Dagostino was everywhere! I think he had a lot of great second touch as well.
Brazilian broadcasters were in love with him lol Seems like he's gonna give Watten trouble as Shoji's immediate backup.

Portugal lost to Japan and will be relegated next year.

...... he played at setter at Stanford

So since Russia has already qualified to Final 6, I feel bad for Zemchenok as he probably will get cut when Mikhaylov joins the team.. He has made a big contribution from the 1st week when Poletaev was still a big question mark. If I were Maxim, I'd be guilty of taking someone else's spot especially when you havent played a single match going to the Finals..
Trusting key players is always the tradition for Russia NT. Even if Kovalev played great in VNL's final 6 last year, he still can not earn a spot in WCH. As long as Maxim and Poletave are healthy, there is no room for Zemchenok. He will play for Kazan next season, obviously as a sub for Sokolov.
-
The game of Brazil vs Canada is not exciting.
Brazil only started with Lucarelli and Douglas. They did not take this game seriously as they already guarantee the spot for final 6.

If you're France and Poland, which group is easier?
USA - Russia or Brazil - Iran

For Poland, Brazil and Iran. But Poland will play in Chicago in C roster, so actually no matter.
-
Oh god Sometimes I want to kill Patch when he makes unnecessary errors.
-
Great blocking duo from Huhmann and Langlois.
-
There was a Gholami MB before. Is this his son? He's like little Seyed.
-
Yali is so skinny. I wonder what's his weight.
-
Patch with 3:50M spike reach is INSANE!!
-
I think with the Iran's loss to USA now USA is in the top 6 and the team arrangements in Chicago should like be in the following:
Iran,Brazil,Poland (possibly)
USA,Russia,France -

LOL Adel Gholami is only few years older than this Masoud Gholami. not related

Bulgaria should really do something about their chemistry and leadership. I guess a trip to somewhere beautiful like the mountains or anywhere where they can be closer with one another.
This team just doesn't feel as tight-knitted like the other NTs and it's probably because the strongest players are always separated from each other during club leagues.
So much scowls everywhere. The attitude of everyone feels very isolating. I feel so bad for the fans who watched them play.
-
This is just so sad. I have no words for Bulgaria. Luburic who had trouble serving since he made the roster is scoring aces like it's christmas.
-
Parapu the rapper made a good impression. He's still far away from Poletaev or Muzaj but it was nice to see him finally play.
Ivovic served Bulgaria like a madman and made it difficult to come back. Luburic showed signs of life with Batak setting him instead of Jovovic. He was tipping and felt very uncomfortable with the balls Jovovic gives. I think it's finally great to see him play as normal as possible.
For Jovovic and Todorovic, it could become complicated. I think Grbic made a good move to bring a new setter. Feels like he trusted the new one because he's taller than Todorovic so he can help the block.
Right now the right side setting of Jovovic really have to improve or he could be demoted to the bench.
There's also another highlighter. Was that Vucicevic? He served pretty well in the tournament and he can definitely pose a challenge to Atanasijevic and Luburic in the coming years.

A: USA, Russia, France
B: Brazil, Iran, Poland

Group A is death group no doubt. All of last year's medal winners 1 will not make it to SF..
