Why are the brackets so unfair?
It's done based on current FIVB ranking.
-
I agree the upper half looks much stronger than the lower, but in case Mexico had Bricio and Colombia played with their best team it would have been more balanced between them.

There's nothing for second team anyways so it doesn't matter how matchups are arranged. To promote to vnl, one should win all 3 matches

I noticed your impressive prediction skills during VNL. Out of curiosity, how would you rank the following teams: France, Vietnam, Ukraine, Croatia and Sweden.

To me, semis will be France, Ukraine, Colombia and Sweden.
Finals will be France-Sweden
Champion Sweden🥳
I'm a big Haak fan so I might be biased about final. France has equal chance especially after Bauer is also returning to NT. They were missing a good MB. On the other hand, their key players are not in their best shape so Sweden has a fair chance if we see Lazic sisters can sufficiently support Haak.
Rebecka will be back to NT for this tournament, right? Is she fully recovered?

So this tournament starts with Quarterfinals. Okay
And that means (you're predicting) Vietnam plays France and goes home
Brrr

Match will happen only if the Vietnamese players can get their visas/permits in time to travel to France. Last I heard these are still being processed

Vietnam is a fun team to watch but playing in SEA games against short teams is different against taller European teams. But these tournaments are always up for surprises!🥰

Rebecka is in the lineup for the challenge cup!
I would really like to see Sweden vs Vietnam personally.

I see. Personally I really wouldnt put too much belief into a Swedish victory albeit a very generous draw. In case France will match with Helena Cazaute, I am kinda convinced they will defeat Sweden in a hypothethical matchup. Without Cazaute it might be more balanced for sure.

Mexico's roster is quite sad. No Bricio or Parra (or their other good NCAA players)
S: Ivone Martinez, Celeste Vela, Paola Rivera
Opp: Andrea Rangel, Fernanda Rodriguez
OH: Grecia Castro, Daniela Siller, Aime Topete
MB: Andrea Elicerio, Joselyn Urias, Karina Flores, Sara Cantu
L: Joseline Landeros, Paola Laborda
(this isnt official, but what i saw online)
