aaaaand Cuba imploded, as is tradition. They are making a ton of errors now.
Don't see them winning the 5th, when they "leave" the match they rarely come back.
Ha, i spoke too early. They also had another collapse inside the collapse in the 5th. Looks like Cuba is in for another painful Olympic elimination just like 2012
The host curse is lifted, Canada qualifies.
PS is there anything more insufferable than this commentator? Worse than Italian tv.
Always have a cuban in your team, but never make a team of 7 of them.
I didn't want Canada to win because now I'm certain France will be in our pool, but oh well...
I'm really sorry for Simon, it was his last chance to go to olimpics

Unfortunately in volleyball very few players and teams get what they deserve. Cruel sport.
Canada .....Let`s win tomorrow.
Serbia
So Leal and Leon are going to the Olympics with their adoptive countries. Had Canada won Argentina in the first round, Simon could have been to Tokyo under the Cuban flag.

If I remember correctly Canada wanted to "get" Simon. But I don`t know what happened and I think he changed his mind. Some other countries had interest in him too.

Even I heard a rumor that Bulgaria wanted him though until now I don't know "who" gave the rumor.

I read that news about two years before the Tokyo Olympics. On checking, it sounds like the ultimate source of the rumor is from sportal.bg:
Final China vs Iran. Which side's going to get qualified?

Can they both lose?

Lol. Well, I'd rather Serbia be there at Tokyo than either of these teams.

They were pathetic in the two qualifiers they played. Honestly it's better that they won't go.
Ok, Iran won so these will be the pools for Tokyo:
A
Japan
Poland
Italy
Canada*
Iran
South american team
B
Brazil
USA
Russia
Argentina
France
Tunisia
And even without Ghafour, Iran qualified to Olympics easily. But for real, isn't there anyone else than their current OPP to come? He would just get blocked and pass the ball like how they do it in women's volleyball. Even Chinese players would play his hands when he was blocking the ball. The worst ever OPP performance I've ever seen in my life.
Iran deserves the title going to Tokyo, they truly the strongest team in this tournament.
Such groups composition is ridiculous... exactly as like whole quali system.
well that was too easy, but I was expecting only "one tough match" which happened yesterday. I knew they will play 100% today.
I think if you consider the whole Olympic cycle, Iran was better than other Asian teams and deserved the quota without any doubt.
but I hope Ghafour fully recovers for the Olympics, the opposite position was the weak link in this tournament, even though I really can't understand why Kolakovic played with Mahmoudi in last 2 matches, he used to be a very good player, but he is overweight and out of shape, I know experience matters in crucial matches but he was really bad, Yali couldn't be any worse.
