qualification 2 days earlier, why is Serbia to blame if they chose to rest the titulars?
[I specify I'm not watching the match, so if Serbia is deliberating losing it's another situation, even if it's kinda hard to say if someone is losing on purpose or not, especially when the bench is involved]
For example, if tomorrow Italy will rest the titular and lose, Russia should blame us for not playing vs USA with our maximum power? Or USA should blame China if they play with the bench vs Russia?

Yes, let’s all pretend that Serbia aren’t trying because Japan are just such a bad team that it would be impossible for Serbia ever to lose to them and naturally Serbia are scared of Brazil and want to eliminate them, even though they destroyed them just a week ago

Remember London 2012 when the US had the chance to eliminate Brazil and didn't take it. Unfortunately fair play doesn't win gold medals.
Brazil might be looking erratic and shaky but they can still beat anyone in the world in a in/out match.

of course, Brazil are still dangerous but I have watched most of the match and the Serbs are trying, Japan are a very good team as well. OK, so Terzic rested Boskovic but I think that’s just because he doesn’t want her tired or injured for the important games, I don’t think anything suspicious is going on.

I hope Russia makes it. They are the most enjoyable team in this tournament for me.

Same thought! The Brazilians are the most resilient team there is and USA learned that the hard way. If a team can eliminate them now, they should without reservation.
Italy may rest their starters against the USA since that core has been playing non-stop. Serbia is losing to Japan so that changes everything.

The pattern of the end of sets 2 and 3 is the same: Japan leads by 2 points, Serbia catches up, Japan goes again leading then Serbia all of sudden cannot block anymore after point 23. And the setting of Japan is so predictable, you can tell in advance.

How US could eliminate Brazil in London 2012?

If japan wins 3-1, does brazil needs to beat japan in 3sets?

I have the same observation.

USA already qualified to the QF could have played with their bench against Turkey and let them through.

I'm not blaming Serbia, first of all. I'm just saying how Brazil must be feeling right now. The only thing that's to blame is the formula
Tomorrow's match-ups are really exciting, but that's if they all play their starting line ups
-
Here we go again -- Serbia and Japan...
You can blame the rules, you can blame the teams, or you can simply stop watching the muppet show.

Guys with a 3-2 Japan win, but then tomorrow 3-1 3-0 Brazil. Who would make it?
