    I don’t think that being in basket 1 or 2 will matter that much for Poland. 33% chance of getting France is not such an amazing buffer tbh considering it would be more beneficial to get a weaker opponent in quarterfinal than in the group stage. I don’t think losing matches on purpose is a way to go… outside of that random time pre-Rio when winner of Dominican Rep - Puerto Rico match was going to play in much tougher Olympic Qualifier tournament with top Asian & European teams and the loser with the African ones. Still can’t believe how Kwiek decided that he wanted to win that match :lol:

    but also this way Poland avoids Turkey and China and both are the teams Poland has worst record against

    Not the Chinese players giving at least 5% more this week in order to prove to Cai Bin that the team and its energy is better without WYL :heart: LYY is a lock and not bringing ZT is a crime. Wu Mengjie has proven this VNL she can play great matches with her height and power. I haven't seen yesterdays match but sounds like Zhang Changning was a gamechanger too. No need to change anything in that OH line-up mister CB! :hit:

    Wow USA won 3-0 against Japan and Turkiye lost 3-0 against Brazil, and looks like Poland is going to lose 3-0 to China. All unexpected, I thought USA could win against Japan but not 3-0, and looks like Turkiye flat out lost to Brazil, I don’t think that was intentional, I think they just lost, what ever the reason after being ahead 2-0 sets against China, something had happened maybe they lost their self-confidence, whatever, but from then on they lost 5 sets in a row. I don’t know what happened to Poland as well.


    It looks like Brazil, Italy and China are the most solid teams right now, but next phase will tell us more. Does Serbia going to have some friendly games with teams like Italy? I think it will helped them to get themself prepared for big matches.

    i wonder why no EU club team is scrambling to sign Wang. Ecsa should have gotten her over rettke

    Yuan will play in vakif next season,Tianjin only has Wang yuanyuan to play wcc.Tianjin is top 1 team in chinese league,so it is difficult for wang to play abroad.

    I'm outside the time limit, but I'd like to share some impression about our game against Serbia. For being such a young team I think they did very well, always staying in the game and taking smart choices with attacks and serving. We did our bit in helping them though: blocking was bad and most of the time we looked like we weren't able to take any countermeasure to their game. Overall a few step back from the performance against Turkey, but at the same time this game hadn't the same importance, so I guess keeping the same focus wasn't that simple. Let's see how we'll perform against the USA with most of the starters back.
