So afaik brazil should be 1st ranked team in combined ranking for quarterfinals right? They have two 3-0 matches won
if they beat Poland 3-0 or 3-1 then yes if Poland wins in 3 or 4 probably it’s gonna be Poland

Is the quarters same as before Top 4 then draw lots?
no, 1st plays 8th, 2nd plays 7th etc
Just the question what for Japan qualifies to quarterfinal? To get the same treatment from Brazil as today?
on Sunday it can be interesting game for polish fans I hope that poles will not f*** up against Brazil
Unless Lukasik and Stysiak show up it’s gonna be hard for Poland…
I’m pretty close to say that all of quarterfinalists may become medalists at this point. Mostly the matchup and the shape on this specific date will matter but there seems to be no clear favourite so far.
Also even top spot or second spot after group phase doesn’t give anything as this team may play Serbia, USA or China as 7th/8th team. Quarterfinals should really be great.
USA wouldn’t work even with Egonu as OPP. They have no firepower from OHs. It would make sense to play with Larson and Cook if their reception was perfect but it’s far.
i think both teams should be happy with the result. NED was expected to loose 3-0 or 3-1 before the game, and TUR hast managed to win considering injuries and they played no friendly game to see how fit they are.
Injury of whom? Only Zehra was missing in starting six
Tonight only 68 balls to Vargas, against Italy we may get to 90
What a choke by NED
I feel bad for Vargas. She carried this team last seasons but she can’t be scoring 30 or 40 points each match. She needs some help.
I don’t think that are nerves really. Karakurt has been pretty error prone lately and Hande is out of shape. As usual everything is in Vargas hands just she is not getting that many sets.
Czyrnianska walked in for 3 points and scored an attack, dig and ace
Korneluk and Smarzek really saved this match in the 2nd set
She called those pushes/tips as lifting instead of double touch. More importantly, even she herself wasn’t consistent at all, some looked completely fine were called, while some other similar actions weren’t. And I have never seen a setter dump that Marte did was called as lifting in my entire life. It’s ridiculous to say “in fact” that rubbish referee did the “right things”. She should be banned for a long time already.
Maybe but yesterday in Italy Brazil match also such plays were called.
So they should decide if they call it always or when.
Because the referee this match isn’t named Nurper
Actually Polish commentators mentioned before the match that FIVB strictly ordered referees to call any push of the ball as double touch. So in fact Turkish referee did the right things
I also watched the same. I think Wada clearly stepped the line.
I guess it’s clear already what is the agenda for referee since she stopped play on Wolosz double touch
Polish girls are so nervous, I get it its their debut but new format doesn’t leave too much place to get it going…
Another tip not called, fivb creates rules and later doesn’t follow them…
Why Japan tipping is not called? DR lost 5 points or so like this today…
Prediction for JPN vs POL (3-1). Just coz I love JPN.
so its not a prediction just a wish
