Things would be interesting if on the final day Serbia vs China serbia is already qualified and then throw against china to rest players

would be smarter imo to put China in the pressure of qualify by ranking points instead of been relaxed in VNL

Welp, guess that ends the really fun match with team USA. I think Korea, if they play this well, can at least win against Colombia (maybe even Slovenia). This pool is really fun.

I remember I said that this canadian team was so much promising and if they stayed 5 years at vnl they could be top 10th
Now they are 11th with 30 points behind number 10 and with chances aluve to qualify to Paris
-
Canada to qualify has to win out and preferrable 3-0 in those matches, because that will get them to 14 points with 5 wins, and 17-10 sets won-lost (1.70)
Serbia with one win would be ahead of Canada, even if tied on points, Serbia getting a total of six set wins over the final 3 matches will put their sets ratio ahead of Canada (18-10). But Serbia would only reach 4 wins, if that happened.
Serbia if they win out against DR, China and Netherlands, would mean that best that all three teams (DR, China and Netherlands) would get to 5 wins.
However, all three teams could still reach 16 points. Basically Canada needs all of the China-Netherlands-DR matches to go five sets as this would keep them from getting maximum points. Instead this would mean the max 13 (2+1+0 (Serbia) match points. Canada would overtake all of them with the 3 wins at max points with 14. Probably the best and maybe only scenario for Canda to qualify right now.

Wow finally this tournament is giving us something. Congrats Canada!
I think the Poland x Thailand and Germany x Slovenia matches are also open for an upset, hope so at least.
-
If Poland and Germany win today, Pool C is basically first teams to two wins as everyone would be at 4-0 starting the final 3 matches.

Group Amess is back
as far as Canada winning everything now: lets not underestimate Czech Republic and Ukraine, the latter lost all matches 3-0 but none of those were very easy. Czech girls even got a win and a set vs the "top" teams. I kinda hope that one of them can beat Canada for extra chaos, and because they could reward themselves for playing very solid so far! I'm afraid Mexico will end without a win, but they are one of those teams that should aim for the future with their young players (like Slovenia and Bulgaria).But just imagine Canada, Germany and Japan qualifying through this OQT, then NL and DOM are basically done already /crying in laughter/
-
Poland started poorly from 0-6 and loosing first set. Then in second they smashed Thailand 25-7
I wonder how it will go further... -
This Poland x Thailand match is what I paid for XD
-
These teams should join group A because this match is pure chaos
From Thailand using the block left & right, to being completely overpowered, to again being in the lead -
nootsara entered and destroyed the rthym, there was no need to change the setters when you simply can't pass.
-
the messiness of the last games trumps the boringness of the earlier gameslol.
-
Thailand
-
Great match to watch.
Utterly deserved win of Thailand over a tired and uninspired Polish team
-
Poland was saved by shirt touch on 12-10 and made score 11-11 and Lavarini did what? Replaced Wolosh and Stysiak
-
THAILAND
Pornpun was simply amazing and once they started running those combinations Poland's block was nowhere to be found -
I genuinely believe that this VNL was just a fluke for Poland our level after that just got back to where it was.
