What a game between Argentina and USA. Its a joy to watch De Cecco and Christenson. Both very brilliant setters. Defalco's "beach" moves were very effective.

Oh, Poor Agentina. They did try. USA is better on blocking and defence.
-
meh...
Serving too poorly and softly in the last two sets costed Argentina the game. No pressure whatsoever on the reception, Micah was just setting easy balls to Defalco all the time. Also, many serve errors in the deciding moments of the 1st and 5th sets putting themselves under constant pressure of playing with opponent set points.
Last few years it has been a trend for ARG to serve very weakly in VNL and then significantly better at the serious competition. Hope it's the same this year.

Which ones do you expect that can participate?
Salehi, Karimi, Mojarad + Kazemi and Abedini (both got injured in the 1st week of VNL) I also can name couple more players like MIrzajanpour too but they are not that important
also we have to wait and see the situation regarding Mousavi and Ghafour. if they join the team or not.
have to say some of these guys will have a hard time to find a place in the starting lineup or even the 14-man squad.
-
Bardia Saadat and Meysam Salehi deserve a call up too imho they had some fans here 😅
-
China currently getting demolished to Serbia B makes you wonder how the hell they challenged every other team in this year's VNL
-
Petar Krsmanovic tries very hard to prove himself is a mediocre middle blocker.
-
Italy with a 6-0 run to come from behind in the 2nd set.
Slovenia need ITA to sweep to have a chance in the final match to qualify for the finals.
Slovenia need to win in less than 5 to reach finals if Netherlands lose in less than 5 to Italy. -
remember how there was an ace serve song in the past, (not the current one ace, ace).
We need a net serve song for the men’s game….
-
Netherlands wasted 4 setpoints against Italy in the 2nd set... meltdown all over again
-
Slovenia couldn’t win, so the Finals quarterfinals.
Italy vs. NetherlandsFrance vs. Japan
USA vs. Brazil
Poland vs. Iran
outside of the first match, the others look interesting -
I guess that ITA, FRA, USA and POL will advance. Pity that Argentina couldn’t make it, with De Cecco they would be a threat for Italy.

I went to Gdansk for VNL last weekend. The Polish fans and atmosphere was amazing, as expected.
However, the most unexpected thing was the way the Polish players treats their fans. Most of them would sign EVERY autograph and take EVERY picture. Main kudos to Tomek Fornal, Kamil Semeniuk and Janek Firlej - they stayed for like 30mins until security kicked us out or being pulled off for interviews (and come back again after!). These players are really the most down to the earth STARS I’ve ever seen! Brawo! -
Also is there any polish speaker who can help me understand the polish chants/songs/words?

Any specific chant/song/word?
IIRC, at some point against Slovenia there was ,,Kolorowych jarmarków'' from 70s, legendary Polish song, which says in a chorus: ,,[I miss the most] colorful fairs, tin watches, feathered cockerels, balloons on a wire'', and stuff like that.
