I know it has been said about a million times before but the refereeing has been godawful this tournament. Missed net touches, missed block touches, missed attack line faults (or calling ones that did not happen), wrong calls that ended up changing the course of a set and/or match... referees should be much more careful with their calls nowdays since it's only them and the challenge system that the players have to rely on, but they seem to have gotten much more lazy instead.
I agree, tbh I don't remember a tournament where the refereeing was this bad.

injuries.
It's a long summer.... VNL was taken more seriously than before (due to both rankings and 2021's fiascos)
How many teams are dealing with problems of some sort? (im not going through them all, but it's a fair few)
and just teams are weaker in general... teams are in the post-OG transition that they didnt get with covid. Usually they get a whole national team season + the world championship season to transition.... now they dont have that.
Yeah but since WCH ultimately gives more ranking points than VNL I thought it'll be given more weight
but yeah injuries like you mentioned
Wasn't expecting this from USA though
The ranking points drop/rise of WCHs is really... a lot
-
Italy - Japan
Brazil - China
right?

They were also horrendous in the recent OG and VNLs

WYL US Holland’s best player!!! 😡
-
Italy - Japan
Brazil - China
right?
No, it will only happen if Japan loses 0:3/1:3 to Netherlands tonight. Otherwise it will be Italy vs China, Brazil vs Japan.
-
This game is a torture right now. Belgium should put their backup players and rest Herbots.
-
Italy - Japan
Brazil - China
right?
Its not been determined yet... Even if China sweeps or wins in 4, if Japan sweep or win in 4 against the Netherlands later, they will finish 3rd and play Brazil (who's 2nd), because they'dend up with 1 more point than China. If China want to avoid Italy they need a little help from the Netherlands.

Sigh, now Gong has to continue hurting herself in the upcoming games… hopefully the opponent kicks them out ASAP

yuan doesn’t have a single block point… wow

oh Wang Yunlu

I think China has chances to advance to the semifinal against Br or Italy.
-
Wang Yunlu deserves some credits for her performance in this WCH
