I am thinking of watching this final live in Nagoya but the tickets are so hard to come by. One of my colleagues’ daughter is going to be a volunteer on ground giving out the balls to players hehe.
My personal favorite is Kyrgyzstan and PRC.

Oh god i thought i saw Japan at their worst during the AVC championship last month but no, this is just embarrassing, Indonesia played well but the amount if mistakes Japan had is unbelievable. Do the players actively try to get Ferhat fired or they're incapable of playing well anymore?
What's the deal with this kind of blocking technique:

China-Vietnam
In yesterday's match Vietnam was let down by poor reception. They led Korea 21-19 in set 1 but lost 6 points in a row to Kim Da'in's serve. It was the same in set 2, the score went from 20-20 to 21-25...it was Kim's serve again. Eventually the match, which could've gone either way, ended Korea 3-1. Both Vietnam and China have the firepower and both teams need to improve on their defense.
Thailand-Indonesia
In yesterday's match against Japan, Indonesia showed resilience in floor defense and good court coverage. Thailand have the edge but they shouldn't take this match lightly.
Japan-Chinese Taipei
Chinese Taipei also have good defensive skills,but overall Japan is stronger. Somehow, I feel we still haven't seen Japan's 'A' game so far in this tournament.
Korea-Kazakhstan
Kazakhstan have a strong attacking lineup but they are inconsistent. If they can raise their level, then we can expect an exciting match. Watch out for the two left handed players, Korea's no9 Na and Kazakhstan's no14 Syroyeshkina 
The 20th Asian Games was officially opened today amidst music and dancing around a full size replica of the Nagoya Castle in the stadium, and to top it all, a dazzling fireworks display.
